On 4/26/2020 at 7:58 PM, yvesvidal said: What a great way to teach your students. Now, they have no excuse for not knowing the vocabulary and functions of the various parts of a boat. You truly are a dedicated and motivating teacher and your display will get a lot of usage, I am sure. Superb work and excellent presentation. Yves Thank you Tom and Yves. I don't have real students. I am retired from the Navy since five years. But during the last eight years of my career I worked for the education policy of the Navy. This project was a nostalgic one, a looking back to the era when ship models were still used in maritime education. You were my students and I couldn't whish me a more enthusiastic and attentively class. mtaylor, Barbossa, usedtosail and 1 other 4 Quote G.L.

Vladimir_Wairoa Posted May 3, 2020 Share #159 Posted May 3, 2020 On 4/18/2020 at 10:11 AM, G.L. said: The base for my drawers is a deal frame. On that base I build two drawers. Here you see them in closed condition. And here they are open. A stop plank at the inside prevents it from being pulled out completely. The right side of the frame is still open. There is space for a third drawer, but that is for the next chapter. Here is the starboard drawer with a copy of the glossary list in it. The final lists will be printed on more retro looking paper and they will be covered by glass. Now the pine frame has to be hidden by a round frame. I make that frame by gluing two quarter rounds together to a half round. For the drawers, I mill a groove in the upper quarter round before gluing it. The lower quarter is sawn/drilled in half with a drill clock to have a half round cut. Then it is glued together to a half round frame. And that is how it looks on the drawer: Gluing the round frames around the display board. That is how it looks with the drawer closed ... ... and open ... ... and with the dust case. Here with the model on it. The small brown buttons on the model are the numbers that indicate the different parts which are named in the glossary. In the front, in the middle, you see a red button. At the other side of the board is an equal green button. They indicate the port- and starboard side of the boat. I consider those two also as two important parts of the boat which should to be known by every aspirant sailor or boat builder. Next week I will deal with the third and final chapter of this build: The encyclopedia. Thank you for reading Thank you to follow Thank you for the likes and thank you for your constructive comments, Till next week and keep it healthy!

stuglo Posted May 3, 2020 Share #161 Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) On 4/15/2020 at 10:01 AM, Mark Pearse said: We used to make the glue by dissolving acrylic pieces in ethylene dichloride (I think that's it) until it was thick but could still go through a syringe (without a needle in it). You run the syringe along the joint & it soaks it up. If you get the thickness correct the glue will bridge gaps. I use chloroform brushed on. (so far remained conscious ) I never tried thickening it, but I found with the syringe, it was difficult to control the pressure and therefore avoiding squirting (both glass and single use).capillary action didn't work for me. I use 3mm plexi even with cases of over 1 metre. Glass looks better but is very heavy. I also had a nasty accident once (not related to modeling) so I cringe whenever I handle it.
