Have a look at HMS Belfast pictures, she's about the same period. Those ships do not have any clearly visble oilcanning, only the quick build from thin material US ships had that effect in WWII Have you thought about Mr Surfacer 500 in rattle can? saves spraying a lot of layers ...

You are at your usual leisurly pace. It seems I'm in the nick of time to get into the build! Your catapult looks real good. I wonder if you could have replaced all the PE with the spares you have laying around from previous builds ...

Straightening metal cast parts
cog replied to modeller_masa's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
Hope to see the result in your buildlog. Make a putty imprint from the part so you have a mould. Another option, come to think of it. Make a fitting mold, and cast the part(s) -

Since the parts are oversized, couldn't you cut it - where indicated on the image - and glue it to the frame. That way you will loose most of the space between the parts, and make it fit. -

Nice improvement Louie. Saw you were wearing the propper atire to pull on the hose. Wouldn't repositioning the columns in front of the benches give the rowers more rowing space. Pushing forward on the or requires more space for the or than pulling it backwards. Pulling your hands will not pass over your pelvis ... just reminiscing about my days as a roman galley slave

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.
