Good results are yielded by the solder containing 40% of silver. -

Furled , unfurled or no sails -Preference
Garward replied to Canada Steve's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
If to speak about the curtailed sails, it is worth looking here at this model: Model of the Linear ship "Panteleymon-Vyctoria" Alexey Baranov http://www.shipmodels.com.ua/eng/models/elite/panteleymon_victoria/index.htm -

Hello, Chuck! I am the law-abiding participant of a forum, I observe its rules and I make many efforts for detailed restoration of a forum to former level (for what I was thanked repeatedly by its participants). For this purpose I possess sufficient resources in the form of archives of my messages on MSW. It is known that rules of a forum of MSW 2.0 don't limit the minimum quantity of a photo in one message. I well understand the reasons yours concerns in connection with number of my messages and I thank for the offered help. About it I already communicated with moderators of Mark (mtaylor) and Dan Vadas and explained them the reasons for which I publish on one photo in the message therefore I won't repeat. I want to note the same that the photos published by me with one number, but in different scales, aren't duplicates, have informative character and serve the best viewing of a general view and details and understanding of a published material (for what also I was thanked by participants of a forum). In this plan I am surprised extremely by removal of my more than 300 (!) messages by you is that, all duplicates? Along with "duplicates" many photos which aren't falling in any way under this classification (for example, various photos of the Spanish galleon are removed from the NMM archive, published in my report on SF II) also. I understand your aspiration to optimization of work of a forum. I want to pay in this occasion your attention to the following. Rules of a forum didn't limit quantity and the maintenance of posts on discussion of published materials. It often leads to the publication of the posts which don't have a direct bearing on published materials (simply - to chatter not on a subject). It leads to an overload of subjects and decrease in informational content of publications. In some subjects it is necessary to read some pages of similar messages to understand that the material published some pages back is discussed. Personal contact very important and promotes strengthening of friendship, but for this purpose specially there are personal messages. As the participant of many international model forums I want to tell that on them also there are similar problems, but also certain restrictions on scope of discussions and publications work. I don't try to advise at all to you something, you the administrator of this forum and you make the decision, I only expressed the opinion.

Classics of a genre, the picture from NMM: Spanish galleon, 1588. http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections.html#!csearch;authority=subject-90308;collectionReference=subject-90308 Model description Title Warship (1588); Galleon; Spanish Object details: Object ID SLR0359 Description Scale: 1:96. A full hull model of a Spanish galleon (circa 1588). Built in the solid and plank on frame. Model is decked, equipped and fully rigged, including details such as a pair of anchors, deck gratings, flags, decoration around the stern and bulwarks, and a number of scale figures in the rigging and on deck. This model and the English equivalent (SLR0358) have been built from a design by David White, formerly of the NMM, based upon contemporary evidence and known naval architectural design. By comparison, the Spanish ships were much higher and rounded in the midship section. Spain did not possess a permanent force of sailing warships in the Atlantic before the 1570s. Twelve royal galleons built between 1568 and 1570 were deemed to small for fighting ships, and the three building programmes between 1578 and 1591 aimed to produce large ships that could carry a great deal of sail, many guns and would be able to overcome their opponents. This model represents one of the new, large galleons of the Armada period. Date made 1988 ________________________________________ Artist/Maker James Lees, James Wride, Philip Place made Stoke Fleming, Devon, England; Luton,Chatham,Kent Credit National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London Materials brass; cotton; gilt; paint; perspex; plastic; varnish; wood
