Welcome back, Keith and it's great the recovery went well. The model looks great.

Valid point. Plus you'll have two deductibles to meed.. this year and next year. The sad part is, it's probably going to get worse than better.

It's been awhile since I've Adam post. I hope he's okay and just busy. -
Or, you can do it the hard way, manually (on the computer). Scan the image, open in appropriate program (I use CorelDraw) and manually trace what I want. Takes time but no artifacts, no clean up. And a sense of satisfaction when I pop on the laser and cut. I'm just cheap so my method is good for everyone.

Wreck of Bonhomme Richard found off Yorkshire coast.
mtaylor replied to uss frolick's topic in Nautical/Naval History
It's possible that this is BHR. As I understand it, ships to the northeast of Britain and even in east part of the channel were considered safe from the worm due the temperature of the water. How true this is, I have no idea. I hope additional research is forthcoming with some solid info instead of what these articles give us which is eyewash for the most part. For now, I'll keep an open mind and some fingers crossed. -
I looked in here and no Sprays are listed. Maybe someone has built one but didn't do a log:

Do have a look at the manufacturers as AL and Occre are very similar. Occre was started by former designers of AL when the owner moved the company to Vietnam. So there will be differences.

What rigging goes where? Was it standardized?
mtaylor replied to Kevin's topic in Nautical/Naval History
What Spyglass said. However, captains were free to change the rig such as belaying points, angles of the masts, etc. to maximize performance. -

Need help with saw blade output
mtaylor replied to bigcreekdad's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I make by zero clearance inserts out of plywood of the correct thickness. I guess i"m just cheap. I also drill holes in the inserts so the shop vac will pull in as much of the sawdust as possible. The picture shows one that hasn't had the holes drilled yet. I find the holes and possibly some bracing under need the unit is need as the suction from shop vac will deform the plats downwards. -
Wonderful work, Dan. That dazzle makes me cringe and my mind boggle just looking at it. I don't know you managed to do it.

I think that many of us have no suitable place to actually put a model into the water. The other thing is type of ships many of build. Put 5 years into building something, you don't want to see it sink. Or at least I don't. I seriously had to look twice at your ship in the water. I thought I seeing a full sized ship until I read your post. Wow!!!!

Nice work, Bedford. I doubt that perfectly round masting and yards are in the majority, unless they're steel, aluminum or fiberglass.
-
Will the masts be painted? If so, for the rings, paper can be used. If not, still paper but black as think those rings were usually metal. The pieces in the center, use some scrap wood, thin wood. Glue into place.

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.
