    I don't think it is being picky. It looks like all the frame 6's are like this so i am sure you are not the first to bring the matter up with the manufacturers. If they have prior notice that there is a problem they should either fix it or at least add a note to the instructions to let the builder know an adjustment is needed. remember we pay good money for these kits especially part works and they should be respectful of that. (I can dream i suppose)

    I would build all the framework and then adjust the frames later once it's ready for planking by laying a plank along the length of the hull

    Nice little seats, need a lot of commitment to sit and make lots of them
  4. cobra1951
    Yes they do when fully dry

    Makes sense now you have pointed out what part 11 is Looking through the log that Zoltan kindly found it seems frame 9 is the same on that build but further on in the build all looks to fit fine.
  6. cobra1951
    Nice find Looks like frame 9 sticks out on that one too

    Another strange thing is looking at your photos there is no frame 11, it goes from 10 to 12 I see from your parts photos that frame 11 does not seem to exist

    Well it's either a laser error or they marked the frames wrong. Either way once you find out which it is i would demand all new parts because it will be very difficult to dismantle without damage
  9. cobra1951
    If the frame is too narrow you can always add a thin strip of wood to the outer edges and sand back as needed. But I would seek out other build logs and check first

    Those joints are a superb fit, no gaps at all . Having parts that good always inspires confidence in the build

    A great little build you have going, nice idea for spacing the deadeyes

    The chain will be brass and is supplied mainly because it's cheaper than black chain mostly. I would rather pay a bit extra and have the correct coloured chain supplied. Also I would pay a bit extra for black eyelets and rings etc.

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.
