    Looking good. Why don't you open a build log on her?
  2. mtaylor
    I think that's what's coming next after the virus.

    The second pic is the air filter for this model? If so, it's amazing.

    I'm here, better late than never. Smells like someone has popcorn.....

    Wow... that's one impressive kit.

    Welcome to MSW. I'm in agreement with the others on your grandfather's ship. You didn't say where you are so specific recommendations on finding a new home her will hard. I'd suggest you check with your local library as many of them love to have things like this to excite readers (particularly young ones).

    Excellent research and well thought out "filling in the blanks" as well as beautiful work, George.

    Keith, I just learned something from you. I never knew they had breech loading Parrots. For some reason, I thought they were all muzzle loaded.

    Wonderful work, Mario. You passed the entry test. Welcome to the Dark Side (scratch).

    I asked this in a similar topic but no answers..... I'm just curious, is there anyplace left that will sell boxwood in a size less than a huge billet? Even a 2X4 is too large for me to mill. I'm not looking for a large quantity just a few sheets for my stock. Preferably in the States since there would be less problems.

    Are you implying that you have a red union suit on under your "normal" clothing?

    Bill, Here's an old topic on furled sails. There's a pdf in it which might help. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/13903-furled-sails/ I'm adding the pdf to this post. FURLED SAILS.pdf

    You go to their website and the contact form and see if they can send you a copy: http://www.constructo.es/index.php?id_cms=20&controller=cms

    Just love this. Will there be a postern gate hidden in the rear of the castle? Usually tucked away behind a shrub or two.

    Hi Jame, welcome to MSW. I suggest you open a topic here in this section and introduce yourself.

    That is cool Cactusman. I think having her help makes her very happy, and you also.
  18. mtaylor
    You're going to be very busy as well as very happy with all that PE.

    Nice, accurate work, Egilman. And properly specced out for 75 years ago.

    Wow... a real coil spring. That is something I've not seen in plastic before. Denis, I think one of the old Ford GT40 had those metal springs or it might have one of Ferrari GT racers back then. I forget which as I did a bunch of the LeMans type cars.

    Welcome to MSW, Halfdan.

    Welcome to MSW,Rodolfo.

    Your work is an inspiration. It's just perfect.
  24. mtaylor
    So that's what Hannibal has been up to... he's an oarsman. Restricted diet I hope... like non-human.

    Ready made sails are usually way out of scale, Matthew. Too thick, seams too large, etc. What many do is use silkspan and make their own. There's several discussions here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/16-masting-rigging-and-sails/ When you go to that subforum, use the search feature and limit to that sub forum. You'll find a lot of information.

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.
