I was also thinking Krassin (I was referring to this diorama by Jim Bauman: http://www.modelshipgallery.com/gallery/misc/icebreaker/Krassin-700-jb/ ) Jan

Nice! Jan

The last one is not correct: when an iron ring increases temperature, both the inside as well as the outside diameter increases. Is a nice experiment at highschool: copper sfere with a diameter slightly below the inner diameter of an copper ring. Sfere won't go through Heat the ring, and the sfere will fall through. My guess is a more violent explosion as the powder heats. Jan

Perhaps you should all upload an example of your best singing, so that we actually KNOW who sings best. (And Andy has his ears wrapped up in duct-tape anyhow, so he doesn't care) Jan

I hope someone came over to rescue her..... (him?) Jan

But... where are the tackles in the last pic? He's not fished yet.... Seriously: are you going to redo all the previous installed guns, or is it just illustration of growing knowledge, so that each next batch of gun is better than the previous one? Jan

Ropewalk Scale Rope Making Tool by ME - opinions?
amateur replied to rtropp's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
It also depends on the amount of rope you need. I used just to do some rope not available in the shop (main stay and anchor cable.) A simple lego-thingy worked fine. I wouldn't consider doing all the rope I need for a build on such e lego thing. Same on the more eleborate ropewalks. No need to buy a byrnes-one if you only need half a yard of rope. No good idea either I think to do 500 meters on a model-expo one. Jan -
Try translate.google.com, choose language dutch in the left panel, type sjors (or anja, whatever you like) and hit the listen-button Works like a charm http://translate.google.com/#nl/en/sjors Jan

You could always use "george". A bit highbrow perhaps for a name like sjors, but the meaning is the same Jan

After a long and busy (and not so model-productive) I've been doing some little knots.... Mainmast finished (apart from some glue and a pair of scissors) on one side, started working on the other side. Hope I can find the time (and motivation) to do the remainder of the standing rigging before Christmas.... btw on a Dutch forum Arjan68 showed that the scale of this kit is not 1:100 as Corel claims, but should actually be around 1:87. I'm not going to redo my ratlines, but they should be slightly wider apart than I placed them. (as should be the stairs and some other details) Jan

She's a real beauty! It's a shame your tubes won't fit, but I'm sure you will come up with a solution for that. There are quite a lot of pics of the launcher, so how detailed are you goning to do them? Some basic tubing, or down to the last nuts and bolts? (for those interested: http://www.maritiemdigitaal.nl/index.cfm?event=search.getsimplesearch&database=ChoiceMardig&needimages=true&searchterm=O19%20lanceerbuizen&allfields=&title=&keyword=&creator=&collection=&shipname=&invno=&museum=&startrow=1 ) Jan

Nice bling! Are you going to weather the copper a bit, in order to get a less shiny appearance, or are you just waiting for the elements do do their job? Jan

I have a question, not on your fantastic technique, but on the reality of gun-handling.... Quite often, you see ringbolts placed in the deck, and a tackle rigged (sometimes even two) to haul back the gun in order to sponge out and load. Seeing how far the gun has to be run backwards to get the sponge in the barrel, I was wondering: were should the ringbolts be placed to get the system working? Jan

Hello NBP, Question1: is it NBP we have to use, or do you have a name? Question2: which ship is KGV? Question 3: can you show us your KGV (in the water...) Jan -
An Aircraft carrier I presume....

Bismarck by NBP - 1:100
amateur replied to NBP's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1901 - Present Day
1:100, that will result i a model of around 2.5 meters? Does that fit into you living? (btw I guess you have already bookmarked the 1:72 Scharnhorst here at MSW?) Jan -

The question is: would Nelson recognise this entry-port.... There is a nice model in NMM showing Victory as she was supposed to be n 1803 without the entry-ports.http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/66474.html There is alos a model that shows victory as she was supposed to be in 1805 sith entryports and even a platform outside the hull.... http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/66475.html The one without is assumed to be the contemporary model Jan
