I suspect you're right about the stove being a Brodie or equivalent. The supply chains back then for major items weren't very fast.

Shelby 427 S/C Cobra by CDW - FINISHED - Fujimi - 1:24 Scale
mtaylor replied to CDW's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Yep, it was the florescent light. What huge difference. -
That does sound like the military coffee I had in some places, but not all.

Randy, I suggest you open a build log of your own for this model.

CNC Desktop Router Reviews

I think the old saying applies: "If at first you don't succeed, read the instruction manual." Been there myself many times. -
Add to that, China does NOT recognize US patents/copyrights or patents/copyright from any place other than China. This is not the US patent office fault but China's.

Both Gilmer and Cook are excellent sources. If there is something special in wood you're looking for, drop them a note and ask if they're planning on getting more. Or just check the sites like once a week. In the past, I noticed that some species would sell out pretty quick, so it's sometimes a bit hit and miss.

John, I'd put another post here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/26-plastic-model-kits/ Hope you can find a set of plans.

Sort of like military coffee then? Came in semi-liquid and "chewy" n the various line shacks and mess halls as I recall.

I have a small WeCheer model 242. Made in Taiwan and if I remember right, I bought on Amazon. Dremel collets fit nicely and it has multispeeds which I usually only ending using the slowest two speeds. THe other advantage to me is that it's small (5" long) and light weight. It is cord powered. These also seem to show up at many beauty supply sources. There's two kinds, one with a 90 degree collet and the other with the "straight out" collet at the end.

Is there such a thing as "too strong" coffee?

Cheerful build on hold....drop plank phobia
mtaylor replied to bigcreekdad's topic in Wood ship model kits
I'm there with you on my Belle Poule. I don't know how many planks I've cut and tossed. But I'll keep at it. Just trying to make sure I don't do the same things over and over again and expect different results as that's where insanity lies. -
I would suggest that maybe set your cardboard spraybooth up near a window that can be opened and use a window or even a box fan blowing out.

TMJ. Get a copy of Historic Ship Models by xu Mondfeld. The most inexpensive place is Ebay though Amazon might also be a good source. It has a good breadkown of the various bits and pieces of period sailing ships. There are some errors but one can follow up with a Google search if something seems "off". -
I do believe we have a few here who had experience with bone glue but I'm not one of them. I'd suggest opening a topic here and see what answers you might get: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/18-modeling-tools-and-workshop-equipment/ I did a search on bone glue and found these two logs which might help. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/27614-prisoner-of-war-bone-model-c-1800-by-shipmodel-restoration-by-dan-pariser/#comment-794900 https://modelshipworld.com/topic/1749-hmy-royal-caroline-1749-by-tarjack-made-from-bone-m-1-50/

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.
