Solid hull centerline
mtaylor replied to halbaby7's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I think he's asking how to find centerline on a pre-carved hull from kit. As I've not done a solid hull, I have no clue. -
A nice bit of coppering and metal work, Sjors. Looks super.

Sorry to hear about the trip cancelation, Dave. But maybe relief due to the bad weather.. we did one onetime where we were stuck the Detroit airport over Christmas due to bad weather. Our luggage made it to the destination but we didn't. We flew back home as soon as the weather broke. Lovely looking cannons and carriages. And yes, those parts on a CNC mill or laser cutter... But you've got them looking so good.

It looks pretty thin then... Did you run over it with a chair? I've bent some #65's by stepping on them on carpet but then again, I'm a bit of a bull in a china shop.

I've bent some HSS at times and other times they break, but I find the carbide always break. That one looks like it's been stepped on.

Very interesting and impressive build. What gets to me is the design. In some photos it has almost a Star Destroyer look... very futuristic.

Gabe, I have the MicroLux saw with tilting arbor and all that... the older one, not the new one. Blade height is also not fixed. That could be part of the problem is too much blade above the wood... For blades, I used these: http://www.thurstonmfg.com/cut-off-saws.html I also use Jeff's tips: http://www.hobbymillusa.com/byrnes-saw-operation.php I can't answer the question about the glue. I've noticed that also that the wood isn't truly bonded but can be popped off. Maybe that's a good thing?

Thanks again for the "likes" and comments. And also for the holiday wishes. Work is slowly progressing. It took several days to get my head wrapped around the next steps but they're now underway. Indeed Sam. I'm very fond of saying that also about what we do. But, it is fun and satisfying. "Feeling good, Louis!". Thanks David. I'm not sure either. It could be me as I'm clamping while the wood is wet so maybe that's the problem.

Best of wishes for the holidays and new year, Nenad. Office work can be overwhelming and block thoughts on other things. I'm not sure what you were asking about the "Star of India"... The carving looked good, I'm not sure what you meant though.- 4,151 replies

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.
