Hi All, Just thought I would add back my Flattie build log that was lost from 1.0.......... Hello Friends, Another project of mind will be the Flattie from Midwest. I will be doing a little bashing. But mainly I will be going the INTARSIA(painting with wood) route. I thought I wood push myself by painting with wood. That means to me that I must be very critical with all wood seams and glueing applications. It must be a clean joint and no glue being exposed or I will fail with the Intarsia method. I decided upon this project for future projects of more difficulty to improve my model building novice skills to a level of clean and crisp joints and assemply. So I will be updating this thread very soon.... woods that will be used.... HOLLY, SWISS PEAR, BOXWOOD My plan is the flooring inside and out will be boxwood... decking will be boxwood... the white painted hull will be painted with holly... scubbers, rub rail, hatch, cleats, mast collar, trim around the cabin will be swiss pear... i have decided to show off the cabin. So i will be building a centerboard trunk out of holly and boxwood..cabin benches will be boxwood with a little trim of swiss pear....should make for a nice look... mast...boxwood i think the blocks will be swiss pear... looking into adding a bowsprit which will be boxwood... I will be looking real hard at Chapelle' book "American Small Sailing Craft" Well I have a little update. I am trying to explain my progress with remarks on the pictures themselves. but please if you have any remarks or questions are welcome....

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.
