    Or do you prefer it in Delft blue, if it's a boy?
  3. cog
    Well done Pat

    If you use a rod to bend it around this requires far less accurate bending in the beginning. The importance is to have a rod slightly undersized, so you can get the ends meet flat-ish

    I know you are, you've made that perfectly clear in that log ... abundantly!

    If this is pre-planning ... I'll take up hibernating for prolongued periods

    Stil having back issues ... hence the stand still in all logs

    at the top of the page press the down arrow besides your avatar. Select 'account settings" which opens a new page, select "signature" In the text input box type "Current build" with the link tool you can add a link. save the signature. Go to the first page of the build log which is your current build.. Copy the text in the address bar. Go back to edit your signature. Use the link symbol (chain in the menu bar) past your address into the upper textfield, and put the name in the lower. That should get you what you want

    Yes, I can.

    Pat, Bend the strap around a round bar, oval would be even better. use a piece of metal wire to align the first holes (the ones at both ends) and start pressing it flat together. Starting with a rod, gives you some flexibility in "folding". If you use an undersized rod, the ends will meet and can be flattened already, by using a handtool. Using a small nail or wire makes it possible to align the first hole and press on.

    And I have more problems the smaller it gets ... Moving along nicely Mark. One advantage of BIG tweezers ... you can squeze Sam when he is nagging you

    Grant, must have been self-interest from madame

    oilcanning came through nicely, didn't loose a bit. Camouflage ain't half bad either
  16. cog
    Auch ... didn't you read up on the "Howto work with power tools" topic? Lucky it grew back on and you do not have a split personality ... afterwards.

    Een dubbeltje op z'n kant (narrow escape - a dime on it's side) Hope those aren't milk teeth, and those work

    maybe a shower will help with the singing ...

    I'm afaraid the strech line like EZ line will pose the same problems you have with the other rigging. I would personally go for the streched sprue, eventhough it is more work, you won't have the tensioning prblems. On my plastic builds I use EZ-line, but my masts are from brass, so I don't need to take the flexibility from those into account
  20. cog
    Do you use masking tape or e.g. carboard to get the sharp line for the oilcanning effect? Shouldn't you have the light side from the effect at the bottom of the hollow and the dark side at the top. I know I am a pain right know. It looks like the light comes from right under. It looks very real, as if you can touch the hollow
  21. cog
    maybe we should tip-toe on and not disturb the master, so his vains do not clog up from the stress we cause Fortunately those will be de-clogged within 350 years
  22. cog
    I see you have taken off in your German sieben miles Boot.
  23. cog
    it may even take a reboot to clear ones thoughts
  24. cog
    Now you can still decide to keep the covers off or on. Besides you do not need to fix the covers shut. As Mark wrote it all helps stiffening the frame. This would look even flimsier ...
  25. cog
    Very nice result on that scale. Your pumps turned out very well

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.
