capnharv2 got a reaction from SiriusVoyager in Why do OcCre models start with the first plank partially down the hull?
I think it's to reduce errors in planking, and forcing odd plank shapes at the sheerline or keel. Larger vessels have 3-4 planking belts.
At least, that's how I think it goes. . . .
Your mileage may vary

capnharv2 reacted to yankee clipper in Amazon Prime Series Victory at Sea
One could not watch this series without being captivated by the Richard Rodgers and Robert Bennett musical score. Absolutely wonderful.

I have no idea if there are any copyright issues, but here goes. . .
Chris pointed out Barkentines. One to consider is the Regina Maris. It has an extensive history. Another is Gazela Primero from Philadelphia. 1:96 would work
Along with the CA Thayer, there's her sister ship Wawona. She was cut up in 2010, but she was well documented as they disassembled her. Like the Thayer, 1:96 would work
One, from Harold Hahn's The Colonial Schooner, 1763-1775, would be Sir Edward Hawke. Small enough for several different scales.
On the West Coast, there's the ubiquitous Bristol Bay Gillnetter. At 28' overall, one could add a lot of detail.
One last one, then I'll shut up-Pride of Baltimore 1?

capnharv2 reacted to threebs in Frigate USS United States 1789 by threebs - 1:72
Smithsonian Institute. The website in the second photo is out of date, but it brings you to one that where you can order the catalog. I think it is 25.00 bucks now. Many of the warships of the US Navy from 1789 to 1860 are in this catalog. I do not remember where I got the deck plans by C. Ware. If you want, for the cost of postage and having my print shop guys copy it in this scale (1/72), I will send it to you. you can email me at gabe3105659@gmail.com with an address. Should be about 3 bucks for the copy and 5 or so for postage. https://americanhistory.si.edu/about/departments/work-and-industry/ship-plans. I had a similar request on one of my facebook groups and found this website. I remembered this after posting, so I edited it. Had to edit yet again, thought this forum might be of interest to you.

capnharv2 got a reaction from bridgman in What do you do with your unusable rigging line?
I have a lot of old, used rigging line (for the real sailboat) lying around the house too. It's been suggested that I learn to make rope fenders and bow pudding. . . .

I wish! I stopped buying kits 15-20 years ago. Nowdays, I get notes from families whose ship modelling father/grandfather/brother/etc have passed away, and they send me leftover rigging line ("string", as they call it)
I get leftover ship model wood too (anybody want some 1" x 6" x 6' basswood?). At least I can find a use for wood. . .

capnharv2 reacted to allanyed in What do you do with your unusable rigging line?
I would run a razor over as much as possible so there are only small pieces. I got in the habit of cutting fishing line as well as the rings on plastic six pack rings for soda and beer when garbage was hauled on barges back in the day and still do it to this day just in case. Turtles supposedly see the clear plastic as jelly fish and get hung up or choke on the stuff if it winds up in the water.

capnharv2 got a reaction from Keith Black in What do you do with your unusable rigging line?
In several kit build logs and model reviews, I've read how awful some of the kit-supplied rigging line is. And, I'm thankful we have companies here that provide excellent quality rigging line to replace the bad stuff with.
My question, though, is, what does everybody do with their old, crappy rigging line? The stuff that you'll never find a use for.
I don't have an answer. The stuff just accumulates with almost every kit I buy.
I don't want to just throw it out. I've seen what fish netting can do to wildlife and wouldn't want to let that happen. I guess I could burn it in the fireplace. . .
I've heard people say, "Oh, just keep it. You'll find a use for it someday". I've got about 40 years' worth of "somedays" stored up to use, and it's not getting used.
Just curious. Thanks for letting me whine . . .

capnharv2 reacted to Keith Black in Tally Ho's Rigging
For those of you who follow Leo and team rebuilding the Tally Ho, I'm sure you've already seen this week's episode but for those of you who do not, you're missing a real treat. This weeks episode deals with the rigging, it's well worth the watch to see how things are done in real life.
I wish there was a serving mallet for models.
Below is to the website for the folks responsible for making Tally Ho's rigging, It's an interesting tour.

Plastic or not, almost anything can be saved and/or restored.
The real question is-are the time and money spent on a project like this worth it to you?

capnharv2 got a reaction from tlevine in Next NRG Conference
Something else to consider for the conference is how the location impacts attendance. Places like LA, Chicago, New England etc are home to a lot more ship modelers, and are more likely to attend a conference there than some place far away. I suspect few people would attend a conference in Hawaii-even though it has a rich maritime history (and is a great vacation spot to boot)
Having lived in the PNW and ship modeling here for 40 years, I'd love to see an NRG conference here. But I'm not sure what attendance would be.
My opinion only. Your mileage may vary. . .
