Dreadful indeed, John. That would be about 21 degrees C, Christian. Well.. the framing is cherry but it's going to be hidden. The keel and stem are boxwood. Everything else will use what was described in post 738. Paint? Nope... not here.

Thanks for the "likes" and comments. Yes, Iove the pear. Very easy to work with and leaves a crisp edge. And the color is a added treat. George, Go back to post 738. I list the woods and where they'll be used. But the short answer is: yes. Swiss Pear for the exterior planking.

Hartmut, By all means, show how you make the bits and pieces if you can. We all like the "how do you do this?" types of posts.

Can i live without a BYRNES TABLE SAW
mtaylor replied to shihawk's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Shawn, I can only answer one of your questions: Blades are from Thurston. http://www.thurstonmfg.com/cut-off-saws.html And if you haven't done so, head here for some excellent tips: http://www.hobbymillusa.com/byrnes-saw-operation.php -
First bit of planking is done with Swiss Pear. Just the counter so far. I've hung the stern post and rudder blank for position and to make sure I made the hole right. There will be a bit of ebony trim over the exposed yellowheart after the rest of the planking goes one. And "above" the counter and below the lights I'll be putting in the shaped trim strip after the rest of the stern has been planked. All in all, I'm pretty pleased.

Mike, Great pictures. Thanks for sharing them. That is one large ship. When do they think they'll have it in the water, in a year?

HMS Alert 1777 by Jaekon Lee - 1/64
mtaylor replied to Jaekon Lee's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Very nice work on the planking, Lee. Will you be leaving the other unplanked? -
Hi Aldo, It's great to hear that you're doing better. Depression with any major health issue is a tough well to climb out of and from what I just read, you're climbing. Nice work on the Triton. Did you get that "bump" sorted out? Ok.. obviously, as you've planked. She's looking good... better than good, actually.

Chuck, I use one of these: http://www.modelexpo-online.com/product.asp?ITEMNO=MZ101 I have a clip that I've filed the teeth off of and filled the inner (curved) with some scrap balsa to help as the jaws often misalign with tiny parts.

It may have been the other way around in this case... it was designed in 1928.

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.
