This (word) hulc is pronounced like that dignified name?

I thought that a bodger was a person who made rustic furniture, usually chairs. But we digress - yet again! Back to business: you seem to be quicker and quicker at carving out and painting your figures. I love the latest ones astride the yard!

Welkom, Daniël!

Borked? What a lovely word for a bad situation. Yes, if the paint has not dried after several days, it's definitely borked, shot, dead - whatever you want to call it. Perhaps you can retrieve the situation using solvent or paint stripper to get the mess off your model. Experiment ofn a small area first, though. The least aggressive solvent that will move it is the best. Is there a reason you would not use a universal spray primer?

Alas, my trusty OED was not helpful on this point. Nef comes from the Latin nave, and can mean a hollow space, hence the nave of a church. There seems to be no specific meaning in ship type. Hulc, was apparently a specific ship type, given in a list of other ship types in the 1480's but, frustratingly, gives no definition of the type either! Sorry, ladies and gentlemen.

Is this to be a Snark or Boojum? I look forward to the Incredible (in the original sense of the word!) Hulc.

I think that you are correct, Tony. Great image for detail, though!

The other reason for that forward extension was for a spot that the leadsman could stand on while taking soundings.

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.
