Good evening from New Jersey USA!
mtaylor replied to Funkingonuts's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome to MSW, Michael. Have a look in this area: General Ship Model Kit Discussions - NOT build logs -
Ken, I don't dilute the vinegar.

I was there back in the 70's on a business trip. It appears the museum is closed or about to close as it's being moved. Here's the link: https://www.ordmusfound.org/'

From here, I doubt the ratlines would be seen anyway. Looks darn good. I hope the weather gives you a break.

3D Brig 'Rose' in Blender 3.3x

Not always but usually both the upper and lower lids on the half lids could be removed. -
Used Cameron Drill Press Opinions Requested
mtaylor replied to James G's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
If you're thinking of buying a mill, than you have your drill press but only for wood. I wouldn't use it for metal. The other thing, I use it as a drill press so seldom and space in my shop limited that's it's just not worth the cost. A good alternative is to get one the stands/mounts for a Dremdl type tool Hsae showed. Do not get one the cheapies that has plastic parts. I was given one a long time ago it just sits under my work bench. It the plastic parts just twist and bend and anything drilling is pretty much impossible. -
How many kits do you have on the go at the moment?
mtaylor replied to CaptnBirdseye's topic in Wood ship model kits
Ah resistance was indeed futile. Plans in the shop for a second scratch build and a kit will be on the way as soon as the weather clears in another part of the country. I'm not complaining. Isn't there a rule about having the most models wins at some point? I know I won't win, but that's ok. LOL. I just need to screw my head on right and get busy. -

I suspect that your conclusion about it "being left over after conversion" is probably right. If you look at the way the gun is mounted, it's definitely not at a broadside angle angle the recoil would most likely push it back into the side of the mortar pit.

ancre La Belle 1684 by Oliver1973 - 1/36
mtaylor replied to Oliver1973's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Could those extra two have been carried topside? Or they might have ballast but those were usually damaged guns. -
Artesania Latina 1/50 Jolie Brise cutter kit
mtaylor replied to Mike Esposito's topic in Wood ship model kits
It's possible that they are re-doing the kit. Seems the new owners are putting time and money into re-deisigns and upgrades.

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.
