    It got my curiosity up.. Goggled "Dr. Brodum" "botanical syrup" 1800 . The good doctor wasn't a doctor and his name wasn't Brodun but Issachar Bear Cohen. Some of the ingredients he used would get probably 20 years in prison.

    Keith, are these fore and aft? I'm thinking lifting lugs when they need to pull the boat out of the water.

    I used MK boat (1/74 if I remember right) for my Licorne build. I did rescale the plans and then cut the parts for boat.

    I hope you'll open a log for it.

    Wonderful work on her, Edward. Pity it has to go into storage.

    Welcome to MSW, James. Doing a build log is one of the best tools. Have a look here at the first four topics. It should give you an idea of the essentials and the ones not to buy. http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-materials-and-tools.php

    I wish you a full recovery. Don't overdo on the ship as rest will help your body heal.

    That you and your family are not infected is good new, Jack. I hope it remains that way.

    I looked at the picture before reading the text and the only thing I could think was... "Ow.. that's gotta' hurt". The shields and crew are coming along nicely.

    Vladimir, I hope these links will help... There might be more as just searched using "cutty sark" and "photos". https://modelshipworld.com/topic/23303-cutty-sark-photos-of-the-real-ship-taken-while-visiting/ https://modelshipworld.com/topic/21326-on-board-of-the-cutty-sark https://modelshipworld.com/topic/6858-revealing-cutty-sark-pictures-you-may-not-have-seen-yet You might also check the various build logs on the Cutty Sark.

    Keith, the iron work looks spot on.

    You could also use an alligator clip. They pull the heat off also and pretty quick.

    Eric, If you know how long you the boats, then you'll know for the kit. MS makes some and so does MasterKorbel. I think the MS would work just due to the design where the MK would be best for frigate unless heavily modified. As for MS, if they don't have the size you need, if you have a scanner you can scan the parts and then scale them to the size you need.

    Mark, The simple way to think of it is... two angles... the deck for inside, and the sheer for outside. I don't remember who but this was pointed out when I did Licorne. Sadly, I just remembered that even though I've been watching this whole time.

    Wait.. What? No time off for good behavior??????

    Hi Paul, Welcome to MSW. Nice work on the boat.

    Check here: https://www.syrenshipmodelcompany.com/ You might consider a ropewalk if you'd like to make your ownl.

    Well that should work. Less noisy than a mine field.

    Don't know if this will help....

    The more things change, the less they really do.

    Jack, When you're done with the bird, unless it's in a case, hang a sigh with something like "Do not touch. The rotors do not turn. " And maybe some threatening words like they will suffer extreme harm from you fearless watch dogs.

    Al, Here's a link where there's several articles on tools needed, tools to ignore, etc.: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-materials-and-tools.php

    I'm in agreement with the others. Looks great.
  24. mtaylor
    I have no idea. When I built my CH-53, I looked for after market parts. I ended up overseas in eastern Europe. There's a caveat to this... the CH-53 is NOT a popular model so after market would be hard to find. Edit: I see you started a separate topic for this question. I was going to suggest it but you beat me to it.

    Most don't use thread for caulking because of the shredding. They paint (or use a black "magic" marker) on the side of the plank before installing it.

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.
