Welcome to MSW. This site is a great resource and opening a build log will also help you along your way with researching and meeting other builders.

I do think all this work on the "new" place will be good for you and yours. As for the work.... not fun at all and the the moving has to start. Been there done that and have an appreciation. My next move will be to the old geezer home and I'll get someone else to do all the work.

Swivel guns
mtaylor replied to tlevine's topic in Discussion for a Ship's Deck Furniture, Guns, boats and other Fittings
One thing I found very helpful was to carve up a little guy of the appropriate size. I used the art from a ANCRE plan and as I recall, he took me less than hour to make. His "staff" is 6 scale feet tall. Not a great photo but it's the best I could find at this moment. -
Welcome to MSW, Glenn. Chris gave good advice on where to start research. It may take some time, but usually someone has some answers. As always though... every answer leads to more questions, which is a good thing as it increases knowledge.

Quite a few I believe. Depends on how you define "nearby" and what part. Go up to the top of the page and click on "More". In the dropdown, click in Community Map. You can zoom in on any part of the world and see what members are there. Now the caveat is.... they'll be there if they added themselves to the map.

Welcome to MSW, Steve. Beautiful model you have been working on.

Sorry hear all this, Kris. Do you have any hand tools such as jig saw, files? That might allow you work in wood. We do have quire a few builders who use the simplest of tools.

Just edit the photo in Paint or basically any drawing program. Open it, make sure it right side (or rotate if needed) and then save it. If it shows up right side up in the drawing program, still save it. When done, upload the image. By perchance are you using a smartphone for photos and uploading? Seems to be a common problem with them.

Have look here at this discussoin. -
I believe this photo would come under the "fair use" doctrine. So it should be ok. An amazing photo.

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.
