Unfortunately, these cutter plugs are no longer available. But they are reusable so perhaps someone might wish to part with theirs.

dvm27 replied to Jeronimo's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Quite a difference, Karl. It takes a lot of confidence to do the cut out at this point in the construction process. Well done! -
Glad to hear all is well with you Remco. Burnout is inevitable with a project like a Swan class model. Look forward to future updates of whatever.

Your beaded edges are so lovely, Siggi. I assume you use some sorn of form/scraper tool?

Having them laser cut certainly makes the job of making and installing them symmetrically much easier. She's looking terrific, Mike!

Stunning work, as usual, Karl. I'm wondering how you managed to keep all the ballast in place. Dilute white glue? -
Very nice job, Toni. I am currently using the three silver solder pastes available from Beaducation https://www.beaducation.com/pc/393-jewelry-making-tools-soldering-fusing-tools with three different melting points. Also, consider their set of soldering pics. They work very well. There are some excellent videos on silver soldering on this site. I also found that using Sparex or white vinegar/salt soln to etch the brass after silver soldering creates a more uniform blackening.

Dr. Mike is a gifted model maker but some of his techniques are a bit...unusual. For example, in video 78, minute 28:02, he is using a toaster to heat planks for bending. He retrieves them when ready with a curved surgical clamp. I'm quite certain I recall my mother telling me never to stick anything metallic into a plugged in toaster that's actually in the process of toasting but she sometimes was a worry wort. Perhaps Russian toasters are different than US toasters?

Gold standard, Marsalv! Will this model grace your home or a museum? -

Those carvings are beautifully executed, Jeronimo. Equally, your painting within the panels in black is superbly done and sets them off nicely. -

I think it's very hard to add convincing looking sails to a fully rigged model. But you certainly make it look easy Marsalv. they look just right with the back lighting. -
Looking good, Charlie. I suppose it's nice to have the increased surface area provided by a solid hull but I think a plank on frame hull is easier to do!

The cast frames look terrific, Chuck! Those wishing to add treenails to their cross section may find it easier to do before the frames are raised.

Very well written and illustrated, Chuck! Your a la carte method of building provides plenty of choices for builders.

Lovely work as ever, Amalio. I am very impressed that you've preplaced all those hanging knees prior to the deck beam installation and all appear to be at the proper height and angle.

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.
