Belt sander proxxon 28 536
mtaylor replied to michael101's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Could be easier with a disk sander but my disk sander just spins away merrily at high speed. This little jewel is mounted on it's stand and has lower speeds. It worked for me but your experience may vary. -
I too love the lights. They just set a model off and add something special. Wonderful work you've done on her.

Another way would be find a small pin (sewing type). Drill a hole in the bottom of the mast and put in the non-sharp edge of the pin (cut it down to length but not the point). You woudn't need much of the pin sticking out of the pin to poke it gently into the keel/false keel. CA it in place. This would work if there's only one deck. If there's two decks, then a bit of clue on mast to secure it to the decks would work.

Time to take a deep breath and have an adult beverage, Greg. The guns look good... and numerous.

Just beautiful, Kees. Those photos on the beach... if it weren't for the stand, one would think they're of the real ship.

April 10, 1963 - USS Thresher tragedy
mtaylor replied to torpedochief's topic in Nautical/Naval History
I liked the post not because I like it but to acknowledge it. I remember the Thresher disaster with respect and sadness.... -
Brian, They're really only a temporary type of product used during storing or shipping. The problem I can see is getting them out to bake any collected humidity which should be done periodically. Maybe hidden discretely in a display case might be better. I'm also not sure if they would draw the moisture out of the wood and cause premature aging.

Beautiful work, Jack. The base that you've done with all the bits and pieces adds a lot to her.

I love the ship work... But I hate the news about your health. Damn I wish there was a cure for this as I know of two others (not shipbuilder) with it.

Mike, On the musket stowing... I would think they'd keep the muskets close at hand since this basically a "day ship" with no provisions for much of anything other than the guns.

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.
