hollowneck got a reaction from thibaultron in Chris Watton and Vanguard Models news and updates Volume 2
For accurately-scaled belaying pins I can recommend the new 3D printed ones at Syren Ship Models. Chuck offers a couple sizes, the smallest (7mm) are perfect for 1:64. The pin's color is printed into the resin, no painting necessary. They will also take rope tension when belaying lines and not break.

hollowneck reacted to Chapman in Prince De Neufchatel Porthole Lids
A look at one of her original plans (as captured) clearly shows that she had entire lids that opened upwards.

Keith, do you mean gunport lids? If so I would think they would be part and parcel in case of heavy seas.

Enjoy your trip Chuck! Niagara on the Lake is really nice and western New York State is beautiful right now with all the fall colors. (assuming you are driving across NY)

Enjoy your much needed vacation. The Capstan Project is looking good so far and I eagerly await the opportunity to build one should you choose to release a tutorial.

hollowneck reacted to Chuck in Syren Ship Model Company News, Updates and Info.....(part 2)
Two things...
I realize my store was closed two weeks ago when I had the flu. That sucked. But unfortunately I have to close the store down again for a while. This time it is for a long planned road trip with my wife. We are leaving for Canada (Niagara on the Lake) with stop overs on the way there. A much needed break for the both of us. While there, I will be taking part in the Admiralty Workshop with David Antscherl on POF building techniques. So I will be closed until I return on the 19th. Sorry guys, it couldnt be helped.
Lastly...some pics of the latest on the Capstan Project. I will start a build log when I return. Its something different will really make a nice display. It will also make for a nice tutorial on 3D printing and laser cutting if everything goes to plan. You can see some of the designed resin parts in the photos. The columns, legs and central drum parts with pawls. The balance will be done with laser cut wood parts. You dont have to go black like I did but I just prefer this. The letters around the base were laser cut on special material with gold leaf letters on a black background. Most of the parts are not glued together yet and just test fit. Its all good so far!!!
