Nirvana reacted to Dziadeczek in Vanda-Lay Industries
I have their treenail cutters (I see, they are no longer available - pity!) and also their thickness sander. Both gadgets are still fully functional after all these years.
Very good quality products!

Nirvana reacted to dragonflyxlii in Vanda-Lay Industries
I have their treenail cutter, use it exclusively and have successfully for years. I also have the mill setup with all the accouterments and find it easy to use and well made if you don't want to spring for an expensive mill. I think their products are pretty creative!

Nirvana got a reaction from mtaylor in Alert-Class Tug by fnkershner - FINISHED - 1:35 scale - 3D printed
My part of this project is coming to an end, the design of the barge.
There are a few small details to be fixed but also being a support to Floyd for remaining part of build period.
Looking forward getting back to my Bluenose, who is waiting for attention again.

Nirvana got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Bluenose by Nirvana - Model Shipways - Scale 1:64
Thank you Bobby, for the nice comment.
She is a nice build, sometimes I have stayed true to the instructions other times other sources have been to help.
Right now I am in stand still due other commitments. Looking forward to get going again, and also seeing your build log.

Nirvana got a reaction from Bobby in Bluenose by Nirvana - Model Shipways - Scale 1:64
Time to glue down the fife rail, the boom support is not completely finished.
Somehow I like the contrast in-between the rail/boom support/belaying pins. This instead of having it all white.

Nirvana got a reaction from Canute in Laser cutting questions
Plywood can be found made out of various material such as basswood, cherry, pear and more.
Basswood ply of same thickness is more flexible than birch wood ply.
I just did a quick search a got hits on each material.

Nirvana got a reaction from Canute in UK - wipe-on-poly brand?
Hmm, that is worth trying.... WOP for sizing.

Nirvana reacted to Keith Black in UK - wipe-on-poly brand?
Speaking of wipe on poly......I've read many discussions regarding knot sizing using CA and reasons for not using CA and the seemingly preferred method using diluted white glue. Could WOP be a viable option?

Nice work there Floyd.

So, Floyd isn't alone in this project as you may have notice.
There's Neal who has done all the drafting from real sketches of the tugboat Alert class named Alert as well.
Neals experience with Fusion360 is amazing who knows a lot of tricks. And he is self taught!
I am behind the drafting and design of the barge, this barge is a hybrid, between two different barges.
One is a 400' and the second is a 250', considering the scale we are working at the barge is very long. Measures 85 inches plus ( 7ft +) or in metric 217 cm plus long.
Here is three renderings I have done, there are no post photo editing.
Position lights and work lights will all be fully functional via a switch-board.

Oh by the way, I am doing the barge, final model measures 7'+ or 211cm+.

It's a fun project being involved in, have learned a lot about Fusion360 and computer modelling.
What should had been a small and time wise short project turned out to be so much more.

We can open any of your pictures and Just stay there for a Lot of time, mesmerized by your workmanship. I only dream to be as good some day. You're an artist for sure.

Nirvana reacted to Brian Falke in Excited to be here.
Hi! I am excited that I stumbled upon this website now. I am currently close to finishing up my first scratch model (which I will document in the log later) which is my second ship model. The first was a small sailboat kit (photo attached). The scratch model is the USS ENGAGE (MSO 433). ENGAGE was my first ship out of the Naval Academy, so it has a special place in my heart. I started the model in January 2008 and I am down to the final details today. I have attached a picture of its current state of build. The reason it has taken over 11 years to complete is many, but now I have the time to finish this one and start on the next and I am hoping to find a lot of great advice and support here as the next one is the USS CONSTITUTION from a kit.
