    This is my diy lathe setup: the centre in the last two images can turn

    Why do you always make me run after you!?!?!? What a wonderful build, Piet. Up to your usual creativity I might add ...

    hear, hear fortunately, this work of art is not a mere model, but amongst others lessons in patience, and creativity ...

    What I can see from The Statenjacht Utrecht by Ab Hoving, on the railing, but wait for our expert's answer
  5. cog
    Exactly ... Druxey ... piece of cake for Gaetan
  6. cog
    Nice work Scott
  7. cog
    Il ne faut pas exagérer, chèr Gaetan That's exactly what I meant. So the projection will work, but only when you comply with certain requirements. Mark, that would be a nice precision tool for it

    OC I use a lighter to declog the revel glue, if yours has the metal nozzle you can try it. You need to take care with the flame though

    So still hope for me ... (56)

    Gaetan, I think you will be better at it than I (English), else you may polish my French. I think it is feasible, but not with a projector. I have something brewing but I will probably need to make a drawing to get it explained. The quick version: You would need a spot light to set the points on the hull. If you have a drawing of the scale model in 2D in front of the model, and you have pierced the line of the deck, and e.g. the corners of the gun ports, you could set the exact corresponding points on the hull when you place a spot light at 90º angle to the keel at the level center of the pierced spot. {edit] so you get a narrow beam from the pierced hole to the corresponding point on the hull.[end edit] Does that make any sense to you?

    Thanks for the language lesson, the advantage of not being a native English speaker is that I can make mistakes, although, I try not to I agree with the bow part being the hard one to solve. Is it possible to transfer a 2D rendered image to a 3D projection?

    As Mark wrote: Interesting method. If you project an image through a beamer on a straight surface, you will be able to trace the lines without a problem. However, if you project on a slanted or curved object, you wll get distortion either in the vertical, horizontal or both. When I look at your gun ports, those may not be subject to the distortion, or minimalistic considering their size, but the lines from stem to stern are definitely, so the place ment of the ports may/will probably be off, as will the run of the deck, etc where there is a curvature/slant of the hull

    Took you long enough!!! Congratss to you and the future missus
  14. cog
    As far as I can see, you seem to have overcome that mast glueing problem ... interesting jig. The result is looking mighty fine

    She does have a bit of a "clipper" -ish hull, very nice lines. The make-up makes her shine. I like the hinged cradle idea ...
  16. cog
    Turned out really well, Daria.
  17. cog
    Don't think those will fit your build though, neither will it bear the weight of those monsters
  18. cog
    she looks like she can "bite" your head off. enough teeth to do so. Still more guns to come?
  19. cog
    Nice coverage Russ. What's the width of those planks?
  20. cog
    Well worth the wait, Mick. Will be patient for the next one ...
  21. cog
    Johan, Each time you make a new part it seems to be better than all the previous parts. You have done it again, another exceptional, and beautful piece of mastercraft and artistry
  22. cog
    Don't bother 'bout the fancy methods from others Mark. I would be thrilled to bits to get it as spiffy as you did. A real good looking piece of brass engineering ...
  23. cog
    Nah, but that's probably because I do not know the song, besides ... isn't it a pitty such a marvelous ship has been sunk, just like Yamato and a lot of other magnificent ships... Scott, Lovely job on the railings. I like the shading you have applied a lot ... would have expected a brass ship's bell though ...
  24. cog
    A jig or a reel ... Thanks Pat, that clearifies a lot. Maybe I should have bought that English Oxford dictionairy 30 odd years ago ... or not(?). It seems double Dutch isn't the only dubious language ...
  25. cog
    Ah admirals ... if you don't give it they'll take it, or force it upon you as in this case 1:43 ... that's rather precise, you must be having the shakes by now ... are you certain you will get those railings on straight ... " It's a gluey mess! I think I glued my arm to my workbench by mistake. " Better tha havin the Bismarck attached ... at least you won't go far, and the chance of getting lost is quite small ... Scot,t Take care of that flu, and the missus Cheers

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.
