I wouldnt recommend doing that. Best to start with the wales as they establish the run of planking above and below them. If you start with the ports it is all to easy to establish the incorrect run of planks. Once the wales are established, Line off the hull below it....or plank the hull above it and between the ports. But lining off is the best practice regardless. See the many tutorials posted on this site. Chuck

Really nice and precise craftsmanship. Those blocks are fantastic. -
Just finished up the limited edition kit for the Joint Clubs show. I will be giving away 8 of the 25 kits in this limited run at the show. They will be raffled off with the tickets you get at the show in your welcome packet. I will make several more of this small run available here after the show in April. The figure is included along with a ship's cat which has yet to be added. It makes for a quick project and a nice desk-top display. So sign up for the show if you are able to attend.

The testing process was long and hard before I got the results I liked. I just spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars testing different resins and mixing them together. Post print and pre print dye added....more testing etc. Hundreds of man hours and print tests. Very frustrating along the way. Many many failures. And of course the best results were from the most ridiculously expensive resin. With so many new people starting to sell 3d printed blocks and other aftermarket products, my final proprietary blend of herbs and spices will remain a Syren Secret Formula. At least for now. Sorry and I hope you understand. I have been burned before. Chuck

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.
