Richard, I use the bags they came wrapped in. You could also use various sizes of trash bags. Or, get the Admiral (or someone) to make some nice ones...maybe velvet in the color to match the room. Admiral's like that stuff.

I'm making frame blanks for a Hahn method build using 3/32" thick cherry that's 1" wide. I edge glue the pieces for both layers and then after that dries, spread a thin layer of wood glue on one blank, put them together and press between two sheets of glass to keep everything straight. What I'm seeing is sometimes the wood warps and the bond isn't made at the edges. Is there a cure for this? Am I doing something wrong? Just hits me as very strange.

Looks good Jason. You are moving along quickly. Did you try soaking and applying heat to bend the planks? AL's wood isn't the best but it will bend with water and heat.

Or, you can use fabric glue. Both seem to work.

I'm looking for ring pins. Ideally, the Billing Boat's ones: http://www.billingboatsusa.com/149-bf0285-eyebolt-6mm.html However, after hitting about 15 webshops and no one has them in stock... I'm considering these: http://www.agesofsail.com/ecommerce/fittings/eye-4005-04-brass-ring-bolt-4mm-10.html They are photo etch and I'm wondering how they look installed. Has anyone used them? If those don't work, I guess I'll order these: http://www.castyouranchorhobby.com/item--Ringbolt%20-%203mm--ms0430 Or check my supply of eyebolts and split rings. Worst case... make some.

Lovely work on the taffarel, cap rail and all the fiddly bits, Danny. That is an interesting method.

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.
