Hi folks, Also on this holiday we took a look in at a National Trust House called Runnymede; which was at one time, the home of a very successful Whaling ship captain and owner of a fleet of whaling ships based in Hobart, Tasmania. In there I found a couple of canvas mats/runners which I believe may have been made exactly like the ones in ships. they show Howell made these were with some very intricate patterns and look quite good. posted for interest. cheers Pat

This may not be the best forum for this photo/info - mods please move if required. While on holiday in Tasmania recently I visited the Tasmanian Maritime Museum in Hobart. While small, it had some interesting artifacts including this section of timber from the bow of an unknown vessel believed to be mid-1800s (possibly the Hope). It shows some good exampls of the copper/brass fixings. It is a slightly fuzzy photo as I had to shoot hand held without flash under some very poor lighting. I hope it is of benefit to some members? cheers Pat

She is looking good Dave; plenty of nice detail. I left the boat boom hardware off the channels as I thought I might catch them and damage them or the channels while rigging; I'll be interested to see how you make out. cheers Pat

Removing Blacken-It from Brass
BANYAN replied to mtaylor's topic in Metal Work, Soldering and Metal Fittings
Mark, try rubbing with a fibreglass pencil brush then soaking them in Muriatic (brickies) acid for a while. I was able to use this method with a bit of scrubbing with a toothbrush to remove some blackening (I used Birchwood Casey blackener) which had not worked so well in parts. This got them back to near clear brass but it certainly was not as shiny a surface but a scrub with fine steel wool certainly resolved that Please note this was not a deep blacken process as I notice the mottled effect before the full process had not completed. cheers Pat -
Make sure to drop in on Melbourne while you're here Mark 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.
