Hi guys and ladies I'm still on the furniture stage on the deck of my amati adventure but this will be finished in a couple of weeks. I was wondering of ways to taper the masts , I've considering buying a lathe but i am looking at other ways., as the one i want is about $ 400. Has anyone got a way of tapering masts mine are about 600mm long and 8mm wide .

Thanks paul , maybe i try another intermediate ship with more detail but still around that 800mm. Long Thanks again the big one might come after that as the adventure is my first ship and I've still got the rigging yet.

That's. Excellent. Now i know what size everything else should be . thanks -
Get a book called ship modelling simplified by frank mastini . It helped me heaps to the waterline mark the front of the ship then the back even if they are different heights make the marking jig and adjust the height of the ship as needed .i made mine in half hour its in the picture hope this helps.put felt on the bottom so it slides and just run the marker around the hull, the wingnut is so it's adjustable to height needed.

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.
