    I have no help to offer but I love this build log, it is so interesting. your planking looks terrific!

    I am speechless, I kind of wonder if magic is involved.

    that was a good call beefing up the bulkheads, are you going to add some filler blocks at the bow and stern?
  6. tarbrush
    just beautiful Augie!

    Congratulations on your Willie Bennett, it's absolute perfection!

    good tip Brian, I am going to try that!

    it looks excellent Andrieke, the weathering on the bulkhead looks perfect.

    Hi Carmello, I've used all three before, cyano is faster but if you get it on the outside of the plank it can stain the wood, so, not good if you are going for a natural finish use with caution. Carpenters glue works very well but is slow to dry and needs clamping, Contact cement does work well, I used to use it but it is a bit stinky to work with. If you go to contact cement practice on some scrape first to get the hang of it, you want to get a thin even coating on both sides. best of luck you planking job, everything looks good so far.

    just downloaded most of the pictures from the link you provided, great series of photos, nice close ups perfect for the modeler. thanks for posting that link. it looks to me like you got the color of the deck just about perfect. it looks just like in the photos, good job.

    well progress has been slow but I think the upside down jig will work out good. nothing is glued yet, I plan to get all the frames done and rough shaped before I cut the insides of the frame and begin gluing things up.

    What beautiful work Jesse, those sails are amazing as is the rest, what a treat to look at.

    Adrieke, your lanterns look awesome. Did they come with the kit or did you make those?
  18. tarbrush
    very nice job planking Carmelo! I am looking forward to the rest of your build.

    Hi Simon, you are doing an excellent job on your model, Gjoa is an very good choice as your first model, it has just the right amount of complexity for a first build. Have you checked out all the photos there are of Gjoa on the net? am attaching a couple that I like. I look forward to following your progress.

    What a great looking little ship, I love the colors!
  21. tarbrush
    nice clean work Don, this will be fun to watch
  22. tarbrush
    looking very good Carmelo! I look forward to following your progress.
  23. tarbrush
    thanks Nigel, that sounds like a good plan.

    thanks Patrick and Mark for your encouragement. Maybe I have found a use for my wreck model, try installing some interior detail to see how difficult it will be. Mary Rose is deep hulled and thinking of trying to install the knees, riders, stove and lighting etc. sounds real fiddly on a fully framed hull, the section idea is really appealing though as you have pointed out will create some difficulties of it's own. Now I am really glad I have a scrap hull to experiment on!

    hi Keith, thanks for posting a photo of your Mary Rose, it looks great and makes really excited to get to that stage on my model. Have you started a build log? I would love to see more pictures of your model!

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.
