And yes, that it the right way to go about it. Use the thinnest line you can: I've used fine fly-tying brown line 6/0. usually crowsfeet look too clumsy on models.

Might the downward arm of the bracket be angled even a little more to echo the converging lines of the row of lights or is it just the angle of the photo that makes it appear to slope less? Looking great!

This close-up of the painting seems to show that it was 'skinned', that is to say, over-zealously cleaned at some point. Much fine detail has gone. Notice the spotty appearance of the dark paint, where the white ground is showing through and near-absence of some lines. A pity.

HMS EURYALUS by Matiz - FINISHED - scale 1:56

Love the steering gear and hammock battens! -
Good progress, Meriadoc. Your mast and sail plan look rather too tall for a vessel of that size. I'm guessing that it should shrink by 15% or a little more.

Congratulations, Tomek. An excellent result and lovely model. I hope things remain peaceful in your neighborhood.

Peregrinator indeed with all those moves! Welcome back. Yes, a few changes since the Great Crash, including a few members who have gone now to meet Davy Jones,. However, this is still a lively place to visit.

Bienvenue ici! Welcome. Your English is good, so don't worry. If the Cutty Sark was your first model, that was very well done.

Ow! Like burning down the house to get rid of a spider.... You were lucky not to ignite the whole ship. Glad you were able to repair battle damage. Another great reason to use PVA: it can be easily dissolved in rubbing alcohol. As long as you keep open flame away from it!

A very neat, one-piece solution, Siggi. Is there a reason why the steps up to the roundhouses are offset from the doorways?

Welcome aboard, Ken. Most of us have a bottle of rubbing alcohol (95% isopropanol) handy for ungluing PVA and aliphatic glue joints. Just used some a few minutes ago! Good luck re-working your inherited model.

The views down on the wrap-around balcony are very informative. Thank you for this latest installment, HH.

A novel way of launching a ship: upside down. Oh. Picture is inverted. Just regular launch ways after all! Might you consider showing your model on the ways to present your model, Gary?

Perhaps you are referring to the chesstree? It looks like a fender, but has a sheave in it for the main tack.

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.
