What is the white stuff between the mdf-layers? Second question are you going to simulate hull-plating? I like your choice of model. Not many models of these ships around. Jan

I would be very happy if my version 3.0 turned out like this. Can't wait seeing your version 3.0 Jan

hmmm...given the type of men aboard I wonder whether that would be a wise thing to put on your cupboard ... But then, the alternative might shock the mods Jan

6 cm, that s really small to do it as a real pof-model I would have gonefor the plug-method, or even total fake Btw it's great to hear your major medical problem has gone! Jan

LOL I guess there should be antoher one on the sheet: "to be used only under close adult supervision" Jan

You;re right, compared to the tictac, the stove is exceptionally large. I'm still wondering: if this thing is a furnace, that means (almost open) fire. Therefore, you expect it to be secured to the deck. However, securing it, implies that it is no longer mobile.... Although, you could use the three fire-man to get the thing to the next deck Jan

Don't blame us for not noticing, you've "only" showed pics of ugly bacteriae since then Jan

Hi Daniel, In your last pic, there is something on the right side (slightly out of focus). It escaped my attention till now. It looks like a small furnace. What is it? Jan

Sure she will turn out as beautiful as this one! Jan -
I think it differed quite a lot. Many ships were not build with a crows-nest, and were fitted out with one during WWI, to spot for U-boats. I guess all versions were used. I also saw pictures of a metal crowsnest with a hath in the bottom (and a ladder fixed to the foremast) -ofcourse: google will not reprocduce my search-results... Jan

glowing after oil
amateur replied to michael101's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Hi Michael, No you can't glue anything onto line-seed oil.You have to remove the oil wehre you want to glue. It depends a little bit on the type of wood you have. Linseed oil does not always pentrate deep into the wood. In that case first scraping off the oil, second giving it a sanding with sandpaper, and third step rubbing the spot with metyl alcohol should remove enough of the oil to make it possible to glue the decorations. Jan -
In Dutch shipbuilding, the answer usually tends towards: 'we always did it this way'. Alternatively: 'we know the other alternative is better, but this is cheaper.' btw. I don't know whether or not the dinghy was wooden build. It could have been steel. Jan

On msw1 we also had a guy called martanek (also czech, i think) he did these large card models of battleships. Absolutely stunningdetail. He is still somewhere around in the internet, but unfortunatedly, not amongst us.... Jan -

next will presumably be destruction, of some part hitherto unknown Give him a decade or so, and his lower deck will be better than the original. Jan

The rigging of the stay with two deadeyes is like the Dutch way of rigging a (secondary) stay on smaller ships. (pic of the reconstructed statenjacht Utrecht)

Yes and no: I had my ratlines at -on average - 4 mm apart (at 1:100) scale. I changed it to 3.5 mm (again, on average), just because it looked better. Your eye picks up tenth's of milimeters, especially in the case of ratlines, as larger spacing results in fewer ratlines. So the question between 11" and 15" is not just an academic question. Jan

Oh wait, of course not: you have to add all the gunport tackles before going to the next level Jan
-
I see. Sounds reasonable. What's you planning? More destruction on the lower deck, or fixing the beams, and start working at a higher level? (btw, the diners: will they get some colour?) Jan

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.
