Thank you, John. Regarding your Redjacket build, 2 mm deadeyes and single blocks and 3mm double blocks are available. I know they are available from Cornwall Model Boats but I would think they are also available here in the States. The below shows they would work and from experience they can be rigged but you either need great eyesight or a good magnifier. 2mm at 1:192 = 15.12 inches. 3mm at 1:192 = 22.67 inches.

Derek, it might be easier giving it to some youngster in your neighborhood/area who has a interest in modeling. You could contact middle schools and see if they know a young boy or girl with interest in ship modeling. Just a thought.

Tom, thank you suggestions and I did note the file name. At some point I need to mess around with India ink. In this case of the roofing, I'm trying to represent tar paper not wood but I do like the wall. The roof is painted with very thin black acrylic paint wash repeated till I was happy with the results. I intentionally left areas without the third and fourth washes. When the roof had dried I thumb rubbed the surface pretty good. I think that did more for me mentally than what it did for the roof. Thank you, Ken. As I said to Tom above, I do need to get myself to the hobby store and pick up some India ink. I think India ink would have highlighted the individual vertical boards much better than black pastel. I'm still an infant when it comes to weathering techniques.

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.
