Cutty Sark by NenadM
mtaylor replied to NenadM's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
Wow... I didn't realize it was a complex of buildings. Is that going to fit into the car as it certainly won't fit on his motorcycle.- 4,151 replies

Thanks for the explanation, Anthony. I've seen some models where the plates looked like iron your explanation helped. I hope you get a good day or two for drilling.

Druxey, I don't know why you'd incur moderator wrath. It's a beautiful boat and the techniques that I'm sure you'll give will help any and all of us.

Just incredible, Anthony. I can see why you'd want to go with removable spikes. Will you be blackening the plates or leaving them copper?

H.M.S. Victory Fore Topsail Braces
mtaylor replied to JerseyCity Frankie's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
They may be right about about the crew on the gundeck doing this as imagine the weather decks would be a bit hectic and crowded when maneuvering. Many ships have the braces coming into the gundeck via fairleads/sheaves in the hull. The questioning point is the pin in the skid beam. Unless it was felt that this would be one of the last sails to be re-braced and not much strain... ???- 4 replies

More staining basswood
mtaylor replied to src's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
I've used the Min-Wax brand of stains from the local DIY/Hardware type store. As Ken said, don't get the gloss.. go for the matte or worst case.. satin and then flatten it. -
Walt, Go for the mockup. I can't help with drawings... but if there's any question in your mind, do a mockup. I'm learning that lesson the hard way.

Floaties? I thought around here we had to use an old inner tube. Ah well.. modern times.

An interesting project, Nenad. I'm looking forward to more pictures... maybe here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/4435-the-what-have-you-done-today-thread/rather than hide them in your log. Children will always be children to their parents.- 4,151 replies

That is one barge full of great craftsmanship and artistry, Siggi. I'm not sure the Captain will see it as I think the Admirals would fight for it.

I'm glad there was no more damage than some minor damage to Cheerful and two bulbs. I can only imagine what went through your mind as the bulbs feel to the bench.... As for the words.... family site.

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.
