Beautiful work, Glenn. Sorry that the metalwork is over for now. Everything is very crisp and clean and well fitted. Ah..well worth the wait for the weekly update.

Anthony, I'd go with what Bob said. Danny V. did that on his center section he's building and it's very effective.

No CA here... only PVA or epoxy. PVA for wood and epoxy for metal to wood. CA does bizarre things to my sinuses.

Ok.. I think I understand it. I was just thinking if the linkage could be done under the deck, let the rigging above deck just be a dummy. I do hope you can get it sorted. I want to see a video of her sailing.

It's safe to say we have faith in your abilities, Ulises. I too am not sure about aluminum.. styrene or wood maybe?

Cutty Sark by NenadM
mtaylor replied to NenadM's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1851 - 1900
There is more than one stubborn builder here? I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you! That looks like a great solution to the problem, Nenad.- 4,151 replies

I saw them on Amazon. Does Amazon ship to you? Here's the main search that I used. Just sort through for the size and grit you want (easiest way is the column on the left). https://www.amazon.com/Power-Sander-PSA-Discs/b?ie=UTF8&node=256178011

I quite agree with Brian, John. Leave the photos as they will help someone. Looking pretty good. How does it look from dead astern and dead foreward? Down low I should add. Spiling isn't a bad thing. It can get a bit tedious but once you get into the rhythm, it flows well. I had to spile just about every strake on my current build.

I hope you get it sorted, Jerry. No way to do a direct linkage to the rudder itself, maybe a quadrant gear setup?

They do make disks for the sanders in "standard" (for some value of "standard") sizes with come with sticky back on them. I use them not just for my disk sander but also when making sanding sticks, etc. Here in the States I get them at the local hardware/lumber/home improvement store but I have seen them online. A variety of grits and types of grit seem to be available for reasonable money.

Jud, On the angles... the hawse holes were not typically parallel to the water or decks. There is an angle downward from inside to outside which seems to have varied depending on country, shipyard, etc. The hawse holes were also lined with lead to ease on the chaffing and wear and tear on the ship and the cable. And lastly, somewhere I read that in hoisting the anchor, there was some greasing of the hawse holes/cable... but I'm sure how common that was. It may have been anecdotal for one incident. When I remember where I read it, I'll dig it out.

Chuck, I'd say play to your strengths. You design beautiful kits with a history. Instructions that are second to none. There's options on purchasing (that's a big plus) such that if the buyer wants better wood, they can get what they need from you and "good wood" from elsewhere. This saves the buyer some cash on the kit. Options on the fittings. You're already basically allowing your customers to "roll their own prices". You have range of kits in work or available. I take it that Winchelsea is next? From what I see, you're doing right by your customers.

I did a quick search using iPhone and this seems to be the problem.. http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/12173-photos-upload-and-are-upside-down-how-to-fix And here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/1641-posted-pictures-upside-down It's an Apple issue but there are fixes and those two posts have some possible solutions.

Hmm... plank length.. Hull... closer to 32-36 foot depending....at the time of Revenge, there was still a lot of old, tall oaks in Blighty. Decks.. 20-25... But you can go with one full length strip instead of scale length. Modeler's choice.

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.
