Nice going on the deckhouse, Nenad. Sadly, work has to come first to pay the bills, etc.- 4,151 replies

Looking good, Jeff. Small point for the next ship.... this is common among us and I don't know of anyone who hasn't done it like you did. The breeching for the guns should be long enough to allow the barrel on the recoil to come inside the bulwark. I've read that the length of the (total) of that rope should be about 2.5 times the length of the barrel. I think every kit on the market shows the breeching too tight.

Hi Lou, I wish I could answer your questions, but I can't so I'll just say: "Welcome to MSW".

Mike, There's plenty of places.. go back to here: http://modelshipworld.com/ and scroll down. On the right is a list of sponsors. One place may not have what you need or want but between them.. I think you can find just about anything. These sponsors have all been used by members. Disclaimer: I haven't used all of them.

Very cool, Jesse. I'll bet it looks great hanging on the tree this year.

Mike, Wood choices are yours totally. Some use boxwood, cherry, ebony, holly, oak, basswood. Just whatever they feel comfortable it and is affordable. As for where.... Crown Timbers, The Lumberyard, for starters. You'll have to specify what sizes and quantities as I don't think they have a "timbering set" as such for the Triton.

I think we've all been there on the improvisation, Erik. We shipbuilders seem to have adopted this motto: "Adapt, Improvise, Overcome".

I'm no Jedi... just seemed to sound like one. I don't think I've attained junior-padawan grade yet.

Jeff is right, Tom. If you're not sure and skip it, you'll look back later and wonder "why didn't I?". You still have time to decide. Make the other sails and let your feeling float to the top. Then go with them. Crikey.. I'm soundling like Yoda or Obiwan now....

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.
