    Beautiful work, Thanasis. Congratulations on a wonderful model.

    Ted, If you just want something to practice with, have a look at this article: http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/plans_and_research/InterpretingLineDrawings.pdf Russ explains the meaning of the lines and there's a simple set of plans.

    It's plastic.. do NOT use a candle. :o

    Feel free to let me know, Jay. We're not traveling much these days due to the Admiral's health but we're both hoping that will change.

    Yep... "Splice the Mainbrace" = "drinks all around" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splice_the_mainbrace

    Either you splice the mainbrace or we'll do it for you and not save you any... :D She looks super nice Jay.

    I'm beyond sad at this news, Nenad. I've been searching for words and there are none. Give Hothead and Princess large hugs and the three of you remember the good times.

    You make that look so easy, Danny And it came out looking great!
  9. mtaylor
    Nope.. didn't think that at all... we're a patient lot for the most part.

    Rivets, Augie? I'm waiting to see if Popeye will put glass in the portholes and maybe make some open... I wouldn't expect working portholes... or should I? Wonderful work, Popeye. That many portholes is like treenails... real dedication.

    JA, Are asking about the bands around the bowsprit? And possibly the masts? If so, consider just making them out of construction paper.
  12. mtaylor
    Valid points, Jay. I'd say go with the pictures then.
  13. mtaylor
    Jay, You were asking... I realize that there's a difference in plank length from ship to ship and same for distances between beams. When in doubt, go with simple is my theory of operation. I think his article is useful only as far as the pattern and not necessarily the dimensions themselves.

    There's an article in the database for this: http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Framing_and_Planking/Deck_PlankingIIbuttshifts.pdf

    I can't put a "like" on your post, Nenad... I'm very sad to hear about your mother. And the Admiral..????
  16. mtaylor
    I can see reverse... use it for "all stop".

    The teak does look good in there, Pete. Just works very well with the color choices.
  18. mtaylor
    I like that bottom shot... she looks ready to go in the water.
  19. mtaylor
    Pete, I daresay that you have captured that elegance perfectly.

    This latest project has, for me at least, a learning curve that is straight, vertical line. Much like scratch building. :D Thanks for bearing with me.
  21. mtaylor
    Sounds like you're on top of it Jay. Will you be running the wiring through the deck beams? I'm really curious how you're doing this.. fascinating.......
  22. mtaylor
    We'll keep the home fires burning but not burn the home. Have a great trip. I love that command and control center.
  23. mtaylor
    Amazing work, Bill. Looks fantastic.
  24. mtaylor
    You set the bar really high, Gaetan. Magnificent work.
  25. mtaylor
    Thanks for the likes, the conversation, and the comments. I'm slowly progressing on the planking even though several things have got in the way... It may get worse now that the new "toy" is here. But I will do my testing using Licorne related items so some good will come out of it.

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.
