If it's carpenter's glue (yellow or white) then it's most likely PVA and alcohol will usually release it. Sometimes water. But water can distort the wood. If it's school glue or paper glue, then water will usually do the trick. If it's CA (not contact adhesive), then acetone will work. Rubber cement... acetone. Some people have found heat from a hair dryer or heat gun (Caution!!!!) will also break the bond.

Shamrock, Great photos. The issue is with IE11. I'm not sure if IE11 is the default install from the factory on Win 8 or if it was an update. See if it's installed as an update. If it was, it can be uninstalled and IE will roll back to IE10. Use Google and "uninstall IE11 Windows 8" as keywords and without the quotes.

Hmmmm... I'm thinking the HMS in the title is a red herring. Looks to be a frigate or a wannabee frigate. US possibly?

Richard, Jud gave the best advice, in my opinion. I can't add a thing to it.

I almost missed this one.. or at least the start. Whew... I'm pretty sure if I were much later you'd be doing the ratlines, though. Anyway, you're off to a great start and I'll be looking forward to following along.

I'm happy to hear the move is over and was saddened to hear of your loss. She may have known her time was near, but she hung on to get "home". Our previous dog came home one last time and spent a day making us happy. The next day she was gone. They seem to know. Ah.. moving a fully rigged model is worthy of a headache. I can't imagine moving a hundred.

King Planks.
mtaylor replied to Ganymede's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Mark, I believe it was structural. But to cut it for hatches, etc., did ruin the integrity. It would, I guess, depend on the ship and the builder. On many French ships, they ran larger planks down the sides of the hatchways and were scarfed. These were also raised above the deck. On many English ships they did the same but let them into the beams so they were flush with the deck. -
The wheel and binnacle really looks good in the cockpit. The chart locker, was that removable or waterproof?

Oh... bummmmmer. Good to hear that repairs are being effected. Can't let a simple thing like that keep her from her destiny and all that... If repairs fail, follow Dafi's advice. Seems reasonable to me.

May you soon be out of the mountains and back in the safety of your shipyard. Will there be an attempt to raise the Stixtenstein?????

Mobbsie, If Microsoft updated your browser to IE11, uninstall it. Reboot and IE 10 will be back. IE11 is causing problems.

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.
