    Dick, The rudder looks marvelous. I can't make chocolate from that picture (a Dutch expression when you do not know how to do something), so I presume you have a better image, or a far better eye than I have.

    Hmmm, I would expect a straight jacket to keep you at the house. So how is the planking moving on?

    That's some watchmake level work Pat. Interesting contraption your Dremel is hanging in

    Yves, Normally one would take a metal or wooden rod (I've got an aluminum set for that) and roll those access plates on a cutting mat or press them in a matching form. I never use a hard surface, as it can (and most probably will) make your parts get a life off their own and go searching for the carpet monster. After shaping glue them on. I usually take a size smaller rod than de required size. You need to take into account that attaching them on, and then rolling the cigar may: damage the cigar itself have the plates jump all over your workspace/place if used with considerable CA won't bend the plates tool I use for it Those added details, do make them look a lot better ...

    What are you saying!? You need a psychiatrist after your son with your grandson have been down at your place for two weeks?

    Oi, I be summat stunn'd ... a pie-rate must plundr royalty bargees, an sink 'em after. Whot arst thou spenning good coin on buildin' such a one. You cannee sail the seven seas wi' it. I be all in irons as you maketh her a shiny piece (time to make scarce and hit the cot)

    You are suddenly in a hurry. I hope next time I visit you won't be starting to rigg!

    If I'm ever near, I'll come and get a glass of cider, could do with "un calva" although that is from your regional neighbour. Must have been by somebody whose spectacles got lost/stolen that day :)

    very realistic

    Steve, You want white letters, the only way I know you can do that is with white decal paper, or paint them. Printers do not print in white. If you go for the decalpaper, you create an image in paintdotnet, Adobe Photoshop, The Gimp, or whatever program you use for drawing and such. You draw a rectangle and fill it with the colour of the hull, add the white text and print it on the decalpaper, cut it out and slide it on the hull. E.g.

    You are a far braver man than I would be. It just shows how the men are seperated from the boys Glad you could fix it easily
  19. cog
    You could even extend the walk on the outside to the front ...
  20. cog
    Oui, that's the general idea
  21. cog
    You could cut away some of the hull to make the platform bigger, and have it extend along the sides ...

    You can't use the sprues from your 3D printed parts (just to be on the safe side) I found the sprues from Trumper and Eduard kits behaviour satisfactorily, Revel so so
  23. cog
    Have you tried soldering paste Pat? I had some good result with 0.3 wire. You could also try to form them from the sprue of a kit (ask Greg, he'll be swamped in those pieces) You heat them and can pull threads from it in any shape, which you in turn can combine to your needs ...

    Micheal, I do appreciate the effort you put into solving your problem. It seems most every build has it's perks. However, wouldn't it be easier to cut of X bulkheads at the front and Y at the rear and remake them, add the fill blocks, and sand them down to follow the hull line. I can't suppress the idea it will be very hard to get the curvatures of the hull on both sides equal the way you work on it now, or it will be very difficult to realise.
  25. cog
    depends, which will be less tricky to put on when the other is present. My plastic builds require me to work from the inside out. I can imagine it's not so much different for you. Although, I do have the stanchions mounted before I add the davits and boats, but my railing is EZ-line and by far easier to attach than your rods

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.
