    Hi Jeff looking forward to seeing your progress photos. If you aren't totally satisfied with the results of your paint job you can try what I do for paint prep on my RC sailboats. After the first coat of paint, if I still have bad spots I re-sand until I'm almost back to bare wood. Then I go back and re-fill any low spots with red body filler from the automotive parts store. Once it cures I sand it back and re- prime to seal the new filler. Then go back to paint. A bit tedious but usually get a very nice finish.

    Looking good Jeff. The recommendation to soak the plank and apply it to the hull to dry in a compliant curve is a good one. The plank will comply nicely without putting a lot of stress into the hull. Another approach is to get a piece of 1/ 2 or 3/4 inch copper pipe, clamp it in your vise and insert a propane torch. When the pipe gets hot you can bend a wet plank by working it over the hot pipe. Takes a little practice, but it's an effective way to steam planks. Dave Querin

    I have been trying to edit previous posts I made to the completed scratch built gallery to no avail. The content I originally posted was apparently lost in the crash. My problem is that when I enter the edit mode there is no way evident to upload any files. What am I missing? Help! Dave Querin

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.
