Gregory got a reaction from BETAQDAVE in Pride of Baltimore II by AndyMech - Model Shipways - 1:64
Not sure this is a new idea, but here is what I came up with for making stronger pin rails.
I use L shape stock. The bottom part, which provides a base for anchoring, is virtually invisible once mounted on the bulwark.

Gregory got a reaction from thibaultron in Niagara pinrails reinforcements
Here is a little tip I posted about this ..
Pin rail Tip
Probably not real practice, but effective on models IMO..

Once you start talking about ripping and such, then you need a fence, and a miter gauge, etc. You can quickly go beyond what
seems to be the scope of the original project. Also the cost would go up accordingly.

I think I would put together a little more robust table than what we see in the video. Maybe using 1/4" plywood.

Something like this:
12V Motor on Amazon
Power supply
Just search for 12v DC motor..

Gregory got a reaction from mtaylor in Topmast stay rigging on the Cutter Cheerful.
What plans are you looking at?
On my plans, included with the starter kit from Chuck, the bowsprit is the standing end. The running end reeves through a block at the top mast, and runs to a two block tackle, attached to an eyebolt down on the mast or on the deck in front of the mast.. Perhaps Chuck can clarify.
I believe this image from the build log, shows it attached to an eyebolt on the deck in front of the mast.

I'm not 100% sure, because the wording on the plans says " ... an eyebolt on fore side of the mast. "

Gregory reacted to JerseyCity Frankie in Rope edging on sails
Gluing the boltrope onto the sail COMPLETELY AVOIDS out of scale thread and out of scale stitching. I honestly can't think of any good reason to sew the boltrope onto a model sail other than if one is slavishly sticking to real world practice out of a sense of litteral interpretation. But even then the sailtwine passes through not around the boltrope.

Might be able to help with more info... Any pictures?

Gregory got a reaction from Canute in A quick clarification
In light of which, the frapping of gun tackle would seem appropriate on a model.
No less so, than the neat coils laying on the deck, often seen on models.
Would those coils represent actual practice on a working ship?

Gregory got a reaction from thibaultron in Possible ebony substitute
Considering the un-friendliness as a modeling medium, I'm curious as to the background/tradition on the desire to use ebony in wood ship modeling.
