    vaddoc, I am going to pull up a chair and follow along. I also watched Leo's YouTube series on rebuilding Tally Ho and thought about building a model of her. There is something about her story that just draws you in. I may still attempt a model, but that is a long way off; I need to learn how to draft a set of workable plans for a build from the lines plans first.

    Thanks, Ronald. My goal is to have the port side finished up this weekend, but we will see if life will allow that.

    I like the look of the holly against the cherry; but that is just my humble opinion. I like the contrast of the two woods together. Although the boxwood would give the model a nice subtle look on the other hand. As others have suggested, do some testing to see which looks better to you.

    Got the first belt on the port side finished. I think I will continue on the port side before I move onto the starboard side. So far I am happy with how it is progressing. I did have to redo some of the planks at the stern because it didn’t look right to me. I toyed with the idea of just letting it be, but ultimately decided that I can do better and that I would be happier if I just went ahead and fixed the planks. I sure am glad that I did.

    Been lurking for a while, following along silently; but I have to say that your SIB is coming along nicely. I am quite amazed as to how anyone can make a model that detailed in such a small scale and then make it fit into a bottle. Well done, Sir!

    Looking really good, JJ! Following your progress on the prototype makes it very tempting to get one of your production kits.

    Chris, she is almost ready to raise sail and get underway! Looking real good, better than mine, lol. Any thoughts on how you plan to display it when finished?

    Planking below the wales has begun. First thing I did was to line off the hull and separate the hull into 3 belts. Then I started planking the first belt on the port side. I am about half way through with this belt, it will consist of about 9-10 planks. So far I am pretty happy with how the planking is progressing.

    JJ, Portland is turning into one fine model!

    Glenn, they are great. I bought then after seeing them on your build log for Winnie along with rolls of adhesive sandpaper in 6 different grits.
  32. KennyH78
    The starboard side of the hull has been faired. Now it is time to line off the hull and start planking. You can see the elegant lines of the hull. Chuck really did an amazing job developing this kit.

    My temporary spot at the dining room table. Eventually, I hope to have my own hobby room once my oldest finds his own place. The power tools reside in the garage turned into woodworking shop.

    Finished fairing the port side of the hull. I’m pretty happy with it. I took my time and used a variety of tools (as seen in the last pic) to get the job done. The foam blocks worked great on the middle frames and then I used a combination of the sanding sticks the white foam sanding files, all 320 grit, at the bow and stern. Now I just need to repeat the process on the starboard side.

    Sure am glad that I was able to get one of your rope walks earlier this month. I will be putting it to use soon along with your serving machine. It sucks that your supplier had to halt shipments to the USA. Hopefully, these things will work themselves out soon, but I doubt it.

    Chuck, I would also be interested in a puzzle of Winnie.

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.
