    Building has been continuing, I'm about ready to finish gluing the front apron. Looking forward at the rising wood. However laying it on the plans, the slots for the floors progressively get wider and wider and don't match my plans. Sorry about the bad picture, maybe time to learn how to take a photo with the camera I bought six years ago? Thoughts?

    Rusty, you state that you "ordered copies of the first three sheets of plans". Where did you happen to order them from?
  25. sfotinos
    What size drill bit for the treenails using 25lb line?
  26. sfotinos
    Chuck, I'm curious what you use to drill your treenail holes with? Manual or power? Shawn

    Thanks everyone for the feed back and likes! I'm not much of a wordsmith, so please excuse my crude presentation. I'm getting pretty close to having the taper finished, hopefully. Shawn
  28. sfotinos
    Just a quick little update. Needs some clean up and on to tapering.

    I can confirm that the smell is amazing! shawn

    Welcome... I was very excited when i was able to get chapters 1 & 2 for this new project. I already have my first question. When test fitting parts of the stem assembly the instructions suggest only sanding slightly on certain edges of each piece. However when I removed the pieces with no sanding, there is a slight gap. Is it appropriate to correct the other end?

    Hopefully by this weekend.

    Chuck wasn’t lying, there is lots of wood! Shawn

    I cannot wait to get my hands on this project! Shawn

    I've been trying to get back to this build, getting my juices flowing reading others logs. In doing this I have learned that somehow I have managed to get everything with the Transom incorrect. There is no outward curve and maybe even inward. Things don't seem to line up at all. Really don't know what I did, but my guess is the attitude of "good enough" has definitely crept in. After much consideration of how to get this fixed and corrected, I have decided I'm going to start over. Anxiously awaiting received my new frames and chapter 1 from Chuck.

    Godspeed Bob.

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.
