    Because I'm not in the habit of taking pictures during processing. Just so you know, I posed for a few pictures. I hope you understand. Of course, before processing tools and workpiece to cut precise positioning, this I think you should know it? But remember: this method is not suitable for metal parts processing

    Dowmer, thank you for your attention. Actually, you said the material was pear wood, but I chose a different part and a different natural color. I don't know if you have this kind of wood in your country? In China, it is often called "fruit tree pear wood. ". The surface is coated with a danish-made wood wax oil. Because it is bulk without any label, forget the specific model and brand. And less sticky, volatile and faster

    You got me all wrong, wefalck. Because many small parts, especially wooden parts, do not fit any metal fixture, one contact surface is too small and unstable, the other is also vulnerable to damage fragile parts. You don't have to make special tools, just use wood instead of pliers. Clamping the general requirements of the workpiece can be completely lower than the level of the jaw, milling cutter processing can be very deep! The block should be kept at the level of the jaws and should not exceed the level of the jaws!

    Hi Yankee Clipper.I've only got two of the three books so far, so I'm sorry I won't be able to finish the rope and mast. I also encountered the same confusion as you at first, but later found that you are missing the label drawings are actually in the CD, need to scan and print. Just very confused: These two unconventional drawings why not provide it together. You don't usually have a print-and-scan device this big. . .

    Maybe a lot of people see simple parts. But because many parts are small, milling is the main method to ensure accuracy, making the clamping process the most troublesome. I spent some time and material to make some special disposable device (wood) . This is easy to operate and prevents parts from being pinched. Some are hand-polished. Thank you for your attention.

    Rwiederrich, my idea is an attempt to see the interior from a different perspective without destroying the main structure. Thank you for the compliment.

    Wereverich, here's the thing. Your problems are our problems, too. It is very difficult to bend wood lengthwise, especially boards. If we are not careful, it will twist and break the shape we need. To be sure, the fixture is not only inefficient, but also difficult to achieve the final effect. After a lot of practice, I usually use the method of heating and carefully repeating after soaking in the water for a certain time. The advantage of this method is that I can get the shape and effect I need more quickly, and the fit is higher. Just need to master a certain skill and order, otherwise it is easy to scrap. Usually I make the fixture for this, is to meet the bending in place, the need to cut the line. Because before heating and bending, all carving line processing is futile.

    I'm very sorry, this process I did not shoot save. Because I don't think there's anything special about it. After processing by hand with a scraper, the same operation as for laying hull slats. It's just that the three-dimensional curve of the tail is really hard to bend.

    Yes, Greg. In order to adapt, I used two ways to bend scrap three to meet the requirements. It's a three-dimensional bend. The radius of the circle is too small. Especially stiffeners.

    Hello. It is very easy to make these pulleys, but because of the small size, you need to grind a special turning tool. The diameter of the pulleys is 3.5 mm and the thickness is 0.8 mm. It is easy to work on a lathe.

    Hi wefalck.Thank you for your suggestion, which provided me with a good idea. When machining the locating hole, I use the sine bench clamp to hold the workpiece and adjust it to the required angle to drill the hole. But the installation cost me a lot of time and material. The 0.35 mm brass wire was too soft and bent with a little effort. For me, bending was a waste. In fact, I should have switched to a slightly thicker 0.4 mm pin for better handling (made in Japan) and with a certain amount of tenacity and resistance to bending.

    Balustrade is the part I have redone many times, the highest scrap! I can't believe it took me four days. There was no welding or bonding because the rails were too thin, only 0.35 mm in diameter. For beauty and solidity, I used precision holes to insert a 0.9 mm diameter copper rod. Due to the irregular curvature of the staircase, 7 staircases were scrapped due to the wrong direction. I almost gave up and made it into wood, but wood can't be made too small.

    Thank you for your attention. Being“ efficient,、accurate 、different” has always been the standard for me.

    Moving forward. I am glad to be about to get into a pleasant outfitting process.

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.
