Impressive work Glen, I think you have a very near match for the ocean colour you were shooting for. If you go down the path of water from the bottle's mouth, perhaps some clear nylon fishing line CA'd to the mouth of the bottle would provide a starting framework/ligature for the water? cheers Pat

Big call Keith - I'll stay away from that debate - Luckily I stick to good ol' rum (Bundaberg preferably) cheers Pat
-
Up to your usual very high-quality joinery work Richard; slowly coming along very nicely. cheers Pat
-
You're welcome to the Fosters Glen but I will try to warn you off that exported 'dishwater' . That diorama is starting to look really good. cheers Pat
-
For a hull made from no plans that looks pretty good. Probably too late to add some additional filling/backing behind the ply to satisify those 'starving cows'; but if needed you can always glue a second layer in the 'holllows/flats to fill those areas out before sanding? cheers Pat

Ah so that's the trick - gradual grooming - puts paid to my 'shock and awe' approach Looking really good Ian, those line look really good; you must have put considerable effort into the fairing? cheers Pat

That is a very nicely detailed model; especially at the scale you are working at Eberhard. Impressive! cheers Pat
-
That's looking really good Steven, the sails and increasingly dense web of rigging is really adding interesting detail to show her off. Hat is 'doffed' for such great detail in such a small scale of working. cheers Pat

Hi Glen, I am sure you understood I was simply 'stirring the porridge' so to speak BUT, will be tickled pink if you do. You are developing a very interesting diorama and presentation of your latest creation. cheers Pat

That's looking so good Glen; you could get a second job in movie model making. cheers Pat

Looks great Steven, a creative solution. Do you have any concerns that the PVA may be affected by humidity in the future? cheers Pat

I'll hopefully stay away from any inuendo and simply say your creations are looking great Glen . Oh, and I still think a couple of spears sticking out of those creations will look great Sorry, couldn't help it., my fingers just kept typing. cheers Pat

I hope all works out well for you Richard. this will be one eye-popping sight to see with the mechanism in place and working the oars. cheers Pat

Great info Bruce, thanks. It helps to clarify some of the issues. Seems this Uni has a decent Maritime/Naval Archeology department as Mark Staniforth is a Professor here and he had produced a couple of papers on this subject also. cheers Pat

I hope it arrives soon Harry; hopefully all in good working order -- no trouble with mine as it was well packaged. cheers Pat -

Value-for-Money Airbrush
BANYAN replied to BANYAN's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
That's the sort of approach I am also looking at Keith. If I restrict its use to simply laying down primer then even if I only get 10 uses out of it, then that is probably 10 models as I use my high-end one (H&S) for the finer and smaller parts. The big 'seller' for me was the interchangeable larger volume paint cups which is what I needed. Roger, I agree, there is not much fine detail work I do with an airbrush. If I was an artist or doing heavy weathering of a plastic model then there is no other way but to go for a better quality brush. Harry, I think you are in an even more restrictive situation than me. I put some water through the other day it it worked fine with the two larger needles. I'll be putting some [aint down soon using the large cup, and that will be the real test. I wouldn't want to drop the thing though, it is very light weight. cheers, and many thanks for all of the comments and feedback. 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.
