    The first picture of the winch looked great... and now it appears to actually work? Gears with teeth at that scale. Wow.... talk about inspirational work.

    Limits? I don't see any limits. I just see some very wonderful work, Nenad.

    She is super nice, Dan. I too am hoping for some close-ups. From what I can see, any close-ups will be spectacular.

    I think we're all sitting here waiting with bated breath, Jon. Looks superb.

    I'm wishing I could visit the museum and see it in person. Wonderful work and the dunny and windlass just add more.

    Greg, I'm not sure what causes that. It could be that glue layer isn't uniform. As Tadeusz said.. sand. If you're not painting.. sand and re-sand with finer grit paper. It seems to be the nature of the beast.

    Have a look here: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-rigging-and-sails.php The article Jaager is referring to is one by John Tilley.

    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.

    You've not seen this: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/4339-announcing-the-model-ship-world-ship-kit-database-project/ No dates though.

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

    Oops... sorry. OOB = Out Of Box in otherwords just the way the manufacturer supplied it. I'm looking forward to your results.

    Freehand? Thy hands are steadier than a rock, good sir. I salute you. :im Not Worthy: If it were me, everything but the wales would end up black.

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

    Charlie, As Chico Marx once said: "There is no Sanity Clause!". We might be nutz, but it's a good nutz.
  23. mtaylor
    Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!! You got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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

    Charlie, A serious bash like this will get you into scratch and the ships you want to build a lot quicker than building OOB. To my way of thinking, it frees the mind from the limiting issues of "it's a kit" to "it's a blank canvas". You haz a good plan...

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.
