ON your model one turn will be enough. Jan

NOt an answer but a question in return: Do you have belaying pins in your kit? Jan
-
But part(s) of them were destroyed
-
Two or three names? Jan
-
OK, narrowing down: Tribal class? Jan

Iron on veneer
amateur replied to maltbyguy's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I very much doubt whether Doris uses material that has to be ironed on.... I thought she uses self-adhesive materials. Jan -
She's a destroyer, but I guess that's not enough for you Jan

Batavia by *Hans* - FINISHED
amateur replied to *Hans*'s topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Found it on the internet a couple of years ago. Has been my desktop-background ever since. The pic was taken one of the times Batavia was out on the Markermeer to do some sail-trials. Hence the somewhat strange sailsettings (Mains set without the topsails, normal practice was the other way round) Jan -
understanding Italian model boat plans - moved by moderator
amateur replied to susie2's topic in Wood ship model kits
Perhaps you could be somewhat more specific? Is it the (non)metric-problem, the Italian (or lack of english), reading the plans as such, or a kit-specific problem? Jan -

No, I did some picture-searching in my luch-break, and Batavia has the braces belayed inside the gallion, on both sides (at least on th epic I use as my screensaver, klick for full screen, it's a really large picture) Jan -
mary rose partwork by hachette - moved by moderator
amateur replied to geoff's topic in Wood ship model kits
Why do these guys never tell you how many part are coming? I thought under European law they had to give full information on total costs over the full package.... Jan -
Yes Remco, We know you would go for six-sided bolts on the flanges It looks to me as the difficulty of this scale: what details do you incorporate and wich not: even the smaller details seem to be (or actually are) feasible, but were does to much detail destroy the overall effect..... So far: can't have enough of the detail Jan

Flower-corvette for sure, but why this one should be easy is not clear to me..... Ja

ON the yard, there should be an end of rope with a single block. After 'returning to the shrould, the rrope is belayed on the gallion (or sometimes shown: a block on the bowsprit, and then on the railing of the forecatle. I'll check my pic;s of Batavia. Unfortunatedly, I don't have pics that show where exactly the braces are belayed in the gallion... Jan -
OK, I'll change my initial reaction: I don't see hints, even when they are there for everyone to see Still not a clue. A number of helpless caualties, in a cargo ship, but not a torpedo-victim. Rapid sinking of an evacuee-ship? Jan
-
SS Norlandia, perhaps (although, she had a rather 'normal' war-ending, due to a torpedo..... and not too much casulaties) Jan
-
Sorry, but you seem to see hints where there are none Jan
-
Sure looks good. btw: your workbench shows a wide area of interests Jan

I presume it's not: too many related words on the old continent look very much alike this famous four letter word. Jan

which suggest a WWI torpedo victim..... Jan

It looks a bit like "SS Regel Carol I" (apart form the fact that it has two in stead of one funnels....) Should we look around the Donau?? 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.
