Great to have you and this little beauty back Glenn. I hope the novovirus didn't take too much out of you as it can be very debilitating. I would love to see this model, and your other work, in real life as the detailing is simply superb. cheers Pat

Microwaving the wood?
BANYAN replied to a topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I have used the nuking technique successfully for bending thin and thicker planks (up to 4mm square stock) and it doesn't seem to leech the colour out of wood (such as walnut) as you experience with boiling. cheers Pat -

Hi OC, mate i think we all have those melancholy periods from which we need to get ourselves re-motivated. Nice to see another update, she is coming on very nicely. cheers Pat

Many thanks zoly and Chuck; very much appreciate your comments. Chuck: you have paraphrased my feelings very well - there are still times I feel I want to take her out and redo/add something extra.

I'm teaching myself 3D CAD at the moment with the hope of a joint purchase of a printer with a friend of mine. The prices for a reasonable unit have come down quite a bit but still not cheap cheers Pat

Quite interesting and could be very useful Keith, but I think I will save my pennies for a 3D printer cheers Pat

Despite the frustrations along the way; if I have a good belaying plan then I enjoy rigging the model as much as building her. cheers Pat

Thanks Sjors - I enjoyed the build and learning process but glad I can put her to bed and simply 'look at her' as you say cheers Pat

Hi Jud, they certainly don't like it when you 'borrow' from the kitchen do they

Do you have a 'luthier' workshop nearby? I visited one to get some advice as their work required constant sharpening of small chisels etc. i wanted to know which type of chisels and planes to use/purchase and how to maintain them. He was kind enough to spare me some time and his advice to me was to set up a sharpening station and leave it set up; and to hone often, as keeping them sharp was the first priority. Do you have room somewhere nearby to set up a permanent station rather than at the bench you are working at? A short walk to the station may be quicker than the constant setting -up and putting-away? His station was set up in a large shallow plastic tray that he could stow out of the way but then have it nearby to where he was working at the time. I spent about 3 hours with him, and I think I saw his off-sider sharpen/hone tools at least twice in that period - all by hand. cheers Pat

She's taking on some of her final definition and looking the part now John - very nice. That last shot really shows of her beautiful lines. cheers Pat

Looks good Dave; hang in there I still have two to do in slow time but still thinking of how I will do them; especially the skiff as being so narrow the frames will be very delicate. I am thinking a solid plug to build it on. cheers Pat

That looks very effective Nenad; even simulates the overlap of the plates. cheers Pat

Mike, I did mine (Endeavour) very early in the build and had no problems with them at all (WRT being knocked off) - I used PVA. If well glued I think you will find they are quite robust, but they will remain prone to nicks and dents, especially on the edges, if care is not taken when laying the ship on it's side to do any work, or doing rough work near them. The tape would help with that. 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.
