End mills (micro) Vendor source
mtaylor replied to Maury S's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
I have these two bookmarked as I'm eating bits on a regulatr basis. http://www.harveytool.com/cat/Miniature-End-Mills/Browse-Our-Products_254.aspx http://www.cetdirect.com/ -
Hi Richard, I'm sorry to hear of your loss. However, welcome to MSW. Vince is right, this will be a great tribute to your brother.

Well... slept on it... no beer....<sigh> I've ripped off the holly and cut some swiss pear. Once things are cleaned up a pit, I'll commence planking again. I only had two strakes down so no big loss. I'm not painting, Carl except with the natural color of the wood. Holly would work for American or British but not the French as they didn't use whitewash. Semi-visible, Ken. There's a large open area in the middle of the ship where this area would be visiable.

A Dutch waterline
mtaylor replied to Jean-Pierre's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
If it's paint for a house or building, the paint grains will be too large and thus the paint will be too thick for a model, JP. As for your other questions, I have no clue. -
Well... I just irritated the h*** out of myself. I'm really needing beer at this moment... <sigh> Just realized the French didn't use whitewash on inner bulwarks like the English/Americans did....<deeper sign> So I'll sleep on this (I hope) and either claim artistic license and continue with the holly or rip out what I've installed and use cherry for red ocher.

Holy cow..... The fourth photo gives a good impression of what an attacking aircraft might have seen.

Balsa as bow/stern filler
mtaylor replied to Roks82's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
If you're going to glue to the balsa, after shaping it, coat it with a layer of glue and water (50/50). It will help hold anything being clued to it. -
Wow... you are filling that deck up quickly now that all the grunt work is done (or a large chunk of it). Looking super nice.

Have a look at the home page for MSW.. lower right hand side. See if any of the sponsors sell them.

EJ, Find out where you would display her first then work from there. To build at a size you like, may not help if you can't display her. This is one of the "chicken/egg" problems that I think most of us have run into.

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.
