  1. I realized that I can contact other upper NYS folk on MSW through the “Community” function. Here is an out-reach I am planning to send to about 35 folk as far away as the Albany area. Have any comments or suggestions.?

    Allow me to introduce our model ship group located in Rochester NY to you. We are a small group that was founded in late 2015. We have members in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Florida, and even one in Lisbon Portugal. We meet monthly and through the Zoom application we have been able to include our more distant members. You can learn more about us by visiting our web site modelshipwrightguildwny.org.
    We have located you through the “Community” drop down function on the Model Ship World forum and are reaching out to explore your possible interest and participation in a lively and talented group of modelers from all walks of life.
    Generally, sessions are structured with introductions of visitors, followed by a brief business segment and then we almost always have a central presentation topic or two ending with a show and tell of group models. The sessions usually last two hours.
    So you are invited to visit us (tune in via Zoom) this Fall and see what we are all about. You might find us interesting enough to join us on a more consistent basis. Please PM me, with your email address or cell, and I will put you on distribution for our Fall schedule.
    We will not badger you beyond this outreach if you are not interested.
    Hoping to hear from you.

      Thanks, Joe.  I am interested, lively enough, not so talented, but keep working on it.  I'm on my 4th build, H.M. Granado 1756.  If you saw the results you would know I'm a long way from even moderately proficient  Due to a move from SC to Ithaca, NY (and other stuff) I still haven't finished her, but hope to soon.  I have long wished for a nearby club and look forward to hearing about y'all.

  17. You may be interested to know the following. On September 26, 2008, Bollinger Shipyards in Louisiana, was awarded US$88 million to build the prototype first vessel in its class.[6] The Sentinel-class design is from the Netherlands-based Damen Group, and is based on that company's Damen Stan 4708 patrol vessel. The first vessel Bollinger built became Bernard C. Webber, which is the first of 58 planned Sentinel-class cutters to be put into the U.S. Coast Guard fleet to replace their old 110 ft patrol boats (and their unseaworthy 123 ft cutters), starting with the first six based in Miami, then six in Key West, then six in Puerto Rico.[7] On July 24, 2014, it was announced that the, U.S. Coast Guard had exercised a $225 million option at Bollinger Shipyards in Louisiana for construction through 2017 of an additional six Sentinel-class Fast Response Cutters (FRC), bringing the total number of FRCs under contract with Bollinger to 30. On May 4, 2016, Bollinger Shipyards announced that the U.S. Coast Guard awarded it a new contract for building the final 26 Sentinel-class fast-response cutters. That brings to 58 the total number of FRCs that the USCG ordered from Bollinger.[8] Acquiring the 58 cutters is expected to cost the federal government $3.8 billion — an average of about $65 million per cutter Bernard Webber piloted the crew of CG 36500 in saving the crew of the Pendelton tanker sinking off Cape Cod in the 1950's.

  18. Aha almost back to bit banging I see! I now understand. I put in some time in the 70s with Intel assembly language so Addunio language is easy to understand. I will pursue with my grandson after i figure out the tools needed. Thanks again and will follow on with you. Joe
  19. Thanks Ian for your response. I will follow up on your Arduino site. We have been working with a CNC dedicated arduino board which accepts G code. Somehow I just couldn't get off that avenue of thought. Our Arduino accepts serial positioning and speed commands only, no aritmetic or logical operations. These are fascinating devices. Joe
  20. Me again Ryland from upstate NY. Four of us within our group met to discuss how we can invigorate our young group of just 6 years. One obvious element as I guest visit and have joined the NJ group is that by shear number they can always count on someone(s) to be willing to share in show and tell or volunteer for a central topic element. We are only 18 in number and only 50% are ever present at meetings and of that probably 7 are active building for one reason or another. I think both Hampton Roads and the NJ groups do well because of their numbers. To the point I was looking on MSW and went to the "Communities" sub page and then dialed in western NY and found about 30 or so MSW members from Buffalo to Syracuse. We would like to contact them to see if they would like to visit and possibly join in with us. Is there a way to identify them (as not all names show up where I move my cursor to their active icon) and PM them?

    Joe

  21. Nicely done Ron. I sympathize as i have had two large models of late to restore and the stands were somewhat troubling for such a seemingly simple task. Your treatment is quite complimentry to the subject. Joe
  22. Now you did it Ian! We have been thinking about a project my grandson needs to accomplish for a college course and i had thought about an approach (of utilizing the controller boards) as part of a solution I might suggest to him. I will definetly being following your progress. My question at the moment is what are you driving these boards with in terms of code (source, lower level, what)? Joe
  23. I am in agreement with your former approach as well. The only caveat that I have used is that I set up one end of a shroud (that saddled a mast) with seizing and then as you say use a simple separartion jig or element for both the finished deadeye and the one to be finished and seize the latter. i just haven't had a satisfing result using an off mast jig to execute this need as the strapped and free deadeye separations never aligned. Joe
  24. Tim I hope you can enlighten me on the following. If not who can? I have it in my mind to sign up for the NE event in October however I have been informed that I must have a surgical procedure that may put me in recovery just before the  October event. The problem is a backlog of non emergency procedures at our hospitals. If I collide with the event timing what is the policy on refunds please?

    Joe 

  25. This stagecan be a bit humbling but once through it I think you can look forward to some dleightful progress towards a beautiful model. Nicely done! Joe
