    I think you're one the right path with the "split" beams. The longer pins should work since they also have to through the deck planks and that will be the new reference for what ever needs to be on deck.

    Alan, probably best just to keep it all as one log. Less confusion to readers in the future.

    Very true but other hand, look at the labor possibilities as everyone would need to be expected to work for their dinner.

    Nice workaround, Jerry and it looks great in place. And good on having the STL just in case.

    I'm not sure I've seen just a build for a ship's boat. You might do a search using "ship boat" as a search term. They do show up in quite a few build logs for ship's themselves. Also, several kit manufacturers make kits for ship's boats.

    Welcome back home, Richard. Great to see your return.

    Nor having an iPhone, I would think so. If you can post to a build log or anywhere else on the forum, you should be able to post in the gallery. Note that I have seen others post to logs, etc. so it should work.

    The original GT-40 was a beautiful car with it's smooth lines. I think a lot of us in that era built one. Everyone I knew that did model cars had a model of it. Much like they a model of the Ala Cart.

    Methinks a bit earlier than 1860. Or perhaps it was a US thing earlier? The Constellation of 1854 had the elliptical stern. So.. maybe a gray area.......

    Have a great trip, Glen, the weather isn't a killer out here.... yet. As for the model... just fascinating watching this come together.

    I think this comes under the concept of "Captain's Prerogative". And I agree, a couple of carpenters in an day or so.

    Hi Geoff from southern end of Oregon. We have quite a few members up around Portland. Hopefully you'll post a log for your next project.

    Welcome to MSW, Miguel!

    Welcome to MSW, Keith. I suggest using the search feature using such keywords as "LED", "wiring". Many of us have installed lighting inside the model for lights. As the tech has changed over the years, there's a a lot of new products and also methods on doing this.

    Welcome to MSW, Greif. I hope you're exploring MSW as we have many different areas for research, build logs, and getting help.

    I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Roger that all goes well with the medical.

    I too have one of those that Bob Cleek mentions. Works very well. However, age is a battle with tightening anything. I've found to tighten the collet I need to use two sets of pliers to add just a bit of torque. Not the best solution but it works for me. I realize at some point, I'll have toss it and find a better tool.

    Image didn't come through, Chris. Just a bunch of code.

    I'd amend that slightly.... the military in the US is 200 years of tradition unhampered by progress.

    Great to see you back and at the workbench, Alan. I'm looking forward to seeing more work on this as it' already looks impressive.

    Welcome to MSW, Jesus. Beautiful work you are doing. No need to apologize for the use of a translator.

    I saw many of those and had one for myself in the past. Seemed common not just with programmers but engineering types.

    Kevn, you can do as others do and add a profile for the business.

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.
