Wirth all due respect, Kevin, after your previous accident, isn't it a bit risky carrying your model outside to photograph it? Also, that coffee mug on your workbench makes me nervous for you!

Painted in place, that friezework on the curved bulkhead is exceptional. Frohe Ostern, indeed, Siggi!

Could be worse; autocorrect might have made it 'gold rash', 'good rush' or even (shudder) 'geld crush'. In any case, welcome aboard, KJ.

Steven, I totally understand the difficulty of a euphroe at that scale; it would probably disintegrate. Time to have another chat with your 17-year-old self about a more suitable choice of scale!

And don't forget the Valkenisse in the MFA collection!

A couple of fine models are also in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, now I come to think of it.

Crowsfeet at this size without a euphroe are very awkward as you can't tension the whole system at the same time as one would on the real thing.

Welcome to this forum, Sam. (Your name is not unknown to some of us here!) There are other notable models in other collections as well, including the private Kriegstein collection in the U. S. and the public Art Gallery of Ontario Thomson ship model collection.

En anglais, SVP, Bernard! Merci. Translation; "I have discovered this magnificent subject. Let me show you my interpretation of Soleil Royal's figure based on Berain's drawings made in resin at various scales."

Lovely work. I note that you are rigging from aft forward. I've always rigged in the other direction. Is there a rationale for working forward as you do?

Planking glues
druxey replied to ChiefCarr's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Allan: PVA is colorless when dry, and aliphatic is slightly colored. Personal preference. That said, I do use yellow (aliphatic) for really critical structural joints. There is little difference in bond strength. but aliphatic is far more moisture resistant. -
Looking terrific! Again, it's hard to believe the detail at the scale you are building this model to.

Planking glues
druxey replied to ChiefCarr's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Rubber cement is not, alas a permanent adhesive. It may last several years, but.... There are a range of options, but I use white (polyvinyl acetate) glue for most wood applications in model-making. Others may have other preferences, but I'd also avoid cyanoacrylate (crazy) glues. -
Practice makes perfect! Your model is looking very neat and good.

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.
