    THE CABINS LOOK GREAT! I just watch a two short videos of the cori robotic knee replacement surgery... got my GDD (Google Doctor's degree!). I'm guessing it will be a quicker recovery with this procedure. Hoping all goes well and your back jogging in no time.

    Sometimes I find the small restricted area fiddles with my mind to make it more difficult than it should be. I also find carving on end grain to be difficult. I find that if I take a slightly larger piece of thin stock and rubber glue that to a base piece of wood that is clamped, then pencil mark the shape, then start carving it is somewhat easier. Then I remove it from the base and take it to the table top disk sander and sand the edges to their margin lines.... but still the first one can take three attempts! But it gets easier.

    I get to 9:51 in the above video and it kicks me back to the beginning! I can pick just ahead of that and it loads and plays... not sure what I missed, assuming not much
  24. AON
    How do you know?
  25. AON
    There is nothing more satisfying than getting the last of those seemingly never ending frames done! BZ
  26. AON
    Why can't it ever be easy?

    You must have a very tiny shoe horn! 😇
  29. AON
    Thank you Bruce. I find the mention of those in 1790's and earlier quite interesting
  30. AON
    Well, that was a better idea then what I was trying to do originally. I'm too embarrassed to tell you. 🤐

    Was it the actual removal of the rubber cement or the paper template? If it was the rubber, what did you use? I use a crepe eraser to remove rubber cement residue. Thanks to David Antscherl who had taught me this. You can buy it at any tool shop that sells sand paper. It comes in a block and is used to clean the sand paper to get more life from them. I cut about a 1" slice off one end to use as my rubber cement residue eraser. Works like a charm!

    Thank you Druxey. I printed them all out to help me compare and fully visualise the impact. The revised spacing blends in nicely... it is not noticeable as any type of rework You have a good eye for this, and so I suspect you must have some experience, eh? 🙃

    Good morning Druxey. You can see in the images below for HMS Elephant and HMS Goliath that removal of the third timberhead from the left offers a wider opening location clear of the shrouds and there is a deck beam in that location that would be similarly located to the original two gun port locations which can be seen on the Elephant deck plan. If the third timberhead from the left was cut down, would they have had install a short timberhead (as can be seen at the far right in framing drawing J2934) between the third and fourth or the fourth and fifth? I'm guessing between the third and fourth (move the original over one to the right) as it is behind a deadeye and should clear all rigging and doesn't seem out of place.
  34. AON
    Druxey Then modifications must have had been made to accommodate the extra two carronades on the forecastle. I presume this means cutting out a timberhead? I would hazard a guess - the one forward of the green arrow.

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.
