In the USA, check out JoAnn's Fabrics, too. They seem everywhere.

Good idea to include the masts. And I like the colors, even in the indoor light.

Grant, glad you feel up to the work, but be careful around power tools. One of my buds has had back issues for years and the drug he's on now makes him kind of loopy for a while after taking them. He can't drive for a while. He's an outstanding craftsman and his work on his model railroad has dropped off due to the pain meds. Really glad Mobbsie and you have worked up some fixes. Looking forward to seeing them.

Testor's Model Master paints carry Engine Black and Grimy Black, in enamel and acrylic. Vallejo acrylic shows theirs as 70.924 #94 Russian Uniform WW2. Good to see the Badger equivalent colors. Thanks, Kurt.

Are those iron parts painted? That's a nice faded/bleached out black.

Blockade Runner Ship, Available??
Canute replied to flying_dutchman2's topic in Wood ship model kits
Marc, there are some card models of blockade runners. Check out: ecardmodels.com. There is a web site for Ironclads and Blockade Runners at: http://users.wowway.com/~jenkins/ironclads/ironclad.htm Maryland Silver Company has some plans, although not much for runners: http://www.marylandsilver.com/Ship.htm -
Augie, well done. And I like the shrink wrap for strapping. May try it on some barrels.

I read on Augie's current thread where he used shrink wrap on his elm pumps as the iron strapping. Looks good.

Matt, thanks. I dithered over doing just that, worrying over the plank lengths. My muddled noggin over the holidays didn't help. Cathead, thank you; that's my plan right now. I'm in the midst of staining the planks right now. I have some 1/32" stock to do the job. And I'm waxing down my mold boards for the cherry frames. Yeehah!

Tuff, love the barrels. Well done! A question: would real thin plastic strip work for hoops?

Cap'n Steve, we may have to report you to the Admiralty for coffee abuse (almost as big a sin in these parts as alcohol abuse). Leaving it under yer bed?? 3 weeks, eh? I hope you used instant, since it's not considered real coffee anyway. Seriously, I've got coffee and I don't know how many teas the Admiral has stashed in the Purser's Store Room. Some might work better than others. I'm guessing the black teas and pekoes should work better than the herbal stuff. It's that engineer in me coming out again. Third Engine Wiper

Been busy working on non-ship stuff. I'm the membership guy for an organization I'm in and January is very hectic doing renewals and compiling a couple of reports. It's my first time doing this, so I'm proceeding with all due diligence. I'm itching to get back to more fun (?) stuff. I'm sanding down the transom to remove the laser label and make it look like it's built up with separate boards.

Matt, nice sewing. I may have to get the Admiral's old Singer tuned up to do these.

Mobbsie, you adapted and overcame the "issues". Well done. Oopsies are a learning situation. I like your rubber band trick to hold the frames.

Do you plan to paint the outer hull or leave it stained? The planking looks great.

Like Eamon said, too. Follow the doctor's orders and don't shirk the PT, once you can do some.

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.
