Filler for Natural Wood?
DenPink replied to mikiek's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Mark is correct, if you can save your sanding dust and do what Mark said you will be Ok. If you did not save the dust, just get some off cuts from the planking you used, hold the plank over a bowl and sand it down the dust will just fall into the bowl. Hope that helps you. Denis. -

Cutty Sark by NenadM
DenPink replied to NenadM's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Hi my friend I did not want this log to turn into a dog caring log so I am so sorry. My wife and I have seen people back in the UK and in NZ fall in love with big hairy dogs and think they want one. The only thing is what they don't understand is how many hours a day week after week it takes them to get the coat of the dogs up to what it is when they see it. After a year or so the UK OES club had to rescued so many dogs you would not believe, when they asked the owners why are they giving up on the dog they said it is to much like hard work. That is why I had to give you some warnings at the end of my message, after all dogs feel pain also but they don't show it. I am very pleased that you have done some reading on the bread. I am also pleased she will live in your house. Give her the love and attention she needs and she will give it back 100% more. Again sorry to hi-jack your log but dogs are so important in our lives.

Cutty Sark by NenadM
DenPink replied to NenadM's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Hi Nenad Nice OES (Bob tail). Captain Steve is correct clapping your hands will make her stop then lead her out side then when she has done what she wants to do tell her she is a good girl. Dogs have a short attention span, if you tell her off after she has done her thing in the wrong place she will not know why you are telling her off. As for rubbing her nose in it that is a load of rubbish. If I was you I would start to brush her coat once a day just for 2-3 min this will get her use to the brush. When she gets older she will grow an undercoat, only comb that once every 2 months or so, the top coat will need combing and brushing every other day and that will take you hours to do. If you don't brush her coat out you will be in big trouble later, knots start to form on the top coat and trying to get them out is very hard and painful for the dog. If you think you cannot spend time with this sort of dog then you have the wrong dog for you, they are a lot of hard work. I had 3 OES dogs so I think I know a thing or two about them.

Hi OC Nice camera. I have just purchased a new one myself, Canon 7D Mark ii with a EF 100mm f2.8 L Macro IS USM lens. The only thing is cannot download the photos to my computer, it will start but then it stops about half way through, and that is using the Canon software that came with it.. The comp has 8gb ram and still got 680gb space left on the hard drive. Denis.

What to use for Minwax cleanup?
DenPink replied to a topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Hi Soap and water will not clean spirit based stains or paint by its self, you will have to wash the brush in mineral turps first then soap and water. What happens is the turps breaks down the spirit stain or paint and the soap breaks down the turps, wash the brush in clean water, dry it off with a paper towel then put a small amount of soap on and run it through your fingers to keep the shape, let it dry. When you wish to use it again just wash it in water and dry it off with a paper towel. I always have two sets, one for spirit paints and stains and another set for water based paints. Denis. -
Hi Vince Nice rigging on the cannons. Did you pre measure each rope for every cannon or just do them by eye one by one. Denis.

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.
