    Another redodelidumtidumdo ...?

    I found my bandsaw (a Metabo, slightly larger too) following the grain of the wood when it needs to cut through thicker wood ( > 1" ), thus making a curved cut. Very annoying. Anybody encountered that on the Proxxon, and if so, found a solution?

    Elijah, In most builds, the deadeyes are left the colour the wood has, mostly a dark shade of brown. You could stain them, as that will penetrate the wood. painting will leave you with partly painted deadeyes, as mentioned above, the paint will be rubbed off when rigging

    Nice work, Kees. You'll be able te find your tools, materials, and move around. Looking forward to some updates at your leisure. Cheers

    As far as I know, a clean cut, depends on the densness of the wood, the sharpness and the type of the drill bit, and the speed of the drill. The harder the wood the easier it is to get a clean cut. Elijah do what feels right to you. It is a hobby, and you will learn, the more from your own mistakes unfortunately, as most of us have

    Mike, Looks very good. Luckily we all like a challenge ... else we would turn our hands at origami, or ikebana

    Robin, Nice work on those seat belt buckles. I have to keep that in mind. Thanks for the Cognac!!! I needed that after todays paint job. I should stick to modelling, uniquely! The stem planking looks very smooth, she is taking shape nicely

    One might wonder: What stands the cluttered desk for ... ??? Jesse, You are brilliant

    Seats look promising. Your last aproach seems to bear fruit A kitten to be handled with gloves ... wonder how she wants to be handledwhen she sees the water ...

    For the a frame I would sugest brass and silver soldering. Side rollers ...I wouldn't know what those look like
  12. cog
    Nice touch, Jack. She's becoming a little gem ... What are you soldering which gives you problems?

    Looks pretty sturdy, Nenad. Like the artistic curl on the handle. Did you have a try yet !? :D
  14. cog
    Depends largly on the type of drill you use. With some drills it just isn't possible
  15. cog
    Clever! My workspace, doesn't look much different ... it's what you're used to
  16. cog
    Quite right, Greg, but very educational I might add

    Ah, you want the greenish effect! Bronze doesn't get green easily, so copper would be a good choice, but not very easy either. I'll keep that in mind if I get to the other side of the low lands ... You must have some hughe arms, considering the number of bottles you've got :D

    You could make it from cast iron ... Tiny, tiny, tiny strong, strong, strong or resin ...

    Solid decision, Bob. Some really nice progress!!
  21. cog
    Well shaped, Nils. I thought I couldn't deprive you of that vital information
  22. cog
    Smooth looking mirror, Aydin

    Nice finish on the planking, Robin. I would have used brass to get a bronze look, as far as I know it is easier to do. Could you poor me a Hennessy, please Nice collection of airbrush paints ... how do you keep them from unmixing? Can't imagine you shaking your arms out ... Cheers

    Take a look here http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/sn/lascaux.jpg, I know your screen is off, but it gives a better impression if you need the natural look

    In the Aquitaine (Dordogne), near Lalinde, St Alvers you find red clay. That part, if I recall well even behind Sarlat, has a lot of iron in the soil. The red pigment has been used in the drawings in the caves of Font de Gaume at Les Eyzies. I've been at Lascaux, near Sarlat, which are now, unfortunately, closed to the public. Real stunning drawings ... the pigments are still available, it's just that we lost a lot of knowledge to use them

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.
