    Just to say hello. I am still here, following forum, but no time (still) to continue ...
  2. NenadM
    Wow¨!!! Do you use microscope or magic wand ?

    Hello dear friend, I am so glad you are back, and hope that "downs" are over, so you can start resolving damage on your beautiful model. It seems I reached couple of stages in front of you, but do not worry about this - boats still give me a grand head ache and head banging, and, combined with my new time-consuming Bobtail puppy (which reach 20 kg in her fourth month !!!), I slowed down. So, I am waiting for you somewhere on the main deck I hope that damage on your CS is minor and that it will not be hard to fix. If I can help with some idea ( you know I am full of them !), fell free to ask 3D printer ... do not know what to think about Your runaway piggy is on safe place under fore deck of my CS I hope to see your progress as soon as it is possible

    I am still banging my head with a way how to make boats ... trying something with laminating paper as base, not worthy to show for now until I see results
  5. NenadM
    So ... hard decision ... will you complicate your life with scratch build of boats ? They will be very very visible on finished model

    I'm in to watch and learn

    Somehow, even I had mini holliday from dec. 28th until jan 10th which I spent mainly with kids at home, my free time slided from my hands. Days full of everything, extreme cold with extreme low outside temperature comparing to average ( full week with max -10°C to -17°C ) snow 40cm, different homeworks and office works last few days, and - I hate winter! Gas and coal consumotion for heating house was also extreme. Every day I was thinking about making new plug, which do not have to last more than a hour of work, but, it seems that low temperature made empthy my energy resources. Of course, my little sweet beast which doubled her size for a month, demand some time for her. Her learning process goes well, new command almost solved (lay down). Also it seems She starts to love brushing her hair ! And She is crazy loveing to be and to play in snow. Playing with Her, I forced Her to run in yard making snowballs and hitting it in yard with apport command. Of course, She can not find snowball, but She was very happy to run throught snow and to digg it. Yesterday She brought frozen snowball I have hitted couple of days before, which She found by Her nose, smelt it and digged under snow! Really smart kid! Anyhow, I hope to procceed soon with Her Majesty's boats. Even one of them. In meantime I was thinking about avaliable material which to use for ribs and planks, still without final decision

    I realised it, Carl. as usual, on harder way, For clinker built, paper I used is too thin, and effect is missed. looking for another material or some kind of laminating ... Hello Nils. I am honored you are interested in my build. Surface of plug is varnished, and there is no glue touching plug. Ribs are glued to horizontal surface of plug with idea to cut excess later At monent, at home I have CA liquid, white glue and OHO / UHU standard home glue. CA is to strong for paper, entered deep in material and for sure will glue ribs to plug. OHO/UHU also, and it is thick and hard to manipulate in dots. So I was inpatient to start/try and I used dots of diluted white glue which do not enter through paper. White glue has feature to harden, and idea was to use this feature to harden whole structure. I am pleased with results of using white glue In Serbia ? hahahaha ... No, Mark, they only had classical school paper glue. On the other side, my friend/client has company which is exclusive representative in Serbia for "Heinkel" , including whole "Loctite" program, and I can find any kind of glue from list. In packing of 1 kg and more. So, bye 1 kg of right glue to be used only in couple of dots do not seem as god decision Analyzing what I have done, i realized that plug has to be different. Making plug, I shortened it for top railing intending to mount it later ( ... fool ...) . also I shortened it for keel. It was not good idea. Still thinking ...

    Idea was to present inside of boats half covered similar as hatches. I ask myself can I do this? I have seen boats in this scale made of wood with all content. Maybe in another life. Maybe in this life Here is present look of covered boats Also you can see that planking of boats is tricky if you want to hit this efect plank OVER plank
  14. NenadM
    I do not know, Carl. I am not satisfied with result, and this work is on the very edge of my possibility. Also I am not satisfied how copy paper reacts in touch with water based white glue for wood Little re-thinking follows ... Maybe to make it simple as it is on "real" stage: Two boats lay upside down and only planking can be seen, and two are covered ... Maybe to try another type of paper/card or another material ... Me and myself have to discuss this question
  15. NenadM
    Playing with my patience ... Just to get idea what I try to do all is made from regullary 80 gr copy paper

    Hello Marc. I am glad you find some time to move forward Playing with a FIRE without ICE near can be dangerous, particulary if Daeneris is not arround to command to flames. Maybe to use dragon's fire next time? I mean - little ant dragon ... with hairy precise fire. It can easily reach any hidem corner between ropes. There is only one noticed negative issue with dragon ants ... they do not like to be without flaming jobb longer than a minute, so you have to rigg fast

    Hello Piet. All the best my friend. I think I wrote earlier that your submarine work has a piece of quilty turning me to devil's road of miniature work

    Rhea ordered first

    Hello Denis and Mark. You are correct: Plug method I will play. But, production line will not be possible. Among four boats, only two are equial, so I have to make three diferent plugs. Fun.

    Happy New Year my friend! I think a lot and read a lot about OES before I bring my decision to have Rhea, and I think I am ready for this entertainment. Even now with Her baby hair, every day I brush Her several times, to learn that brush and comb do not bite and to try to learn Her that brushing is fun. My thoughts went in this direction: kids will leave house in a couple of years, and I will stay alone with more free time for walking etc etc. My Admiral passed, so I need a close friend in home to fill my free time. On another side, my office is in my house, so I need a dog mainly friendly to other people with good temperament, not agressive. At same time, I prefer bigger and more hairy dog than I had before. OES are rare in Serbia (only 3 trusted breeders) and I had to reserve my puppy before she was born, and to wait 6 months for Her When I have meet Rhea the first time, I was sure my decision is good. That sad and smart eyes!!! That soft hair! The nicest in the whole universe! And it seems She is very smart. She will live in house, having 700m2 yard arround for her needs and playing Anyhow, any advice about OES is more than wellcome! Thank you for tips and your interest

    Happy New Year to all of you, my friends! Here is quite, some kind of winter vacations between 01-10 january. Courts do not work, people mainly do not work between New Year and Orthodox Cristmas ( jan. 07), so, even I want to work, I do not have nobady to work with or against. Anyhow, Hothead is also at home those days, Princess has four free days, and we spend many nice moments together, playing wirh Rhea and meeting friends and relatives Rhea is smart one. At today She has full three months, and already knows commands: No, left it, go out, sit, bring, come First serious snow falls, and she is happy to the sky playing and running outside. For month and half She is with us, She doubled herself! I found some time for me to continue my build, and first base for first boat is done. Four layers and a lot of hand works. And those beautifull smelt of sawdust after long time !

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.
