Nice paint job there, Jack. The blue must be somewhat translucent to do it first. These are Ceramcoat paints ?

Mike, your cutter is so crisp and clean. Masking is not one of my favorite things, but you have executed it to perfection. Great job!

Here you go, Jesse: The notes are mine, sizing the blocks. This plan is part of a practicum over on the MSB site as a Battle Station practicum. It's done in 1/32 scale.

I used to paint brass model railroad engines with a brand called Scale-Coat. The metal had to be clean; even had to strip the clear coat from some engines, since they had bubbles in the clear coating. The Scale-coat worked great, since it was a lacquer and dried glossy. Easier to decal over than flat paints. It didn't need a primer, but if you're painting yellows or reds, you better prime first.

They may have had some tackle and a tie off cleat in the overhead, between the deck beams and carlines. I have battle station plans and that's where the gunport door operating mechanism "resides". A couple of single sheave blocks is all.

You should clean and prep the metal (brass?), either dunk it in some vinegar for brass or apply a primer paint for other metals. The vinegar is acid, so it etches the brass and gives some tooth to the part for the paint to stick to. Let the primer, then paint your color.

Looks good, Jack. Transom is blended in nicely. The hull planking looks smooth. Since this is double planked, the second layer will lay down nicely.

1/10-scale Japanese Fishing Boat kit from Thermal Studios
Canute replied to catopower's topic in Wood ship model kits
Very interesting boat, Clare. Will be following your build. The masking tape looks like the same tape Tamiya sells. Excellent masking tape!. -
How will you keep it level? Guess you could pin the wheels and put one under the trunnion point.

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.
