Hi John, in his tables (first column - description) he uses these terms. I don't have a copy with me so will respond later when I can scan ad show). For some he uses the term Cabled (I think for preventer) and for other Cable laid (shroud?) This may be the other way around so I will need to check to be specific. cheers Pat

Could I please seek the opinion of the more experienced members in determining the diffence between the terms Cable laid and cabled used by Steel in his tables. When refering to some ropes he states "cabled" while for others he states "Cable Laid". Initially I assumed it was the same thing stated differently; but why, within the same table would he do so - there had to be a specific purpose ot reason for using the different terms? Many thanks Pat

Take your time with the reposting Ed; although I can understand your need to finish and progress. It has been very beneficial rereading your posts on this second iteration, as there is so much useful information that I have missed or forgotten from the first time around. Many thanks for perservering with this. cheers Pat

Dust collecting on Byrnes Machines
BANYAN replied to stantona's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Just luck of the draw I suppose but the standard flexible vacuum hose (shopvac machines) fits neatly into the ID of the Byrnes machine here (no adaptors needed). Whereas we pay (very high) transport costs to get Jim's machines here, I suppose this is a small off-set saving - the eternal optimist... cheers Pat -

No matter what your profession Karl, that is some seriously good and expertly finshed detailing. The furniture itself would make some very good models in their own right. IMPRESSIVE! cheers Pat- 662 replies

Almost there Popeye - the paint job is very 'neat'! WRT the Aztec airbrush, does it take the interchangable tips/nozzles? if so, there is one for doing fine lines (can't remember the colour code for it off the top of my head - sorry) cheers Pat

Mark, in addition to your comments, I think most examples highlighted are the owner's own photograph of the box /graphic etc rather than a direct lift of a graphic; which is then the copyright? We are also non-profit so there is no commercial gain .... I am no lawyer but I think these companies would see this as a cheap way of advertising? cheers Pat

Thanks for looking in Dave, and well spotted. Nope I have erred and only realised it too late. This is my first major build (and these masts are from scrtatch) and I have a lot to learn yet I have ben telling myself that this is ok, but one of these days soon I will get the urge to remake them as while everything else is OK, the alignment of the sheaves in my masts is incorrect. cheers Pat

Thanks John, appreciate the offer. I would be most interested in the deatils of the fitting on each of the lower masts, and the quarterdeck bulwarks (inner details) especially cleats and the like. The AOTS and the replica are similar in many respects, but the replica appears to make use of many more cleats on the masts and bulwarks (in lieu of belaying pins for the latter). For example, the AOTS does not show as many cleats on the lower main mast as is evidident in a phopto of the replica I have from a few years back. It is the only photo of that sort of detail I have, so your offer would be greatly appreciated. cheers Pat

Thanks John, nearly missed the 'double intende' - can only go upwards now Biggest issue I am having at the moment is determining what fittings/furniture to attach to the lower masts - the AOTS, kit plans and replica differ so much cheers Pat

coloring handmade rigging line
BANYAN replied to davec's topic in Rope Making/Ropewalks's Discussions about Rope Making
Thanks Chuck, will have to look into that. Sorry to trouble you with a further question, but could you please explain the mixture and method of dying you use (if it's not giving away a trade secret ). Do you use it straight out of the can, dilute it etc to ensure the tack-free uniform finish; and do you simply soak it in the solution and let it hang to dry. This is a great finish and I would really like to try and replicate it if I can find it, or something of the same type over here. cheers Pat -
Here you go Jim, a first up photo of LH vs RH rope made on your machine. The LH laid rope is shown on the right. Ther RH laid is formed from RH stock as I have not made up sufficient small stuff yet - just seeing if I could short-cut the process; but, it looks like I have to make up the smaller stock in LH first. I need to get a macro lens for this type of photo I think - this photo is taken at short notice and really does not 'cut the mustard' so to speak - sorry for the poor quality. Only a bit of each scale rope is in focus, but it shows the uneven lay of the strands in the RH laid rope (to the left) within the circled area. cheers Pat

Hi again folks, another small update. I have started to dry assemble the mast components to check for fit, alignment etc. The following photo shows the start of the Fore Mast. Thanks for looking in Dave and for your most kind comments - still learning quite a bit as I progress

Hi Jim, have taken a photo and sent it to you, will repost on here when I am home (site was down yesterday and didn't have a chance to post it online). From what I have achieved so far, LH makes up nicely; still having some problems with RH. I should be more specific in that I am attempting to make RH from RH stocvk thread without going throught the interim process of making LH first - call me lazy! If anyone finds a stockist of LH threads please give a holler (as I asked first..... ) cheers Pat

She looks just as nice second time around Chuck (and is a timely reminder for me to dig out my partial build and complete it ) 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.
