1492 got a reaction from Baker in Sails - I once saw a tutorial...
Thanks, but that's not the one.
I have seen the tutorial you linked to, actually I have it printed out and refer to it sometimes.
Oh well, I'll keep looking for it.

1492 got a reaction from mtaylor in USS Maine by Haze Gray - 1/72 scale - RADIO - 3D printed
As modelmakers we're permitted to Simulate the real thing aren't we? So simulating a hole doesn't have to sink a model. RC Model ships have been sinking and rising for decades now in pond battles. aren't you don't know that- JEEEEZ!!!!

There's a nice model of the USS Maine in the Naval Museum in Madrid with a nice write up of how the Maine is 'Remembered' in Spain.
Naval Museum Madrid
If you're not sure what I mean then read here.
I wonder if you will show your model with the hole in its side demonstrating how the explosion was from the inside-out.
Seems nothing has changed in 120 years.

1492 reacted to Peter Bloemendaal in US Brig Syren by Peter Bloemendaal - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:64
Some more photo's. I wasn't happy with the location and look of the inboard hawse holes so I added some guides to give them a more 'even' impression. I decided to paint them red. Looking at other logs, maybe keeping them the same colour as the deck may have been a better choice. Shaping these using a scalpel only was a bit of a challenge but fun to do. I don't think they ended up too bad (you can be honest if they do, to deconstruct and re making them is still an option...).
I also added the 2 12 pounder long guns and the bumpkins and started in earnest with making the blocks and hooks for the gun tackles. To avoid going crazy (the sort of crazy where you have long conversations with your dogs and ask them to help you look for blocks), I'll probably mix this up by making a start with some deck fittings as well.

1492 reacted to Osmosis in Hobby Zone Organizers and Ship Building Slip
Well I finally managed to finish the building slip. I shortened the base to 32" inches which means the largest keel I can mount is 27". That is the distance between the clamps when moved all the way out. It fits much better on my work bench at this length. I also replaced all the kit steel hex head hardware with stainless button head screws.
I will take it for a test drive on my Bluenose build, hopefully beginning later this week and let you know how it works.

1492 got a reaction from BETAQDAVE in How to chisel a solid hull boat
Hi Chuck, as a woodworker in another life my advise is to get your chisels 'scary' sharp and pare down on the work as you sneak up to the line you have marked by grasping the chisel very close to the tip (but keep a safe distance back)- this gives you the best control possible.. Don't hammer the work piece and just sneak up slowly rather than trying to remove large chunks quickly.

1492 got a reaction from Eddie in Wood Suppliers in Australia
I thought I'd start this topic for places to get wood for our Australian members.
The one I have used previously is Trend Timbers. They have a great selection of many different local, imported and exotic timbers. Their staff is very helpful even though I felt I may have been wasting their time with my minor needs.

1492 reacted to Tallshiptragic in Sovereign of the Seas by Tallshiptragic - Sergal - 1/78
Flew in last night for my week rnr and came home to a lovely present from my girlfriend! It's a framed colour print of a cutout of the Dutch passenger ship Willem Ruys, and it's an original from 1947!
This is the ship that took my father and his family from the then Dutch East Indies back to holland in 1950. It was also a ship my father worked on as a signals officer in 1957-58! This ship would then become the Achille Lauro for Lauro line and was the first ship I sailed on a voyage in 1987 haha so this ship means a great deal to me. I do have the plans for her in the hope of building her one day.
