Mike, Google Translate is your friend on this. It works pretty good but there some things that the translation ends up pretty laughable.

Crikey.. I just now saw Bava's edit. Druxey's right, John.. go to the head and I'll add have a tall cold one. -
Anything by Chuck... Syren, Confederacy, Pinnac, Longboat and the the ME Mayflower.. not sure about the last. Also Dusek and Maristella are bringing out new ones. VictoryModels has the Revenge. There's others I'm sure... but that's just off the top of my head.

Patrick, It's always amazing how much detail you pack into such small models. I'm loving it and inspired.

That is thin, Ray. But if you go a bit bigger, silver solder the end closed it might just be what you need. I'm not sure the photo etch can go that small. Most plastic kits, the eyebolts are plastic and way oversize to begin with just for the strength reasons. I think that even Daniel's (Dafi) offerings in photo etch for 1:100 (Heller's Victory) might be a bit large. Chuck's not offering photo-etch to my knowledge so I'm not sure where you can find something at the needed and still have the strength. The one thing about plastic models is that OOB the fittings won't take a lot of stress from the rigging so you might not be putting as much tension on them as you would with a wood model. To be safe, some testing would be needed....

Another one for the fleet, I believe. Nice work, Tadeusz.

Nice work, Rusty. Do you mask off the not-the-wales planks or ??? Curious since most seem to paint the wales first.

Ray, If you can find some thin brass wire of the right size you can make those eyebolts. Have a look here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/4308-in-need-of-tips-and-techniques-for-making-eyebolts

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.
