    Thank you! Scoring the brass before hand must be what I was missing.

    If you don’t mind me asking, how are you cutting your brass into strips. I’m going to need more and I can’t seem to find anyone that sells them. Your build is looking wonderful!

    Speaking of the DRI, I just drafted one in 1/35 scale!I’m yet undecided if I’ll be building this one directly after my Avro or if I’ll be starting my gun port lids.

    Now that all of my hammock netting is done, I’ll be taking a break for a little while. I’m going to build at least my Avro 504K that I drafted almost a year ago.
  25. Unegawahya
    That’s great news! I’m excited to see your work and solutions for what’s coming up!
  26. Unegawahya started following USS Constitution by GGibson - Model Shipways - 1:76.8
  27. Unegawahya
    That is correct! I’ve had great success this way.
  28. Unegawahya
    I’m sorry. I forgot to say that the hemostats were being held closed by the spring clips on the soldering stand.
  29. Unegawahya
    I found that I needed to hold my hemostats with my soldering stand to be able to tie on my hooks to my blocks. I also ended up making all of my own hooks for the blocks.

    I’m also using tulle. I got the finest one I could find at Walmart. The only unfortunate thing is that it’s silver and I have to paint it once it’s in place. I’ve also been playing with it to get it to be a little squarer before I start stitching it in.
  31. Unegawahya
    My first set of custom hammock stanchions on the port side are done! It did seem to take me a wile to get the design set up and the materials together to photo etch the stanchions. But I really think it was definitely worth it! Now I just need to get started on the starboard side.
  32. Unegawahya
    Your guns are looking great! Do you know if your going to rig them?
  33. Unegawahya
    I used the etching photo resist masking from Model Expo that sets with UV light and I etched the brass with a 2-1 mixture of hydrogen peroxide and muriatic acid. This was my second attempt. I didn’t get the photo resist applied correctly on the other side and it started peeling off.
  34. Unegawahya
    I needed midship hammock stanchions for my 2015 build and after three etching attempts, I think I finally did it! I designed the template on my computer from the Navy plans and finally got some good results. I do need to clean up the rope holes but I’m really pleased with the final result!
  35. Unegawahya
    I also got the port side anchor attached yesterday!Here’s a close up of my anchor ring with the rope wrap.
  36. Unegawahya
    That is a threader that I got from our fly fishing store. When I wrap anything with a sting or rope I’ll add the threader. Then when I’m done I’ll stick the tail in the end of the threader and pull it through!

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.
