    rekon54 Hi! What do you use to make metal eye link black? Some chemical or the paint?
  2. Dida
    Hi, Gyula! Will you post some pictures about preparing the plans? I wish you successful work. Looking forward to see your pictures.

    Thank you for re posting this beautiful build. Very clean work indeed.

    Here, in Sisak, there is an small workshop with a laser cutter bought in USA.

    The next operation is sanding. A lot of sanding.

    Russ I plan to build plank on frame model, but this is just to see in real world the hull shape.

    Very interesting description of ScatchUp use. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

    After all waterlines are glued together the hull looks like this: The cutting was performed by laser cutter.
  9. Dida
    I wanted to feel under the hand how the hull surface is running. I made "waterlines" 6 mm thick and glued them together. In right order of course. The holes in the waterline are here for accurate positioning the pieces.

    It was my bad English. I use DelftShip to define the hull's form (3D modeling) and CAD for constructional details of the ship. Do you use DelftShip or some similar software? Sorry for misunderstanding.
  11. Dida
    Hi, Russ! What software are you using to model the hull?
  12. Dida
    Nice build, Arjan. I like your approach to the building process.
  13. Dida
    You have interesting clamps when planking. Is it commercial staff or you made this by yourself?

    Thank you Bob! This time I will make complete drawing set, until last nail. In my previous build I have several improvisations because I started as soon as I finished hull form. I was very impatient to start.

    Beautiful small ship, I like this kind of vessels.

    While resting of my first scratch build, I am planing to start another ship of the same type. During the building of the previous ship I learned something about it. This time I will not start with real works until I completely finish the drawings. I started with modeling the hull using DelftSHIP Free. This is, at this moment, the idea how the ship will look like. It will be changes until I choose final version.

    I like this build! There is no limits when choosing the material for the model.

    Nice ship, Sarah! You are doing great work! You use nail polish in shipbuilding? Inventive!
  19. Dida
    Thank you Slagoon, it helped.
  20. Dida
    Is it professional version of Scetchup? Beautiful project!
  21. Dida
    I also use DelftSHIP FREE. It is good for modeling the hull and I am very satisfied with it. You can export the hull lines in DXF format and this file open in some free CAD program (Proge CAD free let's say) to make constructional details.
  22. Dida
    That is why I love this forum. Good idea, I also need this "plant".
  23. Dida
    Please, can you tell me what is minwax? What is it's use in everyday life? Thank you

    Beautiful ship Anja. Really well done, carefully and precise.

    This is good news for me, Pett: I have sharp knife and the beer is not a problem.

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.
