Ok... I've seen something like that. Usually a mod to a sliding table like I posted. Somewhere, and I forget where since it was posted on the lost MSW, there's a good article on harvesting and sawing raw wood. I thought I had a link but I'm not finding it. Seems it was a repost of something from the NRG journal. I think I've seen something like that in the sawmills....

Presenting Ropes on your Scale Model

Wayne, The running end of the training tackle most likely was frapped. That is to say it was wrapped around the coils running between the blocks. I'm trying to find a picture..... -
Phil, You're flying along and doing a great job. I (and probably others) thought you were doing a "catch-up" after the great crash.

Jeff...That's the ones!!!!! Wonderful blades... I'm still testing but so far they are superior to anything I've seen. Edit: Yikes.. I just re-read what I wrote... that much excitement on my part about scroll saw blades. I hope you'll excuse me, I need to see Dr. Per.

I added and highlighted the rules.

I've used blades from Lowe's.... meh.. don't last. I've found Olson's to be very good: http://www.olsonsaw.net/ Currently, I'm testing some blades I bought from place in Canada... Don't have the website in front of me, but their blades appear to be better than Olson. I'll post the link, hopefully tonite.

Lovely work on the cannons, Grant. Very well done. You might want to adjust the quoins a bit. With the deck round-up, your guns are aimed downward. On second look, I think you have the trucks reversed... the smaller ones should be in the back, the larger ones in the front. This should get your barrels raised.

So...let's see.. the moon has to be in the 7th house and Jupiter aligned with Mars? Then we get to sing along also. Ok..I recall the Eindecker, the D-VII and and DR-I....didn't know there was a D-VIII. NM, just found it with a quick Google. The DR-1 was always my favorite but a bit too skittish for my taste.

Augie, As I recall, they didn't back off before firing. The torpedo would have just bobbed around a bit. I think John hit it right... "suicide spear". Reference the Hunley...

Impressive looking deck furniture Sarah. Hmm... there might be something to the concept of a wrong hammer and fingernail polish.

Bob, As I recall they weren't released but detonated on impact. There are some plans for the ones that were screwed into the ships hull and then the fuse was set but coppered hulls put a stop to that. I'd think running up a ship and detonating it would have been more than exciting to the crew of the picket boat. Possibly fatal.

He's right.. the cross-section is a very good way to get started. Take a look at the build logs when you get a chance. If this is not the time for you to do it, keep it in mind for when it is.

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.
