    Well on the way to closing the gap now, Ben!

    The transoms are scored on to the sternpost and inner post. The knee is then scored on the inner faces of the transoms once they have been faired.
  3. druxey
    Yes, Christian. On this draught the sternson knee (extension of the keelson), extends up to the underside of the wing transom.

    Looking very nice, Chuck.

    Thanks for the kind compliment, Dave. Glad you like the book.

    An interesting strategy: I hope this works out well for you. I suppose another possibility is to not glue one side of the spacers so that the frames 'float' with any dimensional change.

    Good to see you back. Polish with what, Michael: pumice or rottenstone? The repairs above looks great!

    The method Mike describes is how planking is often carried out on full-size hulls. I'd be reluctant to do this on a model hull for, unless one is extremely precise to the mark-out, one might end up with a skinny or fat space to fill. Or, worse yet, a wiggly strake of planking.

    Amazing! It almost looks like an authentic, legitimate Lorch! Well done, wefalck.
  10. druxey
    Progress! Good stuff, Ben.
  11. druxey
    And how did the drink taste? Great re-purposing, welfalck!

    You will have better control and results if you clamp the drawplate and use both hands to pull the material through.

    Nice going, Mike. Every model we build teaches us more!

    Coming along beautifully, Albert! Merry Christmas indeed.

    Check the pinned planking tutorials on this site.

    Merry Christmas, Maury!

    Looks like things are moving now, Ben! Merry Christmas and happy modelmaking.

    Almost fully automated modelling, hjx! My only concern would be the amount of scrap wood generated. Could one move the pieces closer together to mill them out?
  19. druxey
    Looking lovely, Chuck. My own method of avoiding 'hourglassing' is to tie every tenth ratline first, then every fifth, then third and lastly the remaining alternate ones. You can see right away if things start to pull in and it's easy to correct. Season's best wishes to you and the family.

    Frohliche Weinachten also, Christian!
  21. druxey
    The result will depend on your thread size. You will need to make up a trial length of line and measure its diameter. This (at scale size), x 3.1416 will give you the line size.
  22. druxey
    Now, that is a novel way of drilling out the hawseholes! You mill-men!
  23. druxey
    A very happy holiday season to you, Kevin. You are nearly there with the framing!
  24. druxey
    Thanks for all the pleasant moments you've given me this year each time you've posted progress, Ed. The latest on the top is great: I had no idea that there were so many fairleads through one of these. Lovely, simply lovely work.

    Lovely work, Roger!

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.
