Ok... time to clear out the crustacean infestation, and the other rodentiae (sp?) that have come to populate my build... I've finished getting all the deadeyes and chains rigged. In the process of doing so I had to cut and temporarily mount the top and topgallant masts (to get the angles right for the chains). First time I've seen her stretched to her full height. Andy

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.... check model railroad suppliers. "O" Scale is 1:48. You may not find exactly what you need, but you may have some luck locating "blanks" you can "surgically" alter to suit your needs. For anyone else browsing this thread: "G" Scale: 1:22.5, 1:29 and 1:32 "O" Scale: 1:48 "S" Scale: 1:64 "OO" Scale: (Varies Slightly between USA And Britain) Most common is 1:76 "HO" Scale: 1:87.1 "TT" Scale: 1:120 (Rare, hard to find) "N" Scale: 1:160 "Z" Scale: 1:220 Scale people are available in all these scales. Some work may be required to make them period appropriate. Mods: is it possible to make a permanent note of that for people who are looking for figures? Andy

If I remember correctly (not discounting any questions of historical bias or accuracy), in Nordoff and Hall's account, the carpenter was allowed to keep his tool chest, however most of his tools where kept by the mutineers. He was left with just a few basics. Andy

Looking good, Peter. In short order I'll probably be referencing your build for the spars etc. Just one trick I found, if you want the handrail around the companion ways taught, bend in the end stanchions a bit before tying the knots. That way you get a little slack to tie with, and when you're done you just straighten up the stanchions to get the tension back. Andy

I don't disagree. Seemed like yesterday, in particular, was a bit of a free-for-all. And it was fun. Since the crash the fellowship of the "surviving" members is stronger... And I think everyone is trying to reinforce that. Andy

No it would appear it is exactly what it says at the bottom. As a veteran of the old game... I would put forward that as a new comer he should be given a second chance... Andy

A banker's lamp is a very useful light to have. Between that and a halogen light over my shoulder, I get really good lighting at my desk. You should get yourself one! And thanks for your compliments too. Andy

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.
