Where should I post a restoration?
mtaylor replied to Icarus24's topic in - ** Read before you start your Scratch Build Log**
All restorations are usually put in the Scratch area in the appropriate time era. Also, add the key word to the end of the title "RESTORATION". We get restoration logs for many different models of varied quality and accuracy so don't sweat that. All ship models are welcome as well as builder of all levels. -
You might as well jump in, Lou. He'll probably be asking you for help with it (or not). Besides, you might find it useful one of your builds.

I think that's a good approach. You'll at least get to learn to use the airbrush sooner. I'm glad you liked the idea.

Pity that it'll just sit in the box, OC. What about using it for the base coat of the uniforms? <nudge, nudge, wink, wink>

HMS Bounty by Alan S
mtaylor replied to Alan S's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Alan, sometimes that's the best thing to do. As for your kit, open a log in the kit area. -
Brian, Thanks for posting those. She's coming together very well and I do like what I see there.
-
I like it also. Usually, cut outs I've seen are rather irregular but with yours I think the paint sets it off so a viewer won't think it's part of the hull. Can you post a photo from side?

Sopwith Camel by hornet - Artesania Latina
mtaylor replied to hornet's topic in Completed non-ship models
Sweet. Looks like a great kit. -
Gary, Since you're new here, a bit of guidance..... Welcome aboard MSW. All caps is considered yelling. So go with upper and lower case please. Also, don't put your email addy in a post. We get crawled by a lot of bots and it won't be long before you get horrible amounts of spam or worse. I've removed your email from your post. Do an introduction here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/3-new-member-introductions/ if you would. As for your question, you should probably ask it here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/13-discussions-for-ships-plans-and-project-research-general-research-on-specific-vessels-and-ship-types/ Having said that, I don't think the Constitution was ever on the Great Lakes.

Model shipways block buster
mtaylor replied to phil5092's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Can you post some more info Phil? Maybe a photo of what you're looking for? Is this a hand sander or powered sander? Size of the drum? -
I'd say go with your gut feeling and research, Craig. I hope you can sort the deck out before you cross the line of no return.

From here, it's been a great journey and learning experience, Eric. I'm glad you shared it. I hope the model does well in the competition as it's a beautiful tribute to your father-in-law.

Part of our problem in today's world is that back then perspective seems to have not been used. Thus, people seem to always look larger than the boat/ship.

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.
