    Looks great, very nice little build

    Welcome, nice to have your support

    Hi Ian The bluff bow certainly makes the planking a bit easier as the amount needed to taper planks is shorter because the bend in them starts a lot further toward the bow
  5. cobra1951
    This will make your planking much easier

    Thanks John Sanding is my least favourite part of a build but one of the most important, so i do my best to get it right
  7. cobra1951
    Thanks Mr Pucko :)

    Great job But can I survive for 3 or 4 weeks
  9. cobra1951
    This is the time in a build when you need a trained Octopus

    Plus from what i have read in your log the Dusek kit is supplied with better woods
  11. cobra1951
    Nice :)

    You have done the planking with the same method i use, to me it looks great nice neat joints without looking overcrowded with them
  13. cobra1951
    Build one
  14. cobra1951
    Hi Don Those new little additions you have created look awesome
  15. cobra1951
    You will have a nice solid framework to support you planking when your done

    Hehe Carl Make sure the heating is on as it gets a bit drafty down in the bilge area

    Thanks Don It took a day and half but i cut down the work involved by using the same method i used to fair the frames on my defunct Bounty. Get a belt and using double sided tape stick some sandpaper to it, you can then wrap the belt round the bow and along the edges of the hull and just pull it backwards and forwards. Altering the pressure either side as needed keeps it all even

    Thanks Per Yep, waiting made me more in the mood to get on with it once they arrived

    Received my replacement bow filler blocks yesterday As you can see the replacements are quite a bit bigger than the supplied ones Fitted them in place and shape the bluff bow
  20. cobra1951
    My own builds can sit around for ages without getting anything done, but when i get interested in someone else's build i can't wait
  21. cobra1951
    Very nice
  22. cobra1951
    That's a good reason not to rush a build An hour here and there has it's upsides Your fore top is very neat indeed
  23. cobra1951
    Hurray the wait is over
  24. cobra1951
    No 2. on his list are Breaching ropes
  25. cobra1951
    I hung my hammocks on the 2 hooks furthest away from the cannon tools and i made the ropes a bit longer so they hung lower away from the gun port rigging. That way i was able to leave them all in the open position as the look better to me open and they did not foul the tools

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.
