Thank you Bill. I never user Vallejo acryllics, but will give them a try. Usually i paint with Humbrol enamels and Tamiya acrylics. I like washing with natural thinners, mostly artistic refined turpentine.

Hi Richard, The servo will have other duties as well? I mean like the following: if the rudder reaches 3/4 of its way, a contact point turns the thruster motor on. In this case i'd use reed (magnetic) relays for switch the motor on-off, and a tiny magnet for trigger.

Definitely do the rigging. You made the ship with great detail and weathering, must add rigging not just for accuracy but this add life to the model. I would use an elastic thread, easy to work with it.

Hi Dave, I built my Vasa some 30 years ago with superglued ratlines, because i found the knots in 1:144 scale way too big. They didn't failed at all. So i think i will follow that path on my Pamir too.

Sometimes i have a feeling that we were sailing together in the past Except we had only 3 canvas, and one of them is the Spinnaker, the rest is so familiar.

Keith, Eve is a lovely boat for a lovely owner! My concern is the keel, what material it is? If thats wood, you might want to add some ballast to its bottom, to avoid capsize and tears. I did not said anything, if thats a piece of tin or something. I will try to dig up my heritage 'scharenkreutzer' from 1946 to make some pic.

Braided ropes still in use today, although not hemp but nylon, and not only 3 line but 6 or 8. https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.americanrope.com%2Fpub%2Fmedia%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct%2Fcache%2Fd3ceb0298ce06b26d9e80afba584030f%2Fa%2Fn%2Fanchor_rodes_8strand_800_6.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.americanrope.com%2Frope%2Fanchor-rodes.html&tbnid=X6vJkL8Iieeh1M&vet=12ahUKEwi6tfas2_j7AhX087sIHcoGCcQQMyhaegUIARCMAQ..i&docid=50IWRblxZN8tqM&w=300&h=300&q=historical braided anchor rope&client=firefox-b-d&ved=2ahUKEwi6tfas2_j7AhX087sIHcoGCcQQMyhaegUIARCMAQ

Hi Keith, doubled jib sheets aren't unusual on racing yachts. Primarily it is for adjust the shape of the jib (the luff) by modifying the tension point, but it also helps to change tack faster.

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.
