A Latina: Harvey Baltimore Clipper missing pieces
ASAT replied to Canuck8's topic in Wood ship model kits
That’s great Brian, this is also a great justification for keeping all the plans and unused materials from all of my builds. I can’t tell you how many times the wife wanted to “throw all that junk out” 😎Also I would like to encourage you to consider starting a build log, that’s another awesome opportunity to share your progress and and receive encouragement and guidance on the multitude of processes involved in our craft. Plus we get to see pictures!!😀👍 -
Well I decided to give it a shot and ordered one, they’re back ordered! I didn’t find out till the order went through so now I have to wait- two weeks they said..... we’ll see..... they did give me a discount coupon for my next order for the inconvenience though, pretty cool of them!

Model Shipways kit of gunboat Philadelphia
ASAT replied to Ed Mostowicz's topic in Wood ship model kits
Nah, they’ll take care of ya, might take a bit but they will get you sorted.... -
Oh come on Vane, those margin planks are a piece of cake! Well, not really but they are a skill we need to learn, really sets a deck apart....if it wasn’t a lot of work, it wouldn’t feel so great when it’s done and looking awesome! I don’t know about you, but to me, Master Shipwright and laser etched deck are kind of mutually exclusive.... no disrespect to you, Chris, or Vanguard Models intended. Just my own opinionated opinion.... 😀😁

And how negotiations are going for the release of Bellona and other CAF models? -
Dude can build a ship model, do doubt about it.... So cool that you are giving everyone a chance to do something like this, awesome Chuck!

Chris have you pre ordered your copy of John McKay’s new Sovereign book? Have you still a fondness enough for SoS to develop an all new version complete with CNC/ laser or 3d printed decoration set? 😀J/K - but that’s one that needs to be re done well..... I may have to look for an older Sergal kit - pre laser deck and gunport strips.... kitbash it to Mckay’s drawings. Still need a good embellishments set though.....

Hey Jeff, or anyone that has actually used this slip - I’m interested but is it accurate? Can I slide the bulkhead upright guide into place and Have complete confidence that everything is square, level, and fair? Or do I have to get out my small square, or my machined blocks and verify that everything is in perfect position? If I have to do that I might as well just square up the bulkhead like I always do and move on.... in other words does this jig stay in alignment as you start using it or does it need to be “trued” every time you move it? Is it really effective or is it just nice to have? Thanks guys....

A Latina: Harvey Baltimore Clipper missing pieces
ASAT replied to Canuck8's topic in Wood ship model kits
Canuck, sorry I took so long to check this for you- I hope this still helps you out. I do have that laser cut sheet, in fact I have 2 - attached is a pic, let me know which you would like - there is a lighter walnut sheet and a darker one, the darker one looks a bit more splintery, (you can see what I mean on the left of the darker one) so if you don’t care I would get the lighter one.... I would give you both but you never know who else might need one..... if you hear of anyone let me know - I have two 1/2 more of these left. -
Yeah, you’re gonna be planking underneath those ply pieces and over the top of the as well..... smooth and fair is the key, not representing every nuance of the curvature of the hull.... it is only 1/64 scale after all..... by the time you finish this gal, you will be amazed at the things you obsessed over but really don’t affect the outcome of the model. 💛😀

I’ll look in my stash, I built this model and scratched a bunch of stuff so I may have some of it ..... -
Hi Tom, Welcome to MSW! I have been authorized by the admiral to procure some new ship models, I am extremely interested in your designs and am wondering what kind of time frame you are expecting to release your Bellona, Le Requin, La Belle, etc. What is the status of the sessions still not released?( 5th session of Bellona, 5 and 6 sessions of Le Renommee). Also are you planning on any English translations for the included documentation? I have a feeling you are going to be busy producing lots of kits once a few build logs start here on MSW..... I plan to be among them!

Chris, Isn’t it about time to reveal the identity of your third Sloop/Brig/??? offering. That one puts me one step closer to the 50/74 Gun Frigate I’m lusting for, however if this next project is a bit larger than the first two and offered in a Master Shipwright edition I could be tempted to purchase both - I think you mentioned that the frigate’s would be too cost prohibitive to offer a Master level kit right?
-
I was just jokin, Chuck.... I know mine get dirty cause I use cyano for planking and a graphite pencil for caulking.... when they both get on your fingers it’s a mess.... but I do the same as you Chuck..... 320 and WOP when I am done for the sitting.....

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.
