    Can't you paint some 'sheet' rubber in the color you need or hard plastic cut to size.Since the vinil should probably be reasonably smooth ...

    Knowing you, you'll experience it as a hughe blemish on your pristine work. You'll be sanding and spraying it all over again. You'll even get new paint to do it. I might be wrong, it just may be that I might be wrong ...

    I would say that learning here is mainly trying to understand what's goin' on (and how) and if you're lucky: If applicable apply to your own (future) build(s).

    Jim, 1/ The centre has built-in bearings, it is as we call it a self revolving centre. At first I only used the centre, but changed it later to a chuck for versatility. 2/ The drill chuck I mounted fixed, however, if you want it to rotate, you'll need a bearing, whichyou can take out of an old broken drill if you've got one of those ... and radial would do. It is only a spinning action it needs to perform and the pressure won't be more than the weight of the chuck and centre (or other insert) If you want more pictures, just ask ...

    Auch!!! Take care. It is strange, however often you check, and check again, there's always something you forget to check. Frustrating!

    You could add a layer of clear satin or mat paint (diluted ...) to get rid of the shine. Another option is to use cloth, e.g. cotton - you can get that in any thickness and color

    Jim, I made a DIY lathe kind a jigg from a drill and a drill head and lathe centre. In the image you see only the centre, but later I added the drill head so I could change the tool at the opposite side of the drill maybe something to use s reference material ...

    I'm glad you kept the colours rural: John Deer and Paprika (do paprika grow below the surface?!?), it really makes one feel at sea ... As usual Gwen, as an Admiral, is right

    I wouldn't call 800 kg not much ... I know pastry is cut with water didn't know about brass. Looks great though.

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.
