    Alan, this is the Woodland Scenics stuff I used to make the snow fo my Sherman tank winter diorama. The paste goes down first then dusted with the snow. Dries pretty flexible and sets pretty quickly. The snow bottle is also a shaker.

    Yes ! Good news! The latest track shows the outer most cone passing roughly 50-75 miles southeast of me later in week.

    No, I haven't, Alan. I mostly use the Hydrocal plaster of Paris. Sets up pretty quick, very light weight, works well with the rubber molds, especially the small details. ScaleHobbyist is in New Hampshire and I have had very good service from them.

    Just an FYI, Alan, Woodland Scenics makes some really good reusable rubber molds for all types of cliff faces, etc. I've used them on several dioramas. See my Sherman tank build log around post #158 for an example.. Nice job !

    Very nicely done! 👍👍

    Very nice figure & diorama, Wefalck.

    If it was me, I would try to salvage the side pieces, first soak in water until wet, careful not too long or the ply might delaminate, then using a hair dryer try to flatten out the curvature, one piece at a time, go SLOW. Once flat clamp between 2 pieces of 1/2 inch or thicker hardwood, cherry, oak, maple. Let sit overnight. Unclamp and see how it looks. If necessary, reclamp and let sit for another 24 hours. It doesn't have to be perfectly flat since it will conform to hull curvature anyway.

    Nice carving

    Sorry to hear that news Michael, but better to get it corrected now before it gets any worse. Best wishes for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

    If the minimum plank length is 25 ft and the ship is 110 ft, then two 40 ft long planks plus a 30 ft plank would meet the minimum length specified in the contract (40+40+30=110 or 30+30+25+25=110). Minimum does not preclude using longer length boards, but it does preclude using shorter lengths, as in your example, 10 ft, 15 ft or 20 ft.

    It also makes using the J-stroke to keep the canoe on track easier to execute, especially if solo.
  17. Jack12477
    Hmmmm ! I always knelt in the bottom a canoe with my tush resting against a thwart. Never sat in the bottom of a canoe. Wonder what paddling from that position is like. Anyway, beautiful looking canoe, Chris. Great job building her.

    Just to let you all know, the boat building is on hold while I do some outdoor work on my 25 year old wood fence which is slowly disintegrating with age. Have to replace several 8 ft long panels, cannibalize usable pickets to replace rotted/broken pickets, and deal with short supplies at the lumberyards. Lumber prices have soared at least 200%, quality is down, what used to be a 48 inch (4 foot) height is now 42 inch (3.5 foot) height. Grrrr! So before the heat and humidity get prohibitive it's time to make repairs.

    Looking good from here. Sorry about the MIA part.
  20. Jack12477
    You will need to get some Pampers for her then. 😁😁😁😁😇 Sorry! Just couldn't resist ! 😉😊 Looks nice Chris
  21. Jack12477
    Who is your friend there on the deck with you ? 😉 Very nice looking work. A masterpiece.

    One machine coming up.

    Ah, good ! I get the best seat this time . 😉🙂🍿🍺

    I guess that's why they call them "trestle table", you could drive a train over them or a team of oxen pulling a hay wagon.
  25. Jack12477
    My Admiral would kill for a table like that ! 😃🤪 Beautiful table

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.
