Timber-framed outdoor kitchen - Cathead - 1:1 scale

Eric does G lay on top or my thinking F/G are notched? I like working cedar strong enough but easy to sand made my last door for the shop out of Cedar will be my last termites 2x. -
See I was thinking those lines were for radio com. but they are for flags.Now what about when not in use they are fairly taut?He gave a big bend to give the effect of movement.wind.The drawings still show taut for the most part and with the double line means a pulley thus flags learn every day.
-
I usually see radio and turret targeting lines to sag.So the lines out front of the bridge and the ones in this case off the rear mast there's a radio station in the mast.The four lines off the main mast I would go fairly taut never seen in drawings otherwise.You could prove me wrong though.
-
I am now working the the lines for the SS probably 15/20 more out front it's hard to get a sag?Maybe I need to go to stretched sprue?Some pics............
-
I was hoping they did this one since I am about to embark on a new project.I thinks it would be neat to build that portion of deck from beam-to-beam(?) with all the goodies on deck?
-
Got a book for the future build and I think I have found the timeline March 1943 Operation Paderborn.
-
I am just about finished with the railing with the SS L/side being the last little bit.The chain up front needs some glue ,deck R/side under storage rack more paint glue mark and then on too the rigging.I added a target to the R/side of the funnel not real wild about the strapping "is what it is"

Yes Sir ree a not modeled subject to often I keep thinking about painting but you know the wooden decks I just got for the Sharnhorst come with mask I wonder I think I am about to blow up Mike's wallet
-
Very Easy to build Mike I think the build took me 4/6 weeks from start to finish that's fast for a ship.I now want you to feast your eyes upon this a company I have never heard of but provided the other part of the up-grade for the Scharnhorst.I think a destroyer 25" would be a Nice start to see if the kits are build able and to cut your teeth on. https://3d-wild.com/products/1-200-wwii-japanese-navy-shimakaze-destroyer-model-kit?pr_prod_strat=description&pr_rec_id=e0572105d&pr_rec_pid=6934498476085&pr_ref_pid=6947497115701&pr_seq=uniform

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.
