Sjors, She's looking more like ship now. Have fun with the rigging.
-
It'll save you lots of work...

Congratulations on your retirement. The rework of the shop is a good start on the "after work" part of life.

Echo by Maury S - FINISHED - Cross-Section
mtaylor replied to Maury S's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Very clean and precise, Maury. I do like that idea of predrilling the strakes for the treenails. Beats the heck out of doing them in situ with a pin vice. -
Don, If you've followed Ed's build log of her, you'd see that's for any modeler. He has tips and tools applicable to all levels.

Nice work on the canoe, Sarah. The tung oil really finished it off perfectly.
-
Hi Borge, I'm just catching up on the re-work and find that your elbow decided to act up. Let it heal. We'll be patient while you're the patient.
-
Frank, I hope all went well and you can return and finish Supply soon. This is benchmark build, sir. Above and beyond.

Great looking boats and there's a cake to boot!!!! For a moment there I had scroll to the top of the page as I thought I'd wandered into one of Sjors's builds. Here's some popcorn from one of his builds...

Nah... I'll be running interference to keep them away... Carry on Mobbsie.

I'll be joining this party also. Looks to be an interesting build.
-
Wang it's a pleasure to see your Triton log being put up. I hope all is well with you.
-
Rick, Save yourself some aggravation... put it all in one log as the parts work together. This area is typically for discussion of say servos, usage, types, how-to's, etc.
-
Jan, That finished up to be a stunning model. I hope you'll keep it somewhere safe as it's a masterpiece.
-
Looks to have been done by a miniature chisel....? Now my mind is truely boggled.

Kevin, Over here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1520-timber-help-for-a-newcomer/ Cornwall was mentioned: http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/timber.html I don't know if they do bespoke timber or not.
-
Rick, It looks big enough that you could do some amazing detailing. Feel free to open a build log in the kit area. I think a lot of us would like to see her being built.
-
Take a look at this link, if you like: http://www.dlumberyard.com/wood.html Go down to the "wood samples". Dave has almost all (might just be all) of the woods used in ship modeling listed.
-
Ron, The length is your choice just as the planking lengths. Some do scale planking lengths with butt joints, others plank with no joints. It's about what you want the build to be, to learn and to have some fun along the way. How's that for a non-answer? :)

I'm not a lawyer so this info has been picked up over the years doing software, commercial photography and technical writing. Basically you are correct. You can play it at home or lend it to a neighbor but not charge admission. You can display or use extracts (fair use) in reviews and articles but somewhere the thin line of plagerism is waiting... You can sell the original DVD/CD but not copies of it. At least in the USA. Not sure that all countries have the same rules.
-
David, The others have offered excellent suggestions but I'd like to step backward and address the Mamoli Surprise. If it doesn't have a full length gundeck, consider a serious bash. You'll start with a kit and then scratchbuild your way out of it. I did the AL Constellation that way. Ended up with an almost one of a kind ship. (Almost as there's another builder scratchbuilding her ). There's another builder doing the same thing to the MS Constitution. Takes some thinking through to do and it would be a challenge. No matter which way you decide to go, have fun with it.

Nice detaiing touches on the yards, Grant.
-
I'm just catching up with your Le Mirage, Sjors. She looks really great with all the guns and ornamentation.
-
Just catching up Augie... the yards are shaping up nicely. Blisters go with the territory... And for the next build, think about the darkside. You can build whatever you want. No need to find a kit that's been built a zillion times.. like Confed. <ducks><runs for cover> Seriously, the "one of" is one of the things that got me hooked on scratchbuilding.
