there shouldn't be that much curvature. what you can do is: rib #4 - the beam cemented flush with the top of the posts ribs #5-6-7 the beams can be cemented on the tops of the posts. sand the chamber for the water run off, and take down any high spots {rib #1 may need to have this done} there is a slight curve upward at the bow, so don't despair if you don't get it all. hope this helps out.

I commented on that earlier Nenad.........when you fit the deck out more......get the pin rails on, and get her looking busy, I really don't think it's going to show that badly. your doing a fantastic job! exactly........the next build will be better. you've had enough set-backs........time to see you smile!- 4,151 replies

I'm not so bad........I love a good roller coaster. when I get up on a roof, I need to walk around a bit to get my 'legs'.......after that I'm fine. I haven't had to do stuff like that for quite a while now.......I might be a bit daunted. we went to a concert a few years ago.......our seats were wayyyyyyyyyyyyy up in the 'nosebleed' section. cripes......felt like I was going to slide off the edge! don't lean over the railing..........I joked around about it for a bit. don't think anyone was amused when I hollered out 'Avalanche'!- 4,151 replies

you came through your problem quite well! the structure looks awesome if you have any floppy discs lying around, the disc filament would be perfect...........look at Peter Visser's build of the Zeechouw. it works quite well

the only time I've run into a problem, is when I put in a new cartridge. usually I run a picture or two through it, use up some of the ink, and then once when I go to use it, to get the ink moving. I tried the idea of diluted white glue, and found out what it does......that's why i use the decal bonder. I let it sit for a bit to dry, and then I spray it with the bonder........it dries very quickly, and doesn't give the ink time to become solvent and bleed. a light coat to lock it in........another coat to seal it. when the flag is cut out, it helps quite a bit with the fraying issues that can happen. the flag will be two sided, so it is folded over the thread and white glue can be used to do this. it can be stitched as well at this point.

I'm not talking about decals......I'm talking about printing right on the sail cloth. let it set a while for the ink to dry, and then hit it with the bonder......I notice that this product can be purchased separately now. Testors this is the basic decal maker......if you read the description, it will tell you how to get the standard edition {which is what I have} the basic will not allow you to import images and designs, but the standard one will. from there you can alter it and change it to whatever you want, and it even comes with some common decal designs and insignias

your getting there Nenad.......little by little. can you get a flat lacquer where you live? it will dry flat and bring out the grain all at the same time. where I live, I can get a white primer....it would make it easier to repaint that aft bulkhead. lite colored primer.....is the key- 4,151 replies

so, you need to remove that one as well. would it help you, {repaint and make your marks} if you were to make a jig for the height that the windows should be at. just a small piece of flat stock cut to the height that the frame should be. make the marks for the centering and with the structure flat on the table, lay the jig against the front of it. locate the part using the centering marks and the jig. there is also slow setting CA out there on the market. what were you going to put in the frames? darkened cello? you could also use the same jig on all the windows, so they will all be at the same height.

so....the plot thickens.......I'm thinking that it did a bit more than remove paint.......am I right?

I've run sail cloth through the printer...........I have the the Testor's decal maker. I import the flag design, size it with the program, and then print. then I spray it with the decal bonder to prevent the ink from running. it's easy to shape after it is assembled on the rigging.

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.
