    Excellent progress Dave. 👍 Now that Fall is here, I hope to get back to work on mine, along with a few other projects. Your build log will be really useful. Jim

    Your Sharpie is coming along great Dave. 👍 Remodeling..............you're on a slippery slope there! I started remodeling the kitchen in the house we lived in previous to the one we're in now. By the time I got done I'd remodeled the whole house. Beware of the terms: "While we're at it" or "We might as well"! 🙄 Jim

    I'm wondering if folks ever apply a coat of Sanding Sealer before the first coat of Wipe On Poly? Jim

    Got started on the Centerboard Case. The various views in the plans didn't always agree on the construction..... nor did the monograph. No big deal.........it is a "Generic Sharpie" after all, so I just built it the way it could of been built back in the day. 🙂 Set the end logs in place. I wanted to construct the C.B Case so it would be removable for now, so these weren't glued in. Then edge glued the sides and glued to the fore and aft CB Logs. Added the Upper Case Support Logs. And finally the Open Cap Logs. Sorry about the weird color. A little more work to do later. Removed for now. Jim

    That's what I like about this scale (1:8)........a person can actually make fittings like these. 👍 Jim

    Glenn, I've just completed reading through your thread and will be following along. Lots of great info here from an experienced kit builder turned scratch builder. Jim

    As mentioned in the last post, I got started on the floor boards. Once the floor boards were built I used a ships curve to mark the trim line and sanded to shape. Finished. Next up is the Center Board Case. Jim

    Castello's website shows numerous listings for boxwood. Which one are you looking at? It's good to know about them. I have a well equipped wood shop, so could mill my own lumber, as you do. Plus, they're located only 60 mi. from me. Jim

    Got a little more done the last couple of days. Like most of us, I've got several projects going at once, plus the summer weather is getting here and the yard and garden is calling. Got a couple more stern log parts added. I'm going to wait until I start the stern planking before I add the stern post. Also got a start on the floor boards. Jim

    Looks good. I'm curious as to what paint you used and how you sprayed it? Jim
  32. Jim T
    Good save on the rub rail Andrew. I also like what you've done at the bow. The inwales add a lot...............I might look at doing that myself. Jim
  33. Jim T
    This has been an informative and very helpful thread. Jim

    I'm at the point of needing to paint the hull (inside and outside) of my CLC Northeaster Dory, so will be watching your process closely. Jim
  35. Jim T
    Primer would of helped, but you would probably still need multiple coats. Also, probably thinned quite a bit. I'm going to paint the CLC dory I'm working on soon and am figuring on spraying one coat of primer and multiple coats of the final color. Someone may be along with more information. Jim

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.
