Atlantis by Thistle17 - FINISHED - Robbe
mtaylor replied to Thistle17's topic in RC Kits & Scratch building
Been there, done that with the wood supply. I now mik the wood and run it through a thicknesser before using. A PITA but it pays off in the long run. -
All the way from way down South ......

I wish both of your children well. It sounds like they need to find a good place to be for work and life. There is nothing better for a child than a supportive parent. I hope has many good adventures ahead.- 4,151 replies

Beautiful work, Cabrapente. -
Welcome to MSW, Lou. You might consider posting what you have found on the Lanikai along with your questions here: https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/forum/13-ships-plans-and-project-research-general-research-on-specific-vessels-and-ship-types/ It almost sounds like the Navy bought a comericially built ship.

Yet Another Pandora 3D build

Thanks for the explanation, Wayne. I have Lavery and Lee's, so it's probably time for HMS Visa to take another hit.- 68 replies

It's great to hear from you Nenad. You have been busy. Yes, those little guys (dogs) require attention... but to me, that's a good thing. Your daughter is moving out of Serbia? I hope she'll at least come back for visits. Lady friends are good... No rush on getting back here... take your time and do what you need and want to do.- 4,151 replies

Looks good from here. Pity you can't combine the motion limit switches with the LED switches. Might simplify the wiring even though it might create problems with voltage requirements for the various bits. I'm an old fan of keeping the mechanicals simple because... well... kids and/or exuberant teens and adults.

Yet Another Pandora 3D build
mtaylor replied to herask's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
Goodwin? I have one similar but not exactly titled as "The Arming and Fitting of the English Ships of War: 1650-1815" by Lavery. How similar are they?- 68 replies

I'm just too blown away by this ship to say more than "Wow".... and then sit here and stare some more.

Beautifully done, Dan. I was expecting to see vacuum forming also, but could see what you're up against as to size and curves. Even more impressive that it was done without vacuuming.

Wow!!!! Super nice work, Patrick. The Owner's Stateroom is turning out super nice. I think I'll just walk away, shaking my head, and muttering to myself about the beautiful details.

Thanks for the likes and support. I think it's right thing to do. I'm still on the learning curve or maybe a straight line that vertical? There wasn't much to remove and I'm cutting wood to size and sorting some odds and ends out. Having new glasses to adjust to is slowing me down also. I hope to make progress here soon. Already gone, Pat. I figured that staining that little amount of wood just wasn't worth the hassle. I did consider it, though. Carl, Holly is almost pure white as is whitewash.

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.
