    Hello I am just about finished with my second planking of Swift. Well done with yours it looks tidier and cleaner than mine but I will get there with lots of sanding. Clearly you are more practised than me and I may need a little help as I am struggling translating the instructions and plans. I am pretty handy with tools etc but just not sure at times.

    I am sure this has been covered and if I was better at IT I would do a build log. Buidling HMS Swift all going ok till now. the planks despite being wet and pretty bendy wont curve nicely at the bow and even worse I am one plank short. Ever the improviser I have cut another one form the ply template blank that the deck blank was in, This has broken when being bent despite being very wet. I am sure I can repair as its first plank layer. but my bow planks do not cure as nicely as i would like. Anyone got any ideas??? this is a small model so the planks are small, as my Wife has got sick of dusting "Norske Love", which I built over 20 years ago. I have to say I love the build, its a challenge the plans are not as good as they could be and the English is god fun to read Am I missing a trick doing my plank bending please?. I should say I tapered all at bow and stern so almost no filling required. Isnt it fun creating a real beautiful model from a lot of flat planks and sheets so you see a curvy 3 dimensional piece of practical art

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.
