Darn, I am sorry I missed your log before this Maury; a very nice build of a non-typical subject. I will take some time to go back to the start and look more closely at your work. I hope you don't mind the last minute arrival of an audience? cheers Pat

ancre Chebece 1750 by Jeronimo - FINISHED
BANYAN replied to Jeronimo's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Bravissimo! Wunderbar! Very neat work Karl. WRT the photos (sorry not in German), I find if I upload them all first, then place the cursor in the position in the response, then click on the uploaded photo I want to include, it is placed where I want it. Therefore to get the right sequence, simply place cursor for the first and add photo (from the uploaded ones), then place the cursor under that one etc etc. I hope that helps? cheers Pat -
Hi Dan and Druxey, I am not sure if this applies to the merchant/commercial ships but in the 'grey funnel line' a breakwater was a larger structure, usually on the forecastle to 'break' larger waves/water coming over the bows etc. A spurnwater was smaller and used to divert/control water - one place was the raised metal plates near the 'devil plates' to guide water to the scuppers. Very nice detail Dan, this build is looking great. cheers Pat

No images showing - is it just me? cheers Pat -
Very nice build Greg; quite the collection you have now. I can understand doing several of a similar type will make you feel stale; good idea to change tack for a while. cheers Pat

Very nice Toni, can't help you directly with your question, but my current build (the 1850s, so much later) had stanchions with manropes and no nets. I am not sure if that was an option in your build era? cheers Pat

pin pusher / nail nailer amati
BANYAN replied to michael101's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Ditto, unfamiliar with the two tube version. I have also stopped using these and find it better to use an old carpenter's hack/trick. Push the pin through a thin piece of card that is shaped to suit the job, and use a tack hammer - keeps the fingers out of the road and you have more control Sorry, that does not help you with the tool, but might be worth considering? cheers Pat -
I would have thought chicory - isn't that used for smoking (meat etc) cheers Pat

Please help! What to buy.
BANYAN replied to semorebutts's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
Hi all, I have become a real fan of resistance soldering due to the control you have over it. I have been able to do some intricate work without heat sinks by placing the probes, and the solder, in the right place, The solder will draw towards the heat, and by using differing melting point solders, able to achieve this. The biggest issue with PE is that if you are not carefull you can blow through it very quickly with excessive heat. The pissdales below still need cleaning up but as you can see these are only 4.5mm and the two end pieces (triangular) and the tubes were soldered in without heatsinks. cheers Pat -
Ditto, I have already gained so much from your Naiad books and this log; I look forward to my Christmas present (YA Vols 1 and 2) but, in particular, I am looking forward to the next volume on rigging. cheers Pat

Hi Carl, I have been watching this 'additional' build of yours for a while, but thought I should comment on the great finish you have achieved. A lovely little model. As they look like an elaborate pipe, perhaps on a 'pipe stand' ? cheers Pat

Glad to hear you were able to resolve it Danny; the model is looking very good. cheers Pat

Thanks for the pointer Greg, you are absolutely right - I am even more impressed now! cheers Pat

Hi Danny, you will get many conflicting results from google or similar searches as the direction was a design criteria and differed from ship Class to ship Class. Even to this day, ships have different propellor configurations to meet the design requirements, which are determined by the winning bidder/tender (and accepted by the Navy/Company) unless specifically detailed in the tender request/Contract. There are arguments offered about fuel economy versus maneuverability etc etc. for the different configurations. Also, as you have summised you need sufficient flow over the rudders to make them effective. Even with twin rudders, if they were not big enough, or incorrectly placed, they may not have been effective with a particular screw configuration. Unless you can find a contract or authoritative document that states what the configuration was, I would recommend the best way to determine this would be to look at any photos of the screws if any exist. The pitch of the blades (I think they were all fixed pitch in these days) will indicate which way they turned? For the central screw, I would not be surprised if it turned in the same direction as the motor output to minimise gearing and complication. It may also be that this screw was only used if extra/the highest speed was needed. That does not help you determine the direction, but apart from the pitch, if you know the motor/engine type, it may be possible to trace that back as well to find it's mechanical properties ..... I would be very surprised that a ship of this fame did not have propulsion information, including about the screws, published about it somewhere. cheers Pat

Hi Eberhard, thanks for your comments, and yep they come in various guises and brands. I have three different sizes with the larger ones used for shrouds and the like. Not sure of the brand name of mine but they were relatively cheap to acquire from the local electronics store - I think the smaller ones are used for testing circuit boards and the like. Sure are a lot cheaper on eBay :). cheers Pat

Good idea with that jig Dave; but what a glutton for punishment doing it the 'real' way with those loops etc at that scale - good luck cheers Pat

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.
