amateur got a reaction from JeffT in Newsworthy updates from Chris Watton
As said before, I would vote for something like this one (Gouden Leeuw, as drawn by Van de Velde) in a 1:96 scale
All kits tend to be "HMS-ships"....

amateur got a reaction from hamilton in making collars
I'm a bit struggling with the info you're looking for (probably a translation issue )
I think you can do it llike the original: spllice an eye in one end, attach the deadeye block in to the line (pace a seizing under it), feed the other end of the rigging line under the bowsprit, and take it upwards again thruogh the spliced eye, and fix it onto itself using a seizing.
Or is that not what you want?
See pic below, Dutch did it slightly different: the used two spliced eyes and a lashing in between.
The line is going from the mast upwards, around the block (attached with a seizing), down round the other side of the mast, under the bowsprit, and upwards again, ending either in a spliced eye, fixed twith a lashing,
or fed through the first eye, and seized to itself.

amateur got a reaction from janet bode in help staining masts and spars - moved by moderator
In case of paint: waterbased paints tend to raise the fibers. So, painting is also not without "danger"...
However, I got a reasonable result using a diluted waterbased acrylic paint, giving it a light sanding after drying, and afterwards repeating the pint (sagain dluted).
The first coat of paint tended to keep most fibers in place, the second coat of paint was needed to staint the uncoloured spots due to sanding down unwilling fibers. As you need more coats of paint, some testing is needed.

You can tell him, we did before, but the only response we got from him so far is
that he keeps on throwing away previous work, and showing us something even better.....

I think they are called fenders, having more or less the same function as wales.

amateur got a reaction from mtaylor in The Art of Ship Modeling - Bernard Frölich
I once read that someone bought the book, and considered buying a second one as
his admiral wanted (almost demanded) it on the coffeetable, and not on the bookshelf in his shipyard....
