Thanasis got a reaction from Captain Shaun in Making Shackles my way…
Thank you all for your comments mates.
wefalck . Thank you also for your notice.
Well, believe it or not I wasn't even thinking to involved with ship modeling back in 1980 (at my 18) therefore at that time I wasn't following any ship modeling magazine and especially in German language, which I don't speak or write.
Wanting or not to accuse me, and being (me) a bad user of the English language, what really bothers me in your notice, is your words "probably" (I don't read German) and the "exactly" (same technique).
By those words what I get, is that you have doubts whether this technique is not a copy and you decided to share it with the forum.
I really can't read the text in the pdf of your link, so apart from what I can see (a drawing which shows a piece of wire being flattened at its edges - what else someone could think at first making shackles), I would like to translate the text and point me out the "exact" same procedure.
Many thanks

Thanasis got a reaction from Archi in Thimbles
Hi.
John here's my tip, fast and cheap.
Take a piece of relatively soft wire at a thickness close to the side of the thimble you want to create.
By the "side" I mean the part of the thimble that it will stay uncovered when the thread (rope) is placed.
Fold the wire in two pieces and make a loop around a rod in a proper - required diameter.
Cut the rest of the wire and apply some ca glue between the formed loops.
Then with a fine file, make flat the curved edges at the side and you've have your thimble...
Thx

Thanasis reacted to GeorgeKapas in Mahmudiye by GeorgeKapas - FINISHED - 1/350 - Ottoman Ship of the Line
Thank you all!!! Oh well, Karteria is well underway, but unfortunatelly rather stalled due to the lack of details of the Brent plans.... We'll see how it goes...The water is made by by applying tissue paper and woodglue into a few layers, and then form the waves with a brush. I found something similar done online and developed a method of my own based on that, to me it seems quite bizzare that not many do it like that.. anyway. The deck is simply a patern I drew on MS paint and printed it in black and white, then painted it with acrylics and sealed it with enamel clear coat. Nowdays I make another small model of the "La Couronne" (1636) mostly for my own pleasure, testing some new methods and materials, but in the general philisophy of these builts. I'll make a thread soon enough!

Thanasis reacted to System13 in Identify-name these rigs
1- Staysail Schooner
2- Schooner Brig or Brigantine
3- Difficult because I've never seen this configuration. It's not a lateen sail as the yard doesnt, cross the mast, it's not a sliding gunter sail because it's not verical enough at the main mast tops. Maybe a military houari?
4- also Staysail Schooner

What I have for now can't promise 100% accuracy, but I'm sure it'll get better with input

Hi.
According to my library, Those blind chain plates, seem like additional suport (beneath) for the channels themself.
The eyebolts could be fitted for general use...(?).
