Welcome to MSW, and good luck with the first model 👍
-
This is one of the reasons why i use polystyrene The plank for the belaying pins should definitely be wider. Otherwise, you will run into problems with the rigging

My idea, Probably an original winch is not made of one piece, but from different pieces of wood. And is this misunderstood by the builder of the model, and therefore it has grooves There are also no square holes in the winch?? the ratchet is ridiculously weak : indeed Added the winch of the replica yacht Duyfken And a winch on a drawing (also with "grooves")

Hello and
-
Nice stories about hot barrels. My only experience with a "hot" barrel Fired 40 rounds 8 x 57 in a short time with my K98. The barrel became hot, so that through the warm air above the barrel my target (paper card) seemed to "float" Warm oil dripped out of the wood And my shoulder was stiff the next day...🤕

I normally use gun metal. With here and there some pencil to get more detail. Matte black and then going over with pencil is also pretty good. Best is to practice first on some leftovers. There is an easy method to drill out the barrel. With a sharply pointed x acto knife. But pictures will tell more than my google english (is for later) Look in my signature at the ADGZ funkwagen.

The colors that Keith S uses are beautiful. I once experimented with silver paint on the inside. Don't do this, not a good solution.

I have an Einhell And am quite satisfied, saw all the wood for my Pelicane with it. The rough work and the accurate work.

Thaks for the nice comments. Making this figurehead was so much fun that I finished it first. First an idea of what i should become Wings in pencil Wings carved feathers carved and start loosening the piece of wood Need plastic surgery (CA glue) carving ready a base coat of white painting in progress painting ready and dry fitted used tools and paint the figurehead is not yet glued on. There is still too much chance to damage it during the further build Thanks for folowing, likes and comments

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.
