That's a very interesting way to make gratings, I like it. How do machine the excess wood off the underneath?
-
I just read it too! Fascinating, and highly recommended. I really enjoy the clear-eyed, objective and dispassionate lens that some modern historians are bringing to these subjects, leaving out all the romanticism, jingoism etc. The books written by James Holland on WW2 are equally good.
-
A very nice looking ship too! Ketch rigged, presumably. Mid 1700s?
-
Great start - lovely clean detail. Looking forward to more! I assume this the EURYALUS of 1803, a 36 gun frigate? But you haven't finished the beautiful model of the Boudriot 74!

Handsome ship, a bit reminiscent of the US ship sloop Peacock, of about the same time.

I haven't read Shattered sword, I'll have to look for it. As it happens I recently read the account of Midway by Mitsuo Fuchida and Masatake Okumiya, giving the Japanese view of events, which was a fascinating perspective.

I'm watching with great attention Ilhan. Fascinating to see your solutions to the various build challenges. The propeller and its housing are wonderful.
-
Interesting subject! I look forward to seeing how the model develops.
-
C'est magnifique. Vraiment!
-
Looking good! Interesting choice of ship too.

Fokker Dr.I triplane by cog - multiple - 1:72 - PLASTIC
Tony Hunt replied to cog's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Fascinating. I used to make model planes when I was a young boy, Airfix mostly - a long time ago now! I have to say the craft has come a long way since then. The amount of research material available on the internet is mind-boggling. -
Quote > I tried winding it today. It's not ideal. It needs to be adjusted. < The chain, I take it? I'm guessing it kinked and tangled as it wound, too much "hole diameter" and not enough "link diameter" I suspect. The shackles and hooks etc you've made look superb.

That's looking fantastic Ken!

They look great Carl. Where are you getting the colour schemes from? -
The second and third images certainly look spalted to me.

Reflections on the first attempt to regulate the nascent pearlshelling industry along the north-western coast of Australia in 1875...

I wonder why Labedoyere was executed when many were granted amnesty after Waterloo? "The White Terror" after Waterloo was a pretty nasty time, it seems.
-
They are a wonderful series of photos for a modeller. Fascinating to look at what has changed on the ship (and amongst the crew), as well as what hasn't. The missing ventilators near the funnel are particularly striking, quite a major change.
-
Yes, I thought the same thing. The chain in use on most of the historical photos of small craft that I've looked at tends to be smaller links and much "chunkier". Often the two adjoining links almost fill the hole formed by each link.
