Stevinne got a reaction from CDW in Claymore-class Contre Torpilleur 1910 by RGL - FINISHED - Inside the Armour publications - 1/350 - RESIN
I like little torpedo boats and early destroyers, but the key word is little. In 1/350 they are cool but small.

Stevinne got a reaction from mtaylor in Cutting pre-scored deck
I made the template from the ship itself. The Harriet Lane has a pre-carved hull, with the bulwarks thicker than they should be, so the first step is to thin them down - I did that with my rotary tool and sandpaper. It looks good so far, but I imagine my job is nothing like what is shown on the plans. My plan is what you suggest - Give myself a little extra width and sand the deck so it slides in snug, though one of my concerns is that the plank lines might then wind up a little off the center line.

I hadn't thought to look at other logs. I did search "scored deck" and "scored sheet." I'll take a look and see what I can see. My plan is sort of what you recommend. I'd really like to just ditch the sheet and use planks, but at that scale, I don't know if it's feasible.

She's 1:144 and the planks look to be about 1.5mm wide apiece. It looks like I might be able to cut individual strips, but man - that's a lot of small individual strips

Sorry, as a former newspaper employee who has seen what "free" information has done to outlets, I can't agree. I now work for a company that charges a bundle for the information we provide. I'm better paid, have better benefits and our customers seem happy, since our profits are rising. Meanwhile, take a look at your local newspaper and compare it to the size and amount of news that had been provided 20 or 30 years ago. That's the impact of everyone wanting everything for free. Gathering and publishing credible information costs money. There is an amazing amount of free information available on the Web, we are extraordinarily lucky to have access to it. But generating information isn't free.
I think I should be able to walk into my local Mercedes dealership and drive off with what I want, but unfortunately, Mercedes won't let me. Information is just as valuable.
You're lucky - even though the Post & Courier has cut back a bit, it still has high aspirations and a good amount of content.

You should definitely check your library - they might have online access to the journal for patrons. It amazes me all the online resources my library has - every thing from language lessons to newspaper archives to obscure movie services, there's a chance yours will have access to this one.

I suspect institutions -- libraries, universities, etc. -- pay for access for their members, so if you can demonstrate that you're associated with one, you can get in. I suspect, if you contacted the publisher, they would either sell you the article you're interested in or direct you to an institution that would loan it to you.
Particularly on technical subjects, I expect to pay for good information. We subscribe to a data service at work that costs a fortune. Every year I have to answer questions about how much value we get from it and every year we renew that subscription. The people who run that service earn every penny of it.
