Hi Bob, OK, if I am not able to make a figure of the captain Slokum, I will speak that the captain in a cabin reads the book. Couple of days ago to me presented one more small bottle and now I am again compelled to choose between an old bottle and new. You can look today's update below Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Dennis, Yes, I so do too. But I go to a hobby shop for beadwork to buy the wire.Yes, I so do too. But I go to a hobby shop for beadwork to buy the wire. Best Regards! Igor.

Thanks Patrick,Gwyl! Patrick, I can try to make a figure of the captain Slokam, but I am afraid that it wouldn't be pleasant to the captain Best Regards! Igor.

Yes, Carl, I have a few bottles suitable for this model (I wrote about choosing a bottle at the beginning of this log), but at the beginning of the construction, I chose one. Yesterday I was presented with another bottle and now I think again. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi everyone, Patrick, Carl, Bob, David and all who click on the Like many thanks for good works and the interest to my model. David I have ordered previously and had already received several sets of the PE detailes, such as rails, round windows, anchors, steering wheels, and many others. I use them when I can not make myself these details. So I completed the rails and set them in place. You can see them in the photo below. I used the needle instead instead the drill. Best Regards!

Thanks Patrick, I have used the part of the photoetched set for the railing. I tried to make it of a wire earlier, but the result wasn't pleasant to me. Best Regards! Igor.
-
So, railings... In the morning I made it for the right side. I pasted racks of the wire with a diameter of 0,15 mm to the PE detail. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Patrick, Here is "Gauge to Inches to Millimeters Conversion Table" - http://www.kitco.com/jewelry/gauge-inch-mm.html By the way there is a very simple way to straighten the wire. You can fix one end of the wire and strongly tug the other end. The wire will be direct. But very thin wire may break. Best Regards! Igor

Patick, I again tried to make the Cup for the salon of your yacht. But... it seems, I have a little time for other attempts.

Patrick, you can try to look at it here, for example - http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/0-2-50M-Roll-1Roll-lots-Mixed-Color-Copper-Wires-Beading-Wire-DIY-Jewelry-Findings-Brass/335131_32308449764.html The price much lower and seems with free shipping. Best Regards! Igor.

Thanks Patrick, Railings... This is my main task now. I hope that tomorrow I will be able to make them. Best Regards! Igor.
-
OK, Patrick. I use the similar wire from 0,15 to 0,4 mm, but diameter is specified on coils . For holders of a rail I try to take thinner wire and for production of a ring I use a boring bit of suitable diameter. Best Regards! Igor. P.S. 7$ for coil?!?!? P.P.S. Now I have two weeks of holidays! I was visiting Murmansk within 3 days.

Hi everyone, Yesterday I bought one more set of files. They it is a little better than what I had earlier. Today I tried them in work. By Patrick's example I decided to make winches on the deck. Best Regards! Igor.
-
Hi Patrick, Your foot rails are very nice! What diameter of the wire you used for them? Best Regards! Igor.
-
Hi Patrick, Our colleagues the doing models from plastic recommend paint Alclad 2 for the imitation of the metal. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Mike, Thanks for words of approval! I was going to make absolutely simple model in pauses of the construction of ATLANTIC, but it seems I have addicted a little. Best Regards! Igor.

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.
