    Mark, You have your work layed out for you ... again ... Like the ebony contrast you are going to use.

    longer hinges so it comes off the deck!!! That's it. Some lovely pictures Piet. They are large suckers those firecrackers... You just realise how big they are when you see someone standing along side it. These mines will give a nice pop exploding ...

    Piet, The way you want you hinges to work is impossible, because you would force the lower part of the lid into the deck. You could, however, mount the hinges nearly flush with the deck, slightly protruding at the top. Made a little drawing to enlighten my text ...

    The robbins here don't have it even half as hard as you over there. No snow shov'lin' mate. I merely push the rain to the side Nice work on the door, though I would have expected one which opens to the outside ... On the other hand, John has gotta point too ... Difficult all those dillemas ... Mind bogglin' if not kripp'lin'. Ah well, these kind-a probs are in good 'ands!

    Piet, Go to your profile and look at your current signature. Just add this build log in the same way ... Often it can be done by just symply copy/paste actions. Probably best get the internet address (link) first, and then alter your dashing signature Tie a yellow ribbon .................

    You've done some wounderful work on that traveller
  16. cog
    I polished the edge of my chisels with a sharpening stone for skates ... It has two sides: One for sharpening and the other one very fine for polishing. Use the stone to sharpen my kitchen knives too ... Does that tell something about me ...??? I sharpen the chisels on a rotating sharpening stone (machine), and finish it off by hand. You have to watch out giving too much pressure on the wood, as you may end up with a wobbly yard in your case. The flexibility and thickness of the piece you are turning needs to be considered. The thinner the easier it will bend. You could tackle very thin pieces with sandpaper ... You just loop it around the wood ... N.b. A course grid will leave you with wounderful grooves

    I rest my case ...

    Soon we'll start a 'model cooking forum'

    Would expect to be sufficient, i.e. 3 days drying ... Still, if it's cold and/or humid it could take a while, quality of the paint can play a major factor ... I've had a laquer which took 4 days to dry ... couldn't find the reason why though ...
  23. cog
    slowly but surely. looking good Cristiano!!!
  24. cog

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.
