Popeye, the "nun" and "can" are navigational buoys - red, right, returning (from sea). - a wee bit different than the ones you are so expertly crafting and a tad larger as well. A "can" is green and has odd numbers and a "nun" is red and has even numbers.

Well depending on the type of buoy and its intended function it could also be a "nun" or "can" and be painted red or green !

Possible new technique for making sails.

As a photographer I have dealt with Light Impressions many times; their products are excellent and their service is also. -
Hell, Greg, this past winter here the mail delivery was stopped due to SNOW and SLEET. - So much for the "slogan"

18th and early 19th Century cutter models
Jack12477 replied to tkay11's topic in Nautical/Naval History
I have seen Dan's model HMS Vulture and started to follow his build log recently. Have to go back to the beginning and read thru to play catch up. Have not (yet) seen his technique for making blocks but will certainly look carefully for it in his log(s).- 42 replies

18th and early 19th Century cutter models
Jack12477 replied to tkay11's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Thanks, Tony. What prompted my question was the level of detail, especially in the rope and blocks on each of the models. It's amazing what they could produce 200-300 some years ago without the aid of all the "power" tools we have today. I have not seen blocks or rope like that from any of the current kit manufacturers with the exception of Chuck's Syren products. Even the scalloped edging on the plank ends on the foredeck of the 1790 Trial is amazing detail. Thanks for posting !- 42 replies

I have a friend who swears by Model Shipways paints; I, on the other hand, swear at Model Shipways paints. Main problem - they are too thick - unless you dilute them heavily with water they are way too thick (IMHO) to apply even with a brush. For this reason I would never try them in an airbrush. Even applied with a brush the obliterate any small fine detail with their thickness.

If we learn from our mistakes, I must be pretty smart now.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
