Timber-framed outdoor kitchen - Cathead - 1:1 scale
mtaylor replied to Cathead's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
I'll be following along, Eric. Should be an interesting project. -

Welcome to MSW, RH-J.

Wonderful work. Will you be adding any scale figures (maybe one or two) to give a sense of size?

Greek bireme 460 BC
mtaylor replied to Rebelnfl's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
There's been several builds of biremes over years. A quick search should give some good results. -
Hi Gill, welcome to MSW. I suggest you open a build log, not only to chart your progress but also it's a great way to get help and meet others.

That is frustrating to say the least. I'm not sure why the first layer (the scanned print) would disappear. I'm using CorelDraw and my scan is the first layer and then I open a second on top of it. When done, I close/delete the first layer. I should add that I'm not using "bitmap" for the new layer bur "vector". Try this... pull in the scan print. Make sure you're using "vector" and not "bitmap" for settings. I assume that in your testing you were. Draw on top of it directly. Use a different color pen so you can see what you've done. Then try to delete the scan print. That might work. If it does, then you can enlarge the drawing you did.

I'm a bit late but in for this build. I'm glad you were able to get a full recovery, Eric.

Michael, there's an area in Shore Leave that's perfect for the rail coach build: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/73-non-shipcategorised-builds/

Cathead is right. Any posts on "how-tos" not in a log generally result in a lot of opinions It would be a massive job to generate such an area and it would be a massive forum area if one looks at the all the kit makers and all different kits that have been made over the decades. We had a member start a list of all the kits and makers.... massive project and it was never finished. See https://modelshipworld.com/topic/4339-announcing-the-model-ship-world-ship-kit-database-project/

F-86F-30 Sabre by Egilman - Kinetic - 1/32nd scale
mtaylor replied to Egilman's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Looks great EG. Having something to focus on is important especially when there's medical stuff going on. Keep the faith that all will be well. -
I agree with Chris. Incredible work you're doing but makes me cross-eyed just thinking about it.

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.
