Mobbsie, If I can remember to pack it, I'll bring you some extra Tulle next week - you might be able to pass some on to Kevin (I've no idea of the distance between you, but I'm sure the Royal Mail could help). As for your catheads sheaves, given your lack of tools, I can only suggest drilling a series of holes (carefully aligned), and then clean up the slots using an Exacto blade (you can get "chisel" blades for the Exacto, in two sizes if memory serves me correctly). Two sleeps to go..........

Hope the new meds do the trick for you Sjors. I caution resisting the urge to attempt rigging while under the influence of pharmaceuticals - although WE might enjoy the results, I'm sure you won't!!! Get well soon my friend.

Didn't you say you'd already retired three times? Hmmmmmmm............. They say a change is as good as a holiday, so best wishes for success with your Change. Personally, I'm opting for Holiday - five weeks, starting tomorrow!

Wow Mobbsie! I've no idea about accuracy, but I love what you've done with the decorations. The splash of colour really adds life to the model. I'll look forward to a closer personal inspection in a couple of weeks time.

Making a Nameplate
gjdale replied to rodgerdodger's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
Excellent tip Roger. Thanks for sharing your technique. -
Thanks Lawrence, Mark (again), B.E., and Keith. Mark - while a Chuckie franchise might sound attractive, the slave labour margins put this out of the question. Besides, I don't think I'm yet able to meet Chuck's QC requirements! And Keith, yes - doubles / triples are on the agenda. Stay tuned ....... Had planned more work in the shipyard this weekend, but instead spent most of the time doing preps for our big O/S trip. We fly out a week tomorrow. Somehow I don't think there will be any more progress until we return at the end of September. I'll still keep checking in with your various builds, but my own shipyard will now lie dormant for a few weeks.

Congratulations Rusty. Excellent work all round and a finished model to be proud of! Looking forward to following your other projects through too - don't let that work caper steal too much of your time!

Was it that pesky Moose again Augie? Glad to hear it was nothing serious. Take your time recovering - you don't want to end up back there in a hurry! I'm surprised you-know-who isn't demanding pictures from the hospital though! :P

Intro to Card Models Part VIII: Building V108 - Miscellaneous Bits
gjdale replied to ccoyle's topic in Card and Paper Models
Just fabulous Chris. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to post this excellent tutorial. -
Sjors, Hope the colour coded template works for you (once you have your arms out of the plaster casts, the bandages off your head, and can see out of your eyes again that is).

Great work Mobbsie. Love the hammock netting

Nicely done Clare. My wife describes the Lathe (and Mill for that matter) as "an Accessory sport" Fortunately for me, she is also very indulgent of my addiction!

Thanks Brian, Yes, they all received three minutes in each of the 120 and 400 grits, followed by five minutes in the 600 grit. These were the tumblers I made and posted about a couple of months back. They work really well and as you can see produce a very nice finish.

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.
