Lovely work on the masts, Remco. You're picking up details that I think most of us never thought of.

mtaylor replied to cabrapente's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1501 - 1750
Hi Cabrapente, I too am happy to see your build coming back. Very nice work on her. -
Gary, Take a look here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/540-how-to-add-pictures-in-your-posts/ This might help with the pictures and getting things sorted out.

Paul, This build still boggles my mind.... I've watched this on MSW and seen the parts being made and still have a hard time believing it's paper/card.

HMS Euryalus by egen -
mtaylor replied to egen's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1801 - 1850
I like the string tied battens. No glue to remove. -
Holy Batstuff... Incredible. Fantastic. Super. And they're good too... The downside is, everyone of us on the "darkside" now know it can be done and how to do it. Intense pressure.... intense.

Ron, There's nothing to be gentle about... Your keel looks excellent.

Echo by oneslim - cross-section

Bob, Be sure to test with some scrap wood and that paper before finishing. There are some finishes that will cause a Sharpie to bleed. -
Good to see you back and feeling better, Mario. Take your time.

Furled , unfurled or no sails -Preference
mtaylor replied to Canada Steve's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Steve, Have a look at the Articles.. particularly this one: http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Rigging_and_Sails/ScaleSails.pdf -
Tim, You are far better off usiing a dye or stain. Tea and coffee are both acidic and will quickly deteriorate any thing cloth such as sails or line. For black, you could also use India Ink.

Daniel, That's a great set of instructions.

Phillip, Give it some time. It was only hour between your last two posts. We're world wide site and many if not most of us work. You might want to check this out: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/353-planking-instructiontutorial-by-jack-nastyface/ second post down, the PDF.

Echo by Maury S - FINISHED - Cross-Section
mtaylor replied to Maury S's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Thanks Maury. Try the Google cache but it's fading away. If nothing else, just a couple of posts to bring things up to date will work. -
Gil, I'm happy you made your way back here. Even happier that you're one of the few (very few) who was able to recover from such a disaster on a home PC.
-
Pat, Good to see this come back. A beautiful build. Just wonderful.
-
Ed, I'll join the chorus of "thank yous" and then return to 'watch and learn' mode.
-
Nicely done and thank you for sharing it with us, Garward. A lot of people, I'm sure, will be glad to see this.

Just thought I'd pop in here. The rules on the old MSW were that the person who got the ship's name right, got to select and post the next ship. Otherwise, there were tons of people popping in with "what's this ship" and even they didn't know the answer. Since you are the founding "parents" of the game, you might want to think about some rules..... before things get too confusing.
-
Yes, nice looking frames. I like the color of the wood.
-
NIce work, Larry.

Hi Christian, There's a few of those "raised eyebrows" type of translations. But I guess that's to be expected in any translation.

I just use a standard run-of-the-mill #2 wooden pencil. I have a pencil sharpener handy. If I need a finer line than the sharpener gives me, I hone it on a rough piece of paper.
