NMBROOK got a reaction from CaptainSteve in MORDAUNT 1681 by NMBROOK - Euromodel - 1:60 - Beyond Bashed

A very small update,but probably a major milestone achieved for me
The picture shows the forward grating section sized,however the rebates for the anchor ropes need cleaning up after installing all the fastenings.The eagle eyed(enlarging pic essential) will notice I have installed one line of the double nailing.I have found it necessary to install a pair at the same time due to the limit of how small a droplet of cyano I can apply.The holes are 0.3mm apart.I have decided to sand the radius profile to the top rather than risk damaging what amounts to about twenty hours work so far!!This will be done when the grating has been fitted with the combing.The nailing should become more visible then as there are cyano deposits on the surface at the moment.
Kind Regards

NMBROOK got a reaction from michael mott in Mary Rose 1545 by tarbrush - Scale 1:72
Hi John
I can see the reason for despair,however I think there is no need to start again completely.I think this has happened due to the method of frame support shown in post 33.Supporting the frames at the bottom is OK provided the frames are exactly the correct shape and the middle of the frame tops are checked to be running true with a level,square or string line to the centreline.
I would debond the frames from forecastle back.Replace the assembly in the jig and add some tall supports to keel and prow that extend up above the highest frame.Adding temporary braces across the tops of the frames allows you to mark centrelines on.A length of cotton between the jig uprights front and rear can then be used to check these centrelines are infact plumb to the keel.
By all means refit in the jig and check before a stripdown,but I feel the sternpost is leaning the wrong way for this to be a simple case of 'spring' upon removal from the jig.
I wish you the best of luck with resolving this problem,but you are not alone,there are many members here to help you through this.
Kind Regards
Nigel

Hm Nigel, I can't believe this little scale, the tweezer must have a lenght of 15" or so.
But seriously, outstanding work.

NMBROOK reacted to reklein in Wasa by md1400cs - FINISHED - Corel - 1:75
Was just reflecting on all those gunport lids and the poor soul,who, back in the day had to carve 100 lion heads, out of oak presumably and not a power tool for another 400 years.We are a spoiled lot in this day and age. Bill (struggling with a laser cut kit) in the present

Mates,
Thanks for your nice thoughts. Always nice to receive.
Buck, steal as much as you like, I have certainly stolen many ideas following other builds here at MSW. appreciate the compliment
GMT, you were the catalyst for me building weather deck carriages piece by piece after seeing those on your Trinidad SO beautiful--thanks
FrankM you are the one that made me decide to "fix" those missing gun deck carriages. Brilliant idea on your part, excellent foresight that I missed. Your Vasa is also pleasure to follow.
All-in-all; JPett, Nigel (of course), Frank (almost neighbors aren't we) , and all of you kind members looking in, thanks for following along, helps to make our hobby more social.
Let's face it most of us work alone in our shipyards with hardly a visitor, apart from a voice from somewhere across the house saying "dinner is ready" (:-) So our internet communications, and friendships help to keep us connected. Its a nice perk of our hobby....
OK time for my morning laté
Cheers,
MIchael

Thanks Elia, I'm glad that you like my work (and to everyone else who likes).
Dories were difficult to make, I made them a total of twenty until I got a satisfactory appearance.
Bluenose is currently displayed at the national competition ship modelers in Rijeka / Croatia. It is located in the city center in the window:
Otherwise, waiting for a new owner from Germany come get her. The future owner has prepared a large glass box (approximately L120x W30 xH110 cm).
Sails of paper to verify the dimensions:

Cheers, Matija.
