Looking good Mike. I built the gratings then positioned them with double sided tape then planked around them and then removed the grating out of the way to stain the deck

Deciphering what they are telling you is almost impossible with this kit as the plans say one thing and the booklet says another. The best thing you can do is a lot of test fitting first. An example is when you come to do the table and benches, the plans show a table made of 4 planks width, the booklet shows you a picture of 5 planks width. Although 5 planks looks correct if you go with it then it doesn't leave much room around the guns. I went with the 4 plank option. Also neither the plans nor the booklet tell you how long to make the table or how high and the same with the benches. Paul and myself worked it out from the length of the gun barrels relative to the table in the photo's on the box. So as you see deciphering it is almost impossible so it's not you

Ah I see now. As the added 4 inner frames are shorter then the middle and outer ones they sit on the added strip between the 3 frames. This meant I had to fit them slightly forward of the 3 main frames to make the planking sit on all of them. What you could do now is add a thin strip of wood to the extra 4 supports. Or do as Mr Puck did and leave the gaps as the planking hides it anyway once finished.

Are you talking about the short 4mm square walnut pieces that fit in between the frames ? EDIT: if you are then fit them level with the frames not the cross beams and you don't plank completely across them. Make up the gratings and fit them across the center frame and the inside 2 added beams and plank around the gratings. The added 2 outer beams are there to support the short planks around the gratings check out post #27 of this build http://forum.model-space.co.uk/default.aspx?g=posts&t=10874&p=2

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.
