real ship photo thread?
Chuck replied to hamilton's topic in How to use the MSW forum - **NO MODELING CONTENT**
Same situation as you might guess!!! After we found hundreds and hundreds more all posted by the same member mostly. He had found another site that a photographer owned and who had hundreds of pics all copyrighted. The MSW member didnt care and just kept posting after numerous warnings from our staff. We finally had to let that guy go…no reasoning with some folks. rather than spend a week sifting through pages of posts and deleting just the copyright images it was just easier to delete the entire topic. -

We actually had one but folks didnt take copyright seriously. They just copy pasted from all over the web. And we got caught. I guy whose pics were lifted and posted here caused us some serious heartache. He wanted $$$….and threatened with lawyers. Of course we removed them the moment we were notified but that didnt stop the guy. Finally I told him to go after the member who posted them… That we werent responsible. So that was that. But it was dicey for a while. -
Motored Syren Rope Rocket (Modification)
Chuck replied to modeller_masa's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I dont see why not. It will be interesting to see how it works in actuality. -
That is some fine rope...well done. Its easy once you get into a routine. I have about 50 packages of rope to make today as well...about 1200 feet....I better get to it!!!
-
You could be twisting too much.....all four strands together. You probably need more initial twisting of individual strands. I would suggest a three strand rope for that size as well. No need to water poly rope....it wont do anything. That is just for cotton or natural fibers.

To the keel…its just easier.

Happy New Year everyone!!! I shall be back working on the Speedwell prototype really soon. Hopefully this week in fact. But I wanted to update you guys on the release of the first installments for sale. I had hoped to have launched the first chapters of parts by mid January. But because of the Movie and my wood supply with Joes shop being flooded, I havent had enough wood or time to complete all the laser work yet. I actually have the first ten sets of chapter one parts ready to go. I could place them on my site right now for sale which include the plans for the hull framing. Two sheets. I have also written and posted the first chapter of the monograph on the online store. But I had hoped to have the first two chapters ready and laser cut before I started offering them. This way you guys can order both chapters at once which complete all the hull framing and can save on shipping costs. That is still my plan and hopefully I can get the needed wood to start cutting chapter two parts within a week or so. I dont anticipate too much of a delay. In the meantime, those of you who have decided to build my kit of Speedwell can download the first chapter and read it over. You can also buy whatever wood and tools you might need ahead of time as well. For example the board for the buildboard and maybe some machinist squares etc. I will announce when the first two chapters of parts are listed for sale as son as finish some chapter two parts. Maybe I will only wait to have five finished of the original ten sets as I know many of you have been emailing me that you are eager to get started. More to follow soon.

HM Cutter Cheerful 1806 by JpR62 - 1:48 scale

Laser cutting services?
Chuck replied to Jsk's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
Its crazy expensive but yes. For example, National balsa....Ponoko....Hammerspace...... offers laser cutting services. The issue is the material you want to use. Most only have and offer the basics (basswood, plywood....maybe cherry and and some others) and in a very limited range of thicknesses. Prepare to pay around $1.50 - $2.50 per minute of laser time plus materials and up front costs. Considering that one sheet of parts could take 12 to 18 minutes to cut depending on the size and complexity. You can also search laser cutting services on Etsy and you will find a large number of people. I have no idea how good they are, but it is crazy expensive for one-off runs. Chuck -

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.
