    I'm really liking the look of the muslin sails. I will have to try that.

    Good info from @wefalck. Laser is not your best option, if at all, for detailed carving.

    I think a laser would be great for your miniature work. Browse through my Rattlesnake and Resolution builds to see how I have put a laser to use. To show you can make some fairly small precision parts, here is a link that shows how I made some fiddle blocks. I would highly recommend LIghtBurn for driving the laser. I have an older 20W Xtool that serves me well but If I were buying today I would go with the xTool S1 20W. Ventilation is a primary concern and with the Xtool all you need is a vent hose to get the smoke and fumes outside. Let me know if you have other questions you think I might answer.

    How does it deal with two or more objects touching each other? If you have to separate them, you might as well go ahead and count them.😁

    While interesting, you are showing The Process of Making Wire Ropes. It is not actually a Ropewalk. I'm not sure if it has a specific name other than a wire rope making machine/apparatus. I apologize for the pedantry.
  25. Gregory
    If they are requiring the ID, I don't know how you can get around that. However, the foremast provided in the kit would have been a wood dowel that you would refine based on the plans, so it should be fairly easy to aquire one from another source such as Amazon or a hobby shop.
  26. Gregory
    Very nice work!
  27. Gregory
    I'm not sure why it would matter.. The preventer stay is just a back up, however , Petersson may have got it wrong, or the model of Melampus may be wrong. If it matters, I would go with Lees.

    For a second there Greg, I thought you looked at my jig and made a drawing of it..😁 I must have seen yours at some point and used the design. P.S. Here is the link I couldn't post earlier.
  29. Gregory
    Many use a jig of some sort. Often it is a stiff wire between the deadeyes. I can’t post a link right now, but if you look at #66 in my Resolution log, you will see the jig I used. If the construction isn’t apparent, I will try to clarify later.

    Here are a couple of build logs. They are pretty comprehensive showing how the model goes together. Barbara, I am curious about several topics you have started with questions regarding various ships and modeling. You have received several replies but you never reply back with regard to the help you receive. Have you been able to benefit from the help you have received?

    There was /is a banner at the Malco site saying only the ownership had changed. All the employees and infrastructure remain the same. I use their blades with my Proxxon FET and have never had a problem.
  32. Gregory
    The Titebond should be fine..
  33. Gregory
    Take a look at some of the build logs for 17th century ships.
  34. Gregory
    That certainly looks good. I agree to keeping it simple when possible. I personally would not sweat the historical thing unless you find yourself in a situation where a client is going to pay $50,000, only if it is "historically accurate"..😁

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.
