    Chuck Seiler's post in Another garboard strake question. was marked as the answer   
    You are correct.  That was a poor representation of what I was trying to get at.  The updated drawing is probably better.  The key is dry fitting a plank or cardboard template so that it snugs into the curve of the stem.  As you say, the upper edge should be straight.  It will be a natural fit.

    I have always liked holly for my decks, however it is becoming harder to come by.  For my next project I am looking at maple or aspen.
     
        Not asked, but answered...I use #2 pencil on 1 plank edge to simulate caulking.
     
        Yellow wood glue.

    Chuck Seiler's post in Are there any tutorials or advice on how to make bulkhead extentions...? was marked as the answer   
    Model Expo does, in fact, manufacture their own line of kits.  It sounds like Barry's kit is one of them.
     
        Without knowing the full extent of the breakage, I need to 'wing it'.  This is dealing with the broken extensions only.
     
        If you still have them, just glue them back on.  I would recommend drilling a small hole in both pieces and inserting a pin.  I prefer bamboo sanded to size using a dremel.

     
        The other problem is ensuring the piece is correct.  Make a template of the bulkhead and use it to ensure the extension is aligned.

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.
