HMS Euryalus by egen -

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.

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. -
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.

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.- 324 replies

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.

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.

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.

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.
