Why do things easy when you can make it complicated ... So you revert the changes and slide it in the bottle, or keep the elaborate rigging and look for a sublime solution ... As I do not know the specifics of the problem, I cannot - unfortunately - make my limited brain capacity available to you ... Hope things work out though

If I may suggest a little dusting of your lens ... (just pullin' your leg) I would have said the wheel looked somewhat big, but you beat me to it. Course panneling should be good, after all, it is a working vessel, and the planks aren't much wider than the wheel's outer ring (don't know the name of that part) ...

Thanks Pat, your comments, suggestions are always much apreciated. A pipe stand ... Well, I have to admit, it does offer some worthwhile perspective ... Would you have a certain wood species in mind ... American Walnut, Oak, Cherry, Pear ... I am, though, still looking for the mouth piece, and the bowl to put the tobacco in ... I wouldn;'t want to put it in the stand upside down ...

Some putty might come in handy ... or the nearest equivalent in epoxy filler ... You will need it with plastic kits anyway ... good reason to buy it if you d not have it ... I love it when I need new materials ot tools ...

"Cigar case? " Thought about it, but it's rather hard to look through ... besides, it doesn't fit the material, if it was a wooden model, I would try and go for it ... thanks for the suggestion though ...

When I look at what you have achieved for details on your past builds, you'll manage fine, maybe not a walk in the park, but what do you expect when you're building a model ... Looking forward to the end result of this subbuild

Nice spray station Scott. You've got quite a steady hand with the brush! I like the fantasy lathe ... old motor as far as I can see, not made any more nowadays
-
He's right Scott. For my Musashi I've got the Pontos, and the Flyt Hawk detail up sets, besides that I've got a few sets of railing stanchions (7 brass and metal colour), perforated gussets & support beams, water tight doors, epoxy anchors for IJN ships ... I hope to use them on other ships aswell ... that's for my first plastic /PE build. Currently distracted by a dutch sub, and I used some of the stanchions for it. Besides the PE, the tools, the paint (airbrushes/compressor/cleaning utensils/etc), I've got brass rods, sheet, and styrene rods e.a. Let me put it this way: It is not for the faint hearted. However, it is fun and the support and motivation is awesome

I'm working, a.o. on a 1:350 Dutch sub, and some PE got loose - a wee bit clumsy handling - I had sprayed the cigar, and could still use CA to attach the "ripped off" part. I use CA from BSI INSTA-CURE (thin) and INSTA-CURE+ (medium/gap filling). So far I can't complain, but for the fact that it is somewhat hard to get here in the Netherlands, I have to get it from the UK P.s. what I suspect is that paint which hasn't cured, or doesn't bond well to the surface to which it is applied, will cause the glued part to fall off, something likeglueing on a dirty surface ...

Despite the set backs(?) - learning moments - you have created a beautiful bireme. She deserves to be displayed in such a wonderful case. Besides an inspirational build, it was fun to follow, and I picked up some knowledge (which I'll probably will forget again with my memory leak). Cheers

Aye, Piet. Thanks for visiting. 't-was about time I did something else with PE I didn't have so much PE problems as that I found it to course. besides I have so much spares I could replace it with, in my eyes, better suited parts. My periscopes are brass, with a brass ring and a dot of CA on top. I see enough battle grey ... I craved for a wee bit a colour, so that colour selection was easy. The bottom is a mixture of red (clear) and IJN hull red. On the picture you could see it as darkened copper. It'll probably be different once I put the clear layer on top of it. First the conning tower and rigging. 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.
