    So, between two home works ... at 19:00 on 310C in shadow and 75% humidity. sitting in home yard drinking some cold Ness, bathing in my own sweat and tears ... and thinking about Her ..... Prize question - who is She I am thinking of ?

    Thx Mark, I am also satisfied how it goes. Color is almost there, reflections are present, basic coopering structure is caught and kept, rivets visible, plates almost in scale with rivets present ... Considering circumstances that riveting in exact and real scale is impossible ( 0,03-0,02 mm per rivet) and I wanted rivets to be presented, I think I hit right proportion of plates, rivets, lines to match to my artistic idea. Of course, when I finish second side, there will be light dark green transparent layer of acrylic, and mat transparent acrylic warnish. Idea is to try to simulate present color on CS with present but semi-kiled reflections Wish me luck in this

    Nice work on hull. Keep on and go on!

    You are following C-plans, it means some significant time distance, so my vote for black. But, color of ropes go throught. White for contrast?

    Thx Bob, I am asking myself same question from time to time. It seems that trick is in production material and method which allow to "rivet" one side of several pieces in one single pass, so during 2 hours of drawing, riveting and cutting, you can make 500-700 ready plates. in next stage, you dont need more than 30 sec to put glue with brush on hull, uncover protective foil from plate, and put plate on place. Sure, after first 1000 you get some routine, and whole process is faster

    Without macro photos, we can not express small details we want to describe. But macro photos are our enemy because brightly show us details we must/don't see/want to correct after taking picture. Keep on good work, my friend, I'm watching carefully, learning and thinking about new torture for you and me

    Bob, see Shipaholics topic ... and welcome to Club .. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/474-therapy-for-shipaholics/#entry5142 I agree, extra fun with elements of infatuation and obsession First symptom ( presented in my case) is ... first thing in the morning when get up and start to drink morning coffee is to take a cellphone and visit MSW and see what are new posts ...
  15. NenadM
    My fault Bob, not yours. I infected you with the rashness ... Nice fix. It would not be visible at all. I decided to live with much bigger mistakes on inside bulwarks, so, go on in excellent work Nenad

    Almost 20 km of underground defense structure in several levels, ready for 10.000 soldiers, 500 guns and 6000 citizens. Amazing facts. Only 2 km opened for public ... Real touristic treasure sleeping in darkness !!?!? Same situation with Kalemegdan fortress in Belgrade http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgrade_Fortress

    My English ... "lawn" ... I mean GORE STRAKE ... sorry, I hope my last post now has some meaning ... Today in Novi Sad town with Hothead, and we visited old fortress of Petrovaradin, Novi Sad is main city if Vojvodina province, famous by his history and EXIT festival which just has finished (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_festival) Little history of fortress ( from Wiki) The first larger fortifications were created with the arrival of the Romans who built the fortress. The fortress was strengthened due to the threat of Turkish invasion, but felt after a two-week siege in 1526. The Austrian Army captured it again after 150 years of Turkish control during the Great Turkish War in 1687, and began to tear down the old fortress and build new fortifications according to contemporary standards. In 1692, the Hofkriegsrath ordered engineers to Petrovaradin to investigate the area in order to build a new fortress. Count Keysersfeld received both financial and personnel support. On September 9, 1694, the Grand Vizier Sürmeli Ali Paşa arrived at Petrovaradin Fortress from Belgrade. A siege of 23 days was laid on, however poor weather conditions in October forced the Turkish forces to retreat towards Belgrade with their task left unfinished. New plans were developed in 1751 and major works began in 1753 and lasted until 1776. After the completion of the Petrovaradin Fortress, there was never any further threat from Turkish forces, and fortress is pretty preserved and in good shape And some photos

    Intruder in office ... new attorney prentice ... Yesterday the drawer behind Him was opened, and He was inside ?!?!?!? Today, near the drawer Back to plates, plates, plates I was analyzing this photo First eight lines of plates from waterline to keel are without gore strakes "lawns" (?). Only between the eighth and ninth row gore strakes lawns start ( red arrows). So, even I step away from regular coopering procedure, when curvature starts, I decide to try to "push" gore strakes lawns as down under waterline as much as it is possible, to the place where them are not visible when model comes from down to up. On the same edge of bow toward stern, you can see almost parallel rows of plates, without visible gore strakes "lawns" near edge, and I decided to try to make this Did I succeed ? I think - yes

    Thx Harvey My favorite games are/were : AoE, Descent, Tom Rider I-V, F-16/M-29, and Call of Duty I,II,III multy-player on NET After that my own computer can not run modern games ( 8 years old, but good enough for business to run in same time ESET, MSWord, OutlookExpress, Thunderbird, MSAccess, MSExel, Chrome, Skype, Adobe acrobat, Winfax, etc etc without freezing my PC), and it was more important to renew Admirals and Children computers and to bye laptop than to renew my own PC), so there was online chess on cellphone, crossed with paper Sudoku before starting work on Her Majesty We all enjoy in playing, are we ? I was little overfull/overload/overcharged by plates, and little rest I needed evoking memories and forming a index/content of log, and today I`ll continue with plates. Tomorrow one day trip to Novi Sad ( 80 km from Belgrade - not to EXIT festival which is currently running) with Hothead about continuation of his bachelor/master study there. It is opportunity to visit great fortress of Petrovaradin, but festival runs there, and a crowd ....

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.
