This whole thing is reminiscent of a situation that occured a few years back in the RC model aircraft world. One or two manufacturers of full scale civilian aircraft started to make a big deal out of people building models of their planes. Could you imagine being sued for building a model of a 2 seat airplane designed in 1958? The movement apparently died ---- or at least no one paid attention and no enforcement ever took place. In the vast majority of cases, this type of 'infringement' serves to give positive publicity to the original party. Such as pictures of a kit box. Plans should be a different story but only if they are distributed for commercial purposes.

Seas are getting a little heavy for my taste. I just consider anything I put on MSW to be in the public domain (except for my cracks about Popeye's hair).

Bleaching your wood
augie replied to JPett's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I agree with Bob on using the prestain. It certainly helps eliminate the 'blotchiness' you sometimes get during staining. But I'm pretty sure JP had something else going on there. -
This should be interesting, Popeye. I wasn't aware of the problem with the decking joints. Your idea to replace the deck with wood sounds like a really viable upgrade and I'm looking forward to seeing it....I'll be following. Oh, who is that kid working on your ship?

We, of the Clorox Brotherhood, salute you! But did you really need the lavender scented version? Personally, if the problem is resolved, I wouldn't go overboard on ALL the planks. -

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.
