Jack, I've made this solution, but don't remember how long it took to turn into a staining mixture. No more than a week, I seem to remember.

Brian, I'd go hide under the bed until tomorrow or maybe Friday. You're burning up all your good stuff at an alarming rate. As an old squadron CO of mine used to say, one "aw, s***" wipes out all previous good stuff. You do'd it, bud.

Looks good, Mark. The cloth weave looks like a used clothes dryer sheet. I knew you'd do it! :)

Maybe back in Elizabethan times the barrels were out on deck. Later on the gunner loaded cartridges, usually cloth, with powder, way down in the powder magazines. They worked in cloth slippers, no shoes with metal on them.

Dave, I've read in some journals that the powder barrels were stored on their sides. I suppose they used gravity to interlock the barrels. And the barrels were bound with copper bands; no sparks in magazines.

Canute replied to hornet's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Thanks, Steve. The pipettes I've used in the past weren't working so well. I'll give these a shot. -
Nicely done, Frank. And a nice catch on that wood bar to keep the frames in line.

Gerhard, this is a ship and era I am deeply interested in. I'll follow along, too. Best of luck in this endeavor.

Hornet, what size needles on those syringes? -
WOW, Jack, cutting it close on your deck. Overall, it looks good. Bury, cover, hide - we all make little oopsies, so we have to obscure them. Can't have them sticking out like a sore thumb, eh Jack? Or we'd be forever remodeling them.

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.
