    Impressive progress, Patrick!

    Very nice blocks, strops and spans!

    And to you also, Ed! Thank you for your contributions to our knowledge this year.

    Looks like you need to find the piece and glue it back, if you can. Otherwise, yes, a replacement. You need a solid 'landing' for the planks later. Be extremely light on those cross-grain areas!

    Lovely work, Ben!

    Beautifully made and finished, Karl.

    The ornamental serving - called puddening - was an anti-chafing measure to prevent iron rubbing directly against the anchor cable.

    Must just be optical illusion, then!

    Puddening! Nice, Maurys.

    Aie! That is some complex mini-machining. Good to see you back at work on Wespe, Wefalck.

    Please take care of yourself first, Michael!

    That's impressive freehand work on the lifelines. I'd have used a curved template as a steady!

    'Scooch' is a new term to me, Toni! Very nice work on the turning stairs and handrails. Is it the angle of the photo or is the posterior aspect of the rudderhead cover skewed?

    I found some foil in a roll at Michaels - a craft shop chain in N. America. As you don't show where you live, I don't know if that's of any help to you or not!

    Nice to see you back at it, John.

    Read some of the planking tutorials that are 'pinned' on this site, such as Antscherl's 'Primer on Planking'. These should answer your questions, Don.

    That is the 64,000 dollar question. Volume I was many, many years in the making. It could be as long until Volume II appears. I do agree that Volume I is a very valuable source of information.

    Lovely, Ben!

    And the season's greetings to you as well, Dick. I look forward to seeing how you solve the half deck issue.

    Heat alone will not expand the wood - humidity will.

    A rheostatically controlled soldering iron and moisture works for me on Castello boxwood, aka S.A. Boxwood.
  22. druxey
    What specie of wood are you using?
  23. druxey
    I suppose you will need to balance 'conservation' with 'restoration' on those lines. I'd be inclined to replace the obvious bad repairs and line that are not original to the model. You will still have the photographic record of them anyway. Does your client have an opinion on this?
  24. druxey
    Neatly done. Are you happy with the color match now?
  25. druxey
    Looking forward to seeing the completed case, Mike! Happy holidays.

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.
