Hello Kevin, I am waiting with patience your updates on HMS Victory, clean and impeccable build. I have found your Log tardy, decided to follow it but unfortunately you have come to a stop... Speaking of Berlin, I will keep all ropes natural hemp color... I have learned that static ropes have to be dark color, brown or black and active ropes white or cream. But meanwhile I saw in some Corel's finished models showed via internet, all ropes in natural hemp color, that event has pleased and encouraged me to go with the natural hemp color. Black is only in metal work and glasses of the windows...

Hi Brian, thank you for the kind comment and the information... There are many techniques and manners I see at MSW. I became aware of them in course of time. (Many thanks to all...) Soldering is the top solution. If only I can... But I flee from it. If I should have enough information I have not any experience and don't know if I can handle it. Experience is as important as knowledge, I think. But I had a try with the tension, fortunately the glued dead eye with CA has remained very stable...

Thank you Randy, such nourishing words you say!... As I have no knowledge and experience about soldering I have used glue... I had to go on with the kit supply. I can suggest you to make the gap, namely the junction point in the part located under the rope...

Your kindness as always... Thank you Michael. These all parts were supplied by Corel, they aren't scratch unfortunately, if only I can... I have drawn how I had acted...

Thank you Sjors, I didn't use beeswax on the ropes... I think that I can burn the fuzz with snap fire... Bad idea...
-
Thank you Augie and Matti, Your nice comments are highly appreciated... They sound very good...

Hello Sjors, I had thought that you hadn't missed my post because of the comment above... Wow, you can answer without knowing even the question... You are a wise man... (What I see are the one on the forecastle, the other on the main deck...)

Thank you Jason for the suggestion... Good idea that I have never heard... That was registered... I can try it but I have starched the ropes already... They shouldn't absorb the Indian ink???

Hi Matti, You had got what you had wanted... Used surface looks natural... Congratulations...
-
Hi Juergen, You are right and have a very kind manner in your notice... I don't think that the shrouds were white... But I decided to left them as the kit had supplied... I think my decision is wrong but I don't want another effort to buy and replace the ropes, I am an obsessive man and sometimes this temper fatigues me and sometimes to break this temper makes me feel happy... that situation is one of them...

Thank you for the info Jason... I learned a lot of things at MSW but I am still at the beginning, a drop in the ocean...

US Brig Syren by Gahm - Model Shipways
Ferit replied to Gahm's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1801 - 1850
Your perfection is going on... -
Great work Jason, harmony in all as usual... May I ask a question? Under the forecastle deck there is the frontmost cannon. But is there enough height for the crew to fire it easily? Proportionally to the height of the forecastle deck on your model, which height has the original ship's? I asked this because I would like to learn the accuracy of the Caldercraft's plans. Thanks...

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.
