Charlie, What about black cardstock? Cut the cardstock then overlap in the center to make the hole. It would make sense that the cover was metal and due to the stack, it probably couldn't be in one piece. Insert stack, set and clue cardstock in place. As for the cardstock... we fake a lot of things with cardstock.

Well... you've hit upon the problem with kits. AL, while popular, does a lot of seemingly weird things even fictitious ships and one-size fits all for standard parts. There are kit makers out there who are more accurate but it comes down to price point (for selling) and cost of manufacture/development so there always will be issues with accuracy. The result is builders build out of the box, semi-scratch to correct problems (or buy after market parts such as ship's tiller wheels, cannon, etc), or just go totally scratch.

We've had quite a few dioramas and even "mini's" with not much more than several inches around the ship. Do a search here using "diorama" without the quotes and you should get quite a few hits.

A Model Railroader adding ships to the repertoire!
mtaylor replied to T_Warris's topic in New member Introductions
Hi Tim, Welcome to MSW. Nice work with the ship and the laser. Do give some thought to opening a build log as you get some exposure and also help when you need it. Logs also help others so sharing the wealth (as such) is a good thing.- 10 replies

HMS Pandora sneak peak
mtaylor replied to Gleep93's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
Looks good, Zach. Might I suggest that you replace those powder barrels with water barrels? A bit of a safety hazard to say the least. -
Hi Ron, Welcome to MSW and to model shipbuilding. I'd like to suggest you open a build log when you're ready to begin building as it will be the best way to get help and encouragement.

I last used them about 5 years ago but that's no help now. Apparently they are still at it and doing well since they're still in business. Maybe place a small order and see what the service is like?

I don't think Wally World has greeters anymore. When I retired, I briefly (very briefly, almost miniscule) considered it. Decided model ships were better for me mentally... make of that what you want. Bwahahahahaha.

That's good to hear, Dave. I tend to think we're all a bit nuts (in a good way)... myself included. On the light side... don't use a hammer. Viking funeral. I should have done the flames on my first Licorne.. Oh well.

Dave, Don't beat yourself up or the Constitution. You're doing great. Indeed, there are many models here that humble us mere mortals and the best we can (and should do) is just learn from them.

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.
