I will use the smallest steering wheel from this set. Сarl aka cog too have bought such set. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/8626-what-have-you-received-today/?p=297620 Pay attention on a sets with railings. They can also be used as a lattice for light hatches. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Patrick, Your winch drums are excellent! Winch drums... this that of what I now constantly think since I don't know yet as I can make them and whether I can make them... Best REgards! Igor.

Hi Frank, Lawrence, Anton, Nils, Carl, Mike, Carl, Nenad, Dimitris, Patrick, David and all and everything who presses the button Like! Many thanks for words of approval and support! As Patrick told (and I agree with him) - Why do we do them? I guess, because if we never tried to do them, we'd be forever wondering if it was possible to make them. I simply try something to make and sometimes it turns out possible to do. I use the glasses and sometimes the magnifying glass - I will show in the evening of a photo. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Mike, Usually I use the photo-etched details by NorthStarModels - http://northstarmodels.com/ It can be not only steering wheels, but also railings, anchors, chains and another. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Bob, I can send you the all drawings which I have if it is necessary for you. Best Regards! Igor.
-
Many thanks, Bob, for for your consultations. Yes, I remember these details. I now think - to paste the planks on walls of deck houses or it is just to paint the walls... Best Regards! Igor.

Hi everyone, Many thanks for good words! Today I have made the planking of the lower part of the hull and prepared parts for desk houses.I too late thought that it is possible not to do the planking of the lower part since I am going to try to make the sea in a bottle. Below you can see photos of today's work. Best Regards! Ighor.
-
Small progress for the end of day. I have made planking of the both sides of the top part of the hull. Best Regards! Igor.
-
Hi Patrick, I think these small details are almost imperceptible, but they demand a lot of work and give a special reason for pleasure. It is perfectly made! Best Regards! Igor.

Hi everyone, Many thanks for constant interest in my work and support. Today the third deck house and the anchor winch are finished. Best Regards! Igor.

Patrick, It won't bring any difficulties for me.I will be glad if it helps you. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Patrick, I have a quantity of a packing film of white color. I am not sure, but perhaps you could use it for sails. On modern yachts of a sail too from synthetic fabric. It has an opaque matt surface and strong. I think, to you there will be enough 30 x 30 cm. I can send it the letter in an envelope to you. Best Regards1 Igor.

Thanks Patrick, I sometimes use needles from a syringe when I need thin tubes. They can be different diameter from 0,3 mm and more. And through them it is possible to stretch a thread if it is necessary. Are you going to do sails or only the mast and the rigging? Best Regards! Igor.
-
Hi Patrick, I always with impatience expect the updating of your Rainbow's log. And expectations are always rewarded! What diameter cross struts on the mast have? What material you used for their production? Best Regards! Igor.

Hi Jorgen, Formation of a sail I do BEFORE installation it on model. At first I moisten it with water and by means of the hot iron I try to give it the correct form. It is usually necessary to repeat it several times. Only after that I use the hairspray for fixing of the form of the sail. The sail has to be dry in this time. Best Regards! Igor.
-
Hi Lawrence, Many thanks for words of approval of my work. I think that ATLANTIC will reach a bottle enough not soon. Yesterday I made the third deck house and started trying to do the anchor winch. Railings too are some problem for me. Best Regards! Igor.
-
Hi Jorgen, About 8 years ago I used hairspray of the strong hold for formation of sails. These sails keep the form still. Best Regards! Igor.
-
I several times met in literature on shipbuilding of a mention of use of natural bends of a tree for production of some details. Best Regards! Igor.

Hi tallshiptragic, I think that you can simply try and you will see that it isn't so difficult as it seems at first sight. Your model of the STS seems not less amazing for me. 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.
