    Bob, welcome to MSW. Glad to have you aboard.

    Thank you, LJP. The video is must watch for those of us without a great deal of steam experience. I started a steam propulsion links topic and I think it would be great if you put that Scotch boiler catalog page there. Your Thistle build is great and I'm using it as guidance.

    You're more than welcome, Tom. Im pretty impressed with the young man and his knowledge, lots of valuable information therein.

    Thank you for the likes and comments. I wrestled with the images of the beam engine in my head all last night. In the end it wasn't stupid camera, it was stupid Keith. One has to remember I'm like a child with a new toy regarding powdered pastels, I have so much to learn. I over cooked the pastels and consequently hid most of the detail I tried so hard creating. So I took a moist paintbrush and removed most of the "grunge" leaving it primarily at the bottom and in the depressions. More highlighting than the unnatural covering I first applied. From the photos I see a couple of places I could rework a tad but even as is my mind is much more at ease tonight. This will be the last photos of the beam engine as a singular item, I've used up more than my share of bandwidth and I'm sure you folks are bored with images of a beam engine. Thank you to everyone for the support and for following along. Keith

    John, thank you but my first attempt at weathering proved to be too much. Photos shortly. Thank you, Paul. I very much look forward to the time when the three sit near each other. Yes, three, a piling barge needs to be built after Lula is finished. Thank you, Eric. Thank you, Keith. Yeah, that barrel is WAY too clean. Thank you, Kurt. The barrel needs the hoops and staves painted and looks of dirt added. I wish I were good enough to paint the word "lard" on the side.
  22. Keith Black
    No doubt!

    Wouldn't the Captains be giving commands to the helmsman to counter those forces,, Agent Mulder?

    Glen. congratulations on making the element an equal partner with the ships and for achieving your concept. As I said in an earlier post the Pearl is perfect and now the way she sits at the edge of the whirlpool is also perfect as she's being drawn in keel first. Top shelf stuff right there my friend.

    Thank you to all for your likes and for the thoughtful comments. The little beam engines is done except for the weathering needing to be tweaked a bit. The weathering is not this dark. I hate it when my camera and I aren't on the same page. This is the boiler side. The space between the beam engine and the boiler is going to be tight so this side would be darker but not this dark....stupid camera. This is the port side and I need to lighten this side up a smidge. I took a shot of Lula next to the pile driver for myself but I decided to show it to you folks because THIS is how dark the beam engine weathering really is. The barrel on the pile driver deck hasn't't been painted and I'm trying to decide if I like the barrel being there. Thank you for your interest and for following along on Lula's journey. Keith

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.
