NAIAD 1797 by Bitao - 1:60
druxey replied to Bitao's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Lovely! -
Looks very nice, Siggi. Had you thought of painting the decorations on paper off the model and then gluing it on? Much easier than fighting gravity and getting into the inner corners!

HMS EURYALUS by Matiz - FINISHED - scale 1:56

Nice detail on the chain pump return tubes! -
Coming along well, Kevin. Hint: always rest a plane on its side. Sole down on the bench as in your photo leads to dulling the blade faster with grit and debris on the bench top.

Perhaps tone down the white a bit? Hard to tell from your photo - you might already have done that.

SOLEIL ROYAL 1669 by michel saunier
druxey replied to michel saunier's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
It is indeed sad that we have lost such a talent. I was wondering if another expert French model-maker might pick up the torch and complete this masterwork, if his family is amenable to the idea. -
spile from here to here
druxey replied to rudybob's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Before you do that, I might consider tapering the garboard back a little more. If you don't, plank widths will get 'squeezed' or tapered too much into the bow. Take a look at "A primer on planking" to see what I mean. -
An excellent result, although personally i'd like to have seen a little more 'sea-room' fore and aft of the hull. But, it's personal preference!

Festool shop vacuums - a quieter option
druxey replied to druxey's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
The Festool will cut out when the bag is full. Is that the problem? -
Festool shop vacuums - a quieter option
druxey replied to druxey's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Personally I don't like to wear headphones in the workshop. I use sound to judge if I'm overloading a power tool before it bogs down or stalls. Since acquiring a quieter vacuum, this is much easier to hear. -
Ave, Ferrus! Welcome aboard.

Getting in 'underneath' at the stern is always a bit tricky, but you should be able to adjust your masking until the line looks right when viewed from the sides.

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.
