    Personally some may be able to control a power tool for this but it always seems to get away from from me so I always prefer to just use sandpaper and/or sanding sticks

    For the flat sections of the deck probably not necessary but you definitely need to fair the bow and stern frame so you can get a nice positive gluing surface. Most of that char will have to be removed to get those forward and aft frame ready to plank but otherwise as long as there is not any stress the char will probably glue just fine. Page 9 of this article will show what I mean.

    Thanks Darrell! It was good to see everyone even if just for a short time. So do you know what you want to start on next?

    Thanks JD Was able to start shaping the thwarts and they seem to line up fairly well. I really appreciate that they were oversized and could be fit to match. Next up working on the upper inner planking

    I know Model expo sells cross sections of both the Mamoli 1/93 scale as well as the Model Shipways 1/76 scale USS Constitution The MS one is the same scale as their full kit. The MS cross section is designed by Ken Foran who is a member here. My own opinion is the MS instructions pretty good and the service can't be beat

    Recent update. It seems to be paint, paint, paint and more paint. Have the seats and back in as well as the front platform. The risers and stretchers were a bit more difficult to place but seemed to go ok. Next up is the thwarts and then more painting

    Great start. I love the POBII. Basswood is sometimes a bit difficult to deal with but you are correct it is going to be covered up and if you have enough for the rabbit it should be ok

    Great to see a part in the flesh so to speak. Lots of prep work to get here. Is your plank bender one fo those soldering iron thingies (technical term)?

    The jig can be relatively simple. Here is an example from a demo I saw at the most recent NRG conference. Extra piece of wood to hook onto the edge of table so it doesn't slide forward. The V grove can easily be made by just cutting off a corner from a square at a 45% angle then gluing 2 pieces together to get a nice 90 degree V slot. I am pretty sure he was using at least a 3/4 inch chisel maybe even 1 inch wide. Worked great

    I think that you can use the edit button on the first post of your topic. oops Chris beat me too it

    I think this may help.

    Looks great I like the flags. I think you can go to to the first post of the log and edit it and there is a wya to change the title.
  22. MEDDO
    This looks like an outstanding choice for a next project. Looking forward to it. It is also really nice you have a personal connection to the schooner.

    Sorcery! Magic! Witchcraft!

    Yup I got the email but didn’t say anything just figuring I had missed the announcement somewhere.

    Sad news Kurt. Definitely will not like that post. Looks like a great venue and I am looking forward to 2021. Stay safe

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.
