    Is there any reason that this could not be chain driven in the middle, 'between' the two wheels?

    eBay has miniature bevel gears. Not sure what scale size your gears would need to be, but 'maybe' eBay would have some around the right size.

    よくできました！ Very impressive, Glen! Well done!

    Autocad does 3D. Use what you got!

    This stuff isn't very expensive at all and 150 pieces 2mm X 2mm will solder a LOT of parts, however! Bear in mind that no matter 'what' alloy of solder you choose... color matching is always going to be a problem... at least for us hobbyists who rarely know the exact numbers of the alloys that our parts are truly made of. We just buy stuff generically called brass, copper, etc. The true makeup of that material is usually a mystery. 2 * 2 mm 150 Pcs Gold Solder Silver Solder For Jewelry 14K Gold Solder Including E Solder M Solder H Solder Easy Welding for DIY Jewelry Making Repair Electronic Soldering 1 Gram - Amazon.com

    Lasting memories have just been made. Because of that model... neither you, nor Carson will ever forget one another! Those two bottles of rum are simply icing on a really great memorable cake! "Great job, Glen!"

    I was really looking into the narrowboat life and the British canals a while back. The Mrs. told me "No, don't even think about it less you find yourself wanting for another woman!" I told her I wasn't wanting a woman; I wanted a canal boat! That wasn't my brightest idea... 😮

    Looking good!

    I agree, however. I'd keep the moss, or whatever 'transitional-material' used tucked inside of the root mass, kinda like those Ponderosa Pines that can be found growing out of cracks in huge rocks with a bit of organic matter growing around the cracks and crevices.

    I too vote for the second one. That non-uniform slab of rock really makes it look natural and pleasing to the eye!

    1/8" = .125". Divide 12" inches (1 foot) by .125". This gives you 96, therefore the scale is 1/96. Everything you make, for your model, will be 96 times smaller than the part on the real ship is/was. To find the size of 'anything' at that 1/96 scale, simply divide the listed dimension, in inches, by 96. For example. If the drawing shows something to be 7 feet long... 7x12 = 84" inches. 84" inches divided by 96 = .875" long at 1/96 scale. You might need to download a decimal equivalent chart if you are not already accustomed to working with decimals. You can 'also' purchase a scale ruler and save yourself from doing the math. Hope this helps.

    Hmm... It's gone! There 'used' to be a post about that here, really, there 'WAS'! 😕

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.
