    Bob, Thanks for the quick reply I am very new to this hobby, in fact this longboat will be my very first attempt at building a model ship made of wood, my goal some day is to build the Bluenose from scratch. Your log has been a great help along with others I have looked at on this site. I’m more of a visual person so all of the photos have been well received. I look forward to you finishing this project. Thanks again for you help.

    Bob, In your detailed description when planking the longboat you mentioned the following below statement, but you did not mention how to create the planking grid. I was wondering if you could tell me how this grid is made and how it is used? "The distance between the sheerline and the bottom of the strip was divided into eaqual segments by using what I call a "planking grid." I think it's also referred to as a "diminishing grid." I opted to plank my hull with thirteen strakes per side. I just felt that it would allow for a little more wood on each kit-supplied strip during the spiling process. Hopefully, the reduction of each plank by 1/12th won't be that noticeable."

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.
