Recommendation
mtaylor replied to Jaeon's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Which model is this? Just curious. And also is the bevel (or is it wood thickness, can't tell from the photos) follow the rabbet? Lastly, some model kits (I'm noting AL here especially) have parts and have plans. Laying the part on the plan doesn't seem to work as the plans are not the size of the of wood. -
I'm going to toss this into this topic. It's very useful and came from a now retired wood supplier. Byrnes Saw Operation.pdf

Welcome to MSW, By all means, open a build log for this model. You'll get help and encouragement and make some friends along the way.

The black and white looks fantastic even blown up. The photo Dubz did looks pretty "old timey" (is that a word?) in the sepia.

Just wow! on those boats, Dan. They look darn good like you had a miniature assembly line with tiny workers putting them together.

Wonderful work on the figures. You have an eye for the details.

Marcus, If you can, leave the plan on what will be the top of the frame for now until after it's glued up. Cut outside the line (about 1mm should work). Then sand and fit the pieces together using the assembly drawing for the frame. When you're happy, glue it up. There is a learning curve and it looks like you're getting there. I must say that your first frame looks a lot better than my first attempts.

Hi Mark, I do hope you'll start a build log of your Serapis. I vaguely remember that kit and I think I might have built it as kid. Too many years, too many miles to remember, alas.

RV Kilo Moana by J Harreld - FINISHED - Lego - 1:94 scale

My bad then. I obviously missed the timeframe somewhere. -
My previous work area had carpet. I find a vac with bit of filter paper works well for finding lost bits as does walking barefooted.

Fascinating work, John. And my, you're a fast builder. -
Larger move, Sam, across town. The DeathStar is just about operational just needs some tweaking of settings and final leveling. I'm going to let is sit overnight so everything settles in because the floor is carpet.

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.
