Hi. I am 14 and I am a electric wheelchair user and I am not very strong. My carer will be doing all the physical work like lifting the glue and cutting the timbers. I wanted to build a wooden model ship like my carer Antony UK. We started the black pearl but the magazines arrived for the first few weeks then nothing so I cancelled the subscription. I have just bought this from Cornwall Model Boats. The Black Queen. http://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/mamoli_MM60.html It's the Mini Mamoli series and it's a beginners model. Solid hull is a nice way for me to start. My carer said that I should do a build log so it might help other people to build this model. That's enough about me Opening the box The contents. The small bits. And the timber. The Hull. The instructions are quite poor considering that they need to be interpreted by beginners model.. Trying to read through the instructions. Starting the build. I sanded the hull being careful not to sand the edges that are deck level as I wanted these square. I then added a strip of 3X3 on the stern to give the correct angle. No 3X 3 supplied. Next I have cut the planks to length. The instructions ask for 15 mm long planks for the decks. I made them 25mm long. Planks that are 15mm long and 3mm wide don't look right. Next I added the deck edges. Only 2 as seen on the photo. This allows me to overlap the edge of the deck with the planks. I will trim this later after the planking is complete. Then add the other edge strip. The Planks were glued to paper in the correct pattern with PVA glue. I will be doing a little bit each day during the holiday. Alex S

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.
