Great impression, Keith! And yes, wefalk, 'modern' synthetic is braided rather than spun. However, I suppose one strand of spun line could be colored to give the correct impression.

Bow shape of Le François 1683 and La Néréïde 1722
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Thank s for these examples, Waldemar. Would you consider that some of these curves may also have been made using a tapered batten pulled, bow fashion, into a curve? -
Congratulations and well done, Toni. Lovely result of a sweet subject. Of course, now the the question is; what next?

Bow shape of Le François 1683 and La Néréïde 1722
druxey replied to Waldemar's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Very instructive, Waldemar! Thank you for that. I've been studying English derivation of ship's lines in the 1680's. Many curves are based on circular arcs, but not all. Some are based on the cono-cuneus curve. -
Superb work as ever, Keith. Perhaps I missed this; but how did you replicate the color-coded synthetic line?

At this point you can probably rig this mast in your sleep. Perhaps that's what you dream about anyway!

Nice to see you back, Michael. You can always post the GWR coach build log on "Shore leave" - hint!

A slitting saw blade on a table saw. Heat-softening the brass first and some wax while cutting will help. Mounting the brass on a sacrificial wood backing will also ease the job.

Welcome aboard indeed! 31 years so far on your model? Good things take time.

No, you are not having a senior moment! It would be difficult to do, as only the 'dead flat' in the end-on elevation drawing is given. Yes, you have the sheer (in elevation) and half-breadth (in plan) as well, but that tells you nothing about the changing sectional shapes. They may be inferred from the planking runs - if accurately drawn - but that is a s much as one can squeeze out of that plan. Perhaps a similar lifeboat drawing that has the station sections might help.

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.
