Daniel you need to rename the file next time.... the name is in it (which I realized after I found the ship!)

The Latina ships are ok, they are generally good wood, but both my kit and my husband's kits from them were missing a couple parts ... not a big deal if you are creative, but their price is definitely lower than some other brands on the trio you mentioned. Also the instructions seem to be written in Spanish first and then translated to other languages. I'd assume by your location that you can read it - so you'd have a leg-up in that regard being that you'd be able to understand what's going on when the translation is, um, lacking.

HMS Pandora 1779 in 3D
slagoon replied to ppddry's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
Incredible work! It shows so much detail of a physical build! Thanks for showing all the interim work to get to the more complete-looking model. -
Ding Ding Ding, you, sir are correct Mr. St. George http://www.nautilusminerals.com/s/2008Programs.asp The Nor Sky is a mineral exploration and research vessel. She's not especially famous, but she is really neat looking Congrats.

Just woke up to find that I'm a winner :-D Well I don't know if it will be easy or hard. I did remove the name ON the ship in 3 spots...hopefully the photoshop job isn't too bad but I thought she was a rather neat ship. I will give hints in 12 hours if no correct answers.

No it doesn't seem to have been. If Wikipedia is correct it was actually a passenger liner that was torpedoed by a submarine in 1916...she had a sister ship the Egypt who looked similar who did work as a hospital ship during the war... I suppose it could be either one of them...they look VERY similar.

Is it the P&O arabia? http://www.simplonpc.co.uk/PO_Liners1.html

Ben, I thought that at first about the ME paints, but now I take a glop of it on some tin foil, wet my brush and then get some paint on the brush. (you could also just thin it with some water...) and I got some fantastic results. Jason, the boat looks really nice. Can't wait to see it finished.

Yep, my coworker asked me why I wasn't overlapping my planks, and I asked why I would - he, having been a sailor most of his life until he moved to aerospace in his early 50's explained that it is authentic to the real ship's boats (in many cases) to have the planks overlap to create a seal. That looks pretty good there....nice and even.

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.
