I shudder to think what my skills would deliver! Brilliant work. I love viewing people's work who pay a great amount of attention to detail - now I must just do the same

Welcome to MSW Plenty of very useful info here to make you enjoy your stay

I am really in 2 minds as to the path I want to follow on my current build On the one side, the use of "scale" planks appeals to me and on the other, wanting to make the model look good Pete - I did use the "scale" length planks on the deck - its now the hull I need to do and hence the quandry. And thanks for the guide on butts!

As the subject says 100ft planks were not available (and still aren't ) when the models that most of us build were actually produced in real life Here's my question to the hardcore builders and those with oodles of knowledge. Why do most use builders full length planks (as supplied by kit for example) to plank their hulls and not shorter more "scale lenghts"? - (and obviously shown the tree nails etc) This may have been discussed before but I could find no particular reference Would be interesting to hear the opinions/advice

Welcome Cédric - enjoy MSW! Just as a side note, my surname [last name] is Rochefort so it is intrigueing to see it mentioned. I am Anglo Saxon should anyone ask

Many thanks for the links vossiewulf - certainly some cool pieces on those links. Much appreciated - now to start the budget towards an order I can attest to "out-of-control tool collection" - I have the same problem -
More tools - Luthier, jeweler, fly-tying

Thanks all - I have found them Will have to order though - South Africa is a tad far from the States - some days I wish I could take some lotto earnings and visit all these nice shops and suppliers in the States You guys are spoilt for choice -

vossiewulf - I am intrigued as to where you got this ruler from. For what I want, it looks perfect. Love the holes and slots for marking

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.
