Echo by Maury S - FINISHED - Cross-Section
druxey replied to Maury S's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Some rhodings were open above, allowing one to slip the axletree down into it. Obviously this won't work on the cistern ones, but Greg's solution should do the trick. I guess it's a case of festina lente - make haste slowly!- 324 replies

You should have four left over, Maury. Let's hope so!- 324 replies

While the various citations are one thing, contemporary model rigging is another! Various museum models of the period have the ratlines carried across all the shrouds. One might argue that some rigging is not completely original, but this pattern seems consistent.

Don't worry; the new holly will tone down to match the older planking. I like the view of the chain leading into the tube seen through the side of the cistern. Nice!

I guess Toni got you all pumped! (Sorry about that.) Your work on the axletrees, cranks and rhodings looks excellent, Maury.- 324 replies

US Brig Syren by knightyo
druxey replied to knightyo's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1801 - 1850
Pewter, if cast, has a surface deposit on it from the mold that inhibits the blackening agent. I abrade the castings with a 3M rotary 'spider', 400 grit, before blackening. That does the trick. -
Too what degree are shrouds and stays served
druxey replied to markjay's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
B.E.: you are correct. That should have read 7". It is the lower shroud deadeyes that are 10" (in diameter!) TFFM is not entirely error free. I believe that the author wrote a disclaimer to infallibility in the preface! -
Euphoria is allowed, as well as a warm glow of pride! Well done, Ed.

Bilge Pumps 1870/80
druxey replied to GAW's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
Persistence is paying off, I see! Is there a name for this pump design other than 'Wallace'? -
Good stuff, Toni! Those chain pumps look good enough to raise water.

Nothing like having curves thrown at you (pun intended!). -

Looks like you have the right mind-set as you reconstruct the lines, John. What you show looks convincing to me! -
I'm thoroughly enjoying your posts and progress, Clare. It's nice to see something different being constructed.

Ed: I'm curious as to why you used scale width planks if you are going to sheath the lower hull. Beautiful job as usual, though.

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.
