  1. 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.
  2. Stain the wood a weathered light gray and let dry. Dab rubber cement in spots on the hull and then paint over the whole hull in your next color. When that dries pop the rubber cement off the hull and you should have bare spots and peeling paint. Used it on some structures; works good.
  3. Try replacing the battery? Some of us need the bigger numbers.
  4. 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.
  5. Looks good, Mark. The cloth weave looks like a used clothes dryer sheet. I knew you'd do it! :)
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Thanks, Steve. The pipettes I've used in the past weren't working so well. I'll give these a shot.
  9. Nicely done, Frank. And a nice catch on that wood bar to keep the frames in line.
  10. Gerhard, this is a ship and era I am deeply interested in. I'll follow along, too. Best of luck in this endeavor.
  11. Hornet, what size needles on those syringes?
  12. 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.
  13. Jesse, you should do a CSS Albemarle or Neuse. There seems to be a dearth of Southern vessels. Need a blockade runner, maybe.
  14. Frank, that is an excellent frame construction tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
