    Sanding is donne, so the fun has begun! Wales will border this line of decoration above and below. I'm not sure if the wales will be black or natural.

    Yep. I was a classically trained woodwind player in a local orchestral band. I was not in the city's (Pittsburgh) symphony.

    Mozart is one of my favorites. I know the Marriage of Figaro well. I've played it many times.

    I enjoy those pics as I do so like the great arch. French....I never learned it. Spanish, Italian, a little Latin and I'm in. I always felt like there were way more syllables on the page than being spoken in French. 😁

    And so it begins. Looking forward to following this. I bet it feels good making sawdust.

    @Seventynet thanks for the compliment. I went with 1 x 5 for 2nd layer. Up til this model, I've used veneers. I like the 1 x 5 better for a lot of reasons, but what I didn't count on was it shrinking. I have some hairline gaps that weren't there when originally planked. I can fix it, but I was still kinda dumbfounded by it. Oh wood is such a fickle entity.

    Thanks Patrick. As for painting a hull: never gonna happen unless it's for decorations. 😁

    Well the hull is at least planked. It needs a good sanding (outdoors), but since it's about 0 degrees (- 18 C I think ) here, it will have to wait. I'll have to work in other things until a thaw graces the region. I'm undecided how to finish the hull as in stain, clear coat, etc. I'm happy to take suggestions. Some days I like the colour variations in the walnut and other days not so much.

    Happy New Year to all! I wish you peace, happiness, and smooth sailing.

    Oh I'm nearing the end here. She needs hiccups cured then a good sanding.
  35. MikkiC
    Well donne!

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.
