    Summer time I don't get a lot of "Me" time, so I won't have much time for the rattlesnake for the next 2 months or so. If for some miracle I do, I'll be sure to post it here

    The deck looks good Scott. I haven't had time to mess with mine the last couple weeks. I think I'll follow your advise and plank the deck before adding the hatches.

    Nice work Scott. I haven't figured out how to make the molding strip yet.

    Woohoo, no more brush strokes in my future painting efforts! Unfortunately, I found a few more spots that needed filler. So I can't play with my new toy until tomorrow..

    Martin - The Chop-it is awesome. Micro-Mark seems to have tons of cool stuff. I might pick-up the other item they have like it, called the Sand-it.
  19. chompsalot
    Yeah, I'm thinking about picking up an airbrush today. The paint I'm using is pretty thin and it's tough to keep the brush strokes out of it.

    Pretty much the colors it was previously. The bottom of the hull will be parchment white, then a brown and black stripe along the wale line.

    So after wasting some paint and several hours....I decided to prime everything. I figured it would be easier to see ALL my mistakes and I could add filler where needed. My new cherry grating showed up, so I finished making the two pieces. Still need to paint the coaming, but haven't decided what color to use yet Yay!, new tools. I must say, these two might be my best investment yet.

    So here is my finished abomination of the lower planking..lol The strakes at the bow are not even close to being done correctly. However the shape looks good, so I might skip the second planking and use my new best friend....wood filler.
  23. chompsalot
    And we're off! Here is my feeble attempt and planking the lower hull. Nothing was really lining up, so once again I decided to wing it... I'm thinking about adding a second layer of of 1/32" planking after i cover the bulkheads. I'll see how it looks once I'm done.

    Amazing job Dennis. I am in awe of your talent.

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.
