Captian Eddy by petehay
petehay replied to petehay's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1901 - Present Day
My attempt at a ship's wheel for the flying bridge. Made with an O-ring, some straight pins and some beads for the handles. It's 3' in diameter from tip of handle to tip of opposite handle at 1:48th scale. My old hands don't have the dexterity to go much smaller. -

Alan, It looks like issue 16 is not available to non-members yet. I will keep an eye out. Thanks Pete -

My next step will be figuring out how to create the ship wheels from scratch at 1/48th scale. Any suggestions? -

@FlyingFish…and there would also be a wheel in the “wheelhouse”? BTW - the detail on the Orca is absolutely amazing. -

My next question regards the structure(?) on the wheelhouse roof.as shown below: These plans are based upon a fictional lobster boat from the comic strip "Non Sequitur" by Wiley Miller. In the images below there is a shop's wheel up there. Is this correct or is it artistic license? (I hope I'm not breaking any copyright rules here) -

First I want to thank Chris Coyle for his help in moving my previous posts in the "Ship Plans & Project Discussions" forum to this build log. Below are the photos of my progress thus far. -

Can I move or copy a thread (that I started) from one forum to another?

Thanks Bob. Odd thing is I took and uploaded the previous images using the iPhone. I’ll convert them to jpg after dinner and reupload -

Thanks for the kind words Roger. I’ll continue to take pictures and if things go well, I will put together a build log. Pete -

Decided to try scratch building the “Captain Eddy” from the plans seen in this topic thread. Got the keel and the bulkheads drawn at 1:48th scale and have started cutting out the pieces from bass wood. -
I logged in and the links to the last pics disappeared. I can look to see if I still have them on an old iPad.

Here is my build:

When I finally built this I soaked the wood in isopropyl alcohol and taped them to a form. Worked very well, especially on the ribs.

What did you use to simulate the tree nails? Pete in Portland

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.
