Sweet work, Bob. Are you putting the poly on before you install the part? Or after it's installed?

Rats. Too late to get a plane ticket and a passport and a visa... I'll be looking forward to your report and photos, Daniel.

Not only are you a master at rigging and ratlining, but also a master a planking. Nice work, Sjors.

Thanks Grant. It is a good feeling. March AND April. Jeff has mine scheduled for late April... In the meantime, I'm slogging on with some odds and ends. I'm attempting a ship's boat (if successful or not, pics will follow) and will probably turn the cannon but not make carriages until needed. Oh.. spring has sprung here so there's some work I hope to get done outside so I don't have to do it after the wood arrives.

John, consider the bright side. At least you caught the problem.

A truly devious and wonderful plan, my friend. I sit in awe of your Machiavellian skill. On the 4" high masts... show here plans and say something like "they never made the masts higher".

I'll trim in a bit... As for April... yep. But my fault. I should have sorted this out last fall instead of waiting to start over.

A hard decision, but the re-work is excellent.

Sweet planking, Augie. So the side that's "not finished" will go out instead of against the wall? I'm jealous. My Admiral says the whole thing has to be "finished" as "we won't have any incomplete models here".

Nice work on the flag Matti. For sails, do them essentially the same way.... drape them over something close to the shape you want and paint them with the glue mixture. Some have hung them by the corners, stiffen with wire and then painted. Also, there's this: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-rigging-and-sails.php See John Tilly's article. You'll do great.

Pennsylvania by threebs - 1/72 scale
mtaylor replied to threebs's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1801 - 1850
Hi Greg, Welcome back to MSW and it's nice to see the Pennsylvania again. Ratlines... I remember reading that they're usually 16" to 18" inches apart. About the distance on rungs on a step ladder. -

Thanks for the "likes"... Sam, I'm happy with the way this is going. Really happy. Mobbsie, I was hoping for some wise words... but I'm glad you like what you see. Update time, yippee!!! The backbone is complete. (Almost.. forgot to finish trim the keel at the stern according to the picture). The stem has been appropriately (I think) tapered and now attached to the keel. The deadwood was made from the cherry since I didn't have any boxwood thin enough and attached along with the sternpost. And, an rudder blank has been made. I discovered that misinterpreted the plans on V 1.0 for the stern deadwood and the sternpost. The deadwood on V 2.0 isn't tapered but the sternpost and keel need to be. It appears that the best way will be after planking when the planks, keel and sternpost can all be done at once. Or least that's the way it appears in the Hahn photos.... I can now go wander off and fiddle with cleaning up the salvage parts, maybe make some bits and pieces, etc. while waiting for my framing wood to show up.

Lovely work, Ed. Treenails? I don't envy you on that one.

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.
