Peter, My original material from ME was good quality, but badly warped so it wasn't useful. Then I got a two new set from ME, both good but I opted to go with the latter white wood. (See my log) But I also have the "red plywood" set. Contemplating of putting the other set together just for the heck of it...... could be fun doing another "Syren"...... In my case I provided pictures to Marc at ME, proving my case regarding the warped keel. You should try to contact ME in this matter.

They may be the smallest cannons you have worked, but they are coming along beautifully.

question for sketchup users
Nirvana replied to hamilton's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
Yes, SketchUp has become very popular since it has a shallow learning curve. It's used by wood craft designers. Commonly used in the movie/TV business as well. I use the program for architecture design, together with the Podium for rendering. -
Ken, I just grabbed one of the empty chairs to follow your build. Very fascinating and different! One question I do have ...... which hasn't been asked, strangely. Even with the scale 1:354 she looks like to become a large model. How long will she be? I might pick up the idea of the automotive glazing putty. At least I have to try it.

Hamilton, With your SketchUp you also have something called layout (separate part) that will handle the scaling for printing. -

Gil, Back in Sweden som 25 years ago I were so close to buy a real Drakbåt. Then family life came in between.

Importing Images Into Sketchup
Nirvana replied to Billtoons's topic in CAD and 3D Modelling/Drafting Plans with Software
Bill, In the meny select "Import" , you will get option of various types of extension such as TIFF and more. What is important is to explode the picture so you have possibility of editing. This way you can create areas. Btw, I love the cartoons of yours.. Like to see more in the theme of ship modeling and ships in general. -

There are also lots of tutorials for creating ship models using SketchUp online, just do a simple search. And you will be amazed. I like working with SketchUp, have done that since it first came out.

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.
