    Ah.... have a look here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/10379-windlass-on-1815-revenue-cutter/ I think that will answer most of your questions. As for the pipe or hatch.. I would think hatch for rope.

    Bug, I think this will mean a lot not only to Diane but to the rest of us here at MSW. I'm sure that Augie would agree that Confed is in very capable hands. A fitting tribute and memorial to a wonderful human being and a great friend.

    SOS, By anchor winch... can you show a picture? Maybe give us an era? Steam or manual? Modern or old?

    Nice work, Kees. Breaking off the mold is always scary.

    Looks great Jon. I'm smiling looking at this update.

    Sweet work on the figures, Dave. I'm in awe.

    Chris, It was the MM brand of Micro-Glaze. I don't know if they still sell it.

    A lot of PC programs get ported straight across to Macs. The problem is that often, the developers/programmers don't take the time to test (or rather the company won't give them the resource for this) and functionality is often lost. The OS's are just different enough that what works on the PC won't work on a Mac.

    It looks gorgeous in the photos and probably even better in person. I hope the sea trials go well.

    Those are delicate... The dimension is the size of the wood used in the grate, correct?

    Thanks for the "likes" and the comments on the windows. I hope it helps someone. I would advise that you definitely test on a dummy/scrap window before trying the real thing.

    It warped the long way, Greg which would be the normal direction as the grain runs from side to side. If I had turned the wood 90 degrees to cut it, it would have warped sideways. Then again, I'm wondering if the Euro Boxwood itself.. I have some more and the thinner stuff is warping. And I agree, cutting the small bits like windows, even the nameplate on the rear would be pretty darn hard.

    Piet, Your work is inspiring if I may use that word. I see what you do and it kicks me to push harder. I love your anchors.

    Edwin and all, By all means extend a courtesy to the log owner and get permission. First, I think they would appreciate knowing that someone thinks enough of their log to download it. Second... as Chuck said, "you should ask permission first".

    Buck, IF it's less than 25 pages (I think that's the limit) there's icons at the lower left hand corner of the page. One is printer that lets you print. The other lets you download. There's a topic here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/345-how-to-save-or-print-your-build-log-or-other-posts

    Wonderful stuff, Daniel. If you're happy, we're happy.

    Hi Mehmet, I like the name on it also. It adds a personal to touch to a well-used boat.

    Bob, Are there any drawings showing the interior at this area? I'm wondering if they needed some extra space for the cabling they were laying. That is a strange looking box though and there appears to be some sort of piping/grating over the top, like a hopper.

    Looking good, Mark. Lots of us just follow and not always comment.

    There is a new one coming at some point by VictoryModels/Amati : http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/985-amati-and-chris-watton/

    Congratulations, Grant, on a wonderful voyage and a great build. She looks super nice in her new home.

    It was a first time for me also David. I've always used acetate and it just never looks "right".

    As Scooby would say: "Rut Row"
  24. mtaylor
    These all good plans, lad. I'd say, pick one and run with it. Since it is a corner, check ye plans and see if the inside or outside planking attaches to it. That will add strength to the corner. As we know,the stern was the weak point on these vessels... A raking broadside astern was a terrible thing.
  25. mtaylor
    A very clever solution, Christian. I never thought of that with regards to a dowel even though I've done similar to large planks.

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.
