    Chuck: I was thinking about your comment on 1/4" plywood and where to find it. I have used Rockler and Woodcraft in the wood industry for modelers. Then there are the houses around that sell plywood for the scroll saw people, as I have delved into scroll saw work also. Just a suggestion. Cheers, Bill Palmer

    Nils, like so many others I'm very impressed with your build. I was wondering how you applied metal to the wooden hull? I'm very interested in how I might apply rivets to the hull of a pre WWII ship. Did you apply rivets or were they part of the metal panels applied? Hopefully, you might have ideas on how I might do this ......... without the use of metal panels? just very well done! Cheers, Bill Palmer

    Boxwood

    bp1535 replied to Stuntflyer's topic in Wood discussion

    From comments made by "Themadchemist" and also "Janos" I purchased European Boxwood from "Workshopheaven". Prior to their shipping, I received an e-mail from them stating: "A recent order to Australia was confiscated by the authorities in Australia and trashed. We will send your order if you will take the responsibility of it being trashed by the authorities." I told them to cancel the order, which they did. Have any of you, reading this, had trouble with the authorities on receiving European Boxwood? Thanks, Bill

    Chuck: Which method of planking are you referring. Do you know which post number you talk about your method, within your build? Thanks, Bill

    After my recent purchase of above through Greg, I quickly searched the forum for completed units. There aren't any?! I can't find anyone to have completed the cross section, much less the updates!!( most only finish a few steps) If any of you have other pictures showing further updates, maybe I can convince you to add those pictures. Maybe there are complete sections on other sites. It will be a while before I start( two months) but hopefully I will follow thru on the updates as well. I'm presently collecting additions to my modeling tools. I certainly will need help! Cheers, Bill Palmer - SMA, NRG

    Al .......... I'd like to ask you a few questions about 2D, 3D, DXF, PDQ, ABC and etc, etc. But I don't think it appropriate on you Triton log? We should pick a "Slot" for such. Someone tell me where and I'll go right there and start asking .......... That is, .... If you don't mind? Cheers, Bill Palmer ---member SMA and NRG

    Doris I have sent you a PM about making flags. This is Just to let you know. Bill Palmer

    Maybe I should start another thread ----- but ------ I have Sketchup7 and would like to learn to use this for making 2D plans? Specially in regards to the subject ship "Leon". Does anyone know how to use Sketchup??!! Cheers, Bill
  24. bp1535
    I want to thank everyone for the continued discussion on Underhill"s "Leon". I have both of his books on the subject but would not want to try enlarging the plans at the back of the book for building such. Hopefully I will still hear from 'jack nasty face (Keith) and find he has gone through the drawing of the plans. Cheers to All, Bill Palmer
  25. bp1535
    Thanks Russ for the info. I was wondering if Keith (Nastyface) would have redrawn the plans. I don't know how to contact him, maybe someone could come to my "rescue"!? Cheers, Bill Palmer --------- bp1535@mac.com
  26. bp1535
    Thank you davyboy. Hopefully Keith will spend the time to re-enter his log. ----------- I hope!!--------- I will try and ask him whose plans he used. Cheers, Bill
  27. bp1535
    Before the current change, a modeler placed his build of the "Leon" in MSW. I can't remember who that person was and am hoping he will again restore the build.?? Does anyone have the plans for Leon, I'm interested in building it myself. Cheers, Bill Palmer ------- bp1535@mac.com

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.
