I know, Eric, but it would explain e.g. missing longitudinal hogchains as rigidity would be established through the braces ...

Thanks Lou, you come up with that after I ordered my replacement bottles!!! I'll look into that for my next order. I have to order from the UK as BSI is not sold here

We are nicely talking about hogchains, but did you consider diagonal bracing? Adam Kane The Western River Steamboat pg 110 ...

I tried it on plastic, which stuck, but it seems it has suddenly a dislike for brass ... No retarder, no time to shop. I'll try another brand

Marvelous work on the guns. How far did you drill out the spues, or have you switch to some kind of plast/styrene tube? I would go for the styrene tubes fro Evergreen, quick and simple - easy to say when you have a stack of styrene laying around like me

When I read your initial post on the hog chains, I thought it would be as Kurt answered: Before and aft of the paddle wheels. However I thought it strange not to use the transversal hogchains, as the hull would warp when being loaded. Reading Kurts posts, I now do wonder why only one longitudinal hogchain would be used, as that would probably cause transverse warping again. Crossed hogchains would in fact be logical for a boat carrying heavy cargo, and if the beam extends a certain width, I would expect mulitple longitudinal hog chains as well. (Just a thought to make things slightly more complicated)

that is inches right ... so that would be 0.05mm, can't imagine you drilling at that size, haven't found any either, smallest I've got is 0.2mm. To be honest, if I were building a RC I would plug the holes, but that's me. You do what you think will work for you. Are those transferable!? Nice work on the walkers, converting to cruise ship?

Thanks for the likes lady and gents (better watch them claws!) Jo, you can get the pat ... this what you meant? but sorry No milk today my kat is gone away The bottle stands forlorn a symbol of the dawn No milk today it seems a common sight But people passing by don't know the reason why ... Presently I am struggling with CA. It doesn't want to set ... bought some new tubes, same missery ... now I can't rig the masts as the yard on the aft tripod came off. Buggah!

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.
