Hi,
I use transfer paper to be applied decoration on the sails made of fabric but the flags I print on rice paper because the fabric is in my opinion too thick and stiff for small flags.

Hi,
For stiffening the keel depending on the length of the model I use:
1. Blocks glued between the bulkheads.
2 Strips or two strips running along the keelIt help keep proper shape of hull during planking.

Hi,
I print flags on the Japanese rice paper.
Rice paper is fastened with adhesive tape to a sheet of plain paper and I printed on an inkjet printer.Flag patterns and their placement on the ships are here:

Hi Don,
I use rotation carpet cutter to cut veneer strips suitable for for hull planking.
After cut it edges of strips they are sanded.
This way was made second clinker planking for norman's ship as also carvel planking for Peter von Danzig.

Hello Eddie,
Complete and very clear information on standing and running rigging in the form of drawings of individual parts and general plans
including belaying plan are contained in excellent book:
Rigging Period Fore-and-Aft Craft By Lennarth Petersson ISBN978-1-86176-237-5
www.amazon.com/…Period-Fore-Aft-Craft/dp/1591147212

Happy modelling,

Hello Budad,
I think this question is very difficult to simple answer .
The number of bulkheads depends on many factors:
1.Type the ship and the shape of the hull - the greater the curvature of the more bulkhead plating.
In the fore and aft sometimes be placed in smaller istances than amidships. This applies especially to
historical models of sailing ships.
2.Length and scale of the shipmodel - for smaller vessels can be applied solid hull instead POB.
3.The dimensions and the material of strips used for planking - possibility bending of it and also final hull stregth.
A few examples from my modeling practice:
Fot.1,2 Grosse yacht -Length on waterline 42 cm
Fot.3,4 Norman's ship - Length on waterline 37 cm
Fot.5,6 Esplanade - Length on waterline 95 cm
Happy modellihg,
Tadeusz

Hi,
After rescaling you can use only strips for hull planking and other simple stock of wood rest of things to be usless.
More resonable and cheaper to buy the plans for the model you want to build. You can also buy items of equipment such as guns, blocks, decorations and other on a scale appropriate for your project.
Plans are available for most models sold as kits and many other ships to build models. However, the construction of models from scratch requires much more equipment in workshop and skills of modellmaker.Source of plans at reasonable prices:
Associazione Navimodellisti Bolognesi (Italy)
http://www.anb-online.it/
I bought there plans for 5 ships.
Big choice of plans, moderate prices (Germany)

Hi,
Hulls of wooden sailing vessels in XVIII cent. for the protection of the underwater part from damage by worms was covered with copper plates (also lead or zinc plates).
Copper plates was 48X21ins to 86x64ins depending of period and country of ship origin.
The nail heads were from 3/8 to 1 1/4 ins diameter and recessed into the plating
in order to surface was smooth.
Manufacturers often offer modeling kits in sets of copper plates but in my opinion they are not properly made for models in scale 1:75 - 1:100. In particular too visible nails that secure the plates to the hull. Proper implementation of coppering is very important to the final look of the model.
For these models, a convenient solution is to use a self-adhesive copper tape, which is available in various widths. The edges of subsequent sheets of copper, we can easily do by pressing a chisel.
This allows for the most realistic appearance performance of our model.
Desirable was the application of the patina but far I did not have found efficient method for it.
Happy modeling.Attached foto:

Hi,
So named Victory ????
This kind of model is not even funny he is terrible.
To call this creature model is insult to all of us hard working model makers.This type of activity should be subject to severe punishment
