Sorry to read about your unfortunate incident Mark, I put these occasions down as salutary lessons to be learnt from. But the positive thing to come out of this is, others may learn from your incident. Although I am sure that was not the first thing on your mind. I hope you heal soon. Regards Martin.

Hi guys, thank you for your kind thoughts about my recent incident. Have attached some photos of how the build was going. home made drum sander in action the drum sander the wonderful Byrnes sander where she stands at this moment, but i am not to happy with her, so may re-do it when hand back to normal. and of course the hand, severed the tendon on middle finger and nicked the other two(middle finger had micro surgery to fix it). Bet the surgeon would be good at doing the rigging on our models. All the best Martin.

Hi Ed, I am assuming that the figures would have been coloured originally (not a road you are going down ?). But I really like the contrasts of the woods. Regards Martin.

Hi Tony, I dont know if it will be of any help, but I have a Byrnes saw and the prices of blades from across the pond are as you know expensive. What I have done is obtained HSS Slitting blades from EBAY there seems to be a varied amount. I have purchased some 3" 1/64 kerf 150 tooth blades for less than £10.00 .There might be something that fits a Proxxon saw there. Hope it helps. Martin.

Hi folks, Cross section coming along, but have had an accident with my right hand (and yes of course I am right handed) sliced through three fingers. Two stitched back together, middle finger cut through tendon having operation tomorrow to sort it out. And before you ask it was not model related, I was helping a friend out. Will try and down load photos when I can, but left hand not the most dextrous in the world. Martin

Hi Ed, when you say "push drill" I am assuming it is an Arcamedies type drill ? and when you bolt the iron knees onto the ships timber I am again assuming that the fixing hole is smaller than the bolt size, and if so by how much ? Sorry if it is obvious to all but me Martin.
-
Hi Ed, one question, when you attach the iron knees do you use CA to fix them to the timber ? Thanks Martin.

ED Stunning work as usual, looking foreword to the next installment. Martin. p.s. and a happy New Year to you also (Part 114)

Hi Ian, Thank you, The Keel and Keelson are Steamed Pearwood and the False Keel is Walnut. The Pearwood was obtained from Timberline and the Walnut I think I obtained from Charnwood some time in the past. I also bought from Timberline at the same time a block of Lemonwood to do the frames in (Hopefully) Martin.

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.
