    As I was looking at the cabin, I decided I didn't like the brown paint I used. It looked to light so I decided to change the brown color to a darker shade. Glad I decided before got to far into the build.

    I started on the cabin. Taking it slow and enjoying everything coming to together.

    I skipped planking until I have enough time from work to complete without distractions. I did start with some of the deck fixtures.

    I finished with frames and installed the false deck.

    My plan is to build a static model. My focus is on working ships like trawlers and fishing boats.

    Hi, 

     

    Initial progress on the Artesania Marina 11, up to attaching deck to frames and at this point questioning how to ensure deck / glue / frames all make contact long enough for glue to take strength.  As you may recall the tops of the frames where they will/should make contact with the deck are curved initially up from the false keel and the downwards to the edges of the frames, also curving down from bow to stern. Using either contact or white glue I am assuming the need to clamp numerous points of contact but due to curves of the frames have yet to find a successful manner in which to secure all points of intended contact.

    I  would be most appreciative if you can recall how you assured contact at all points was achieved while the glue set.

     

    Thanks and regards Beginner (Colin)

    Colin, I build my stands myself no plans. I do look around the internet for ideas. I enjoy the build of the stand as much as the model itself. Good luck with your build and I would encourage you to start a build log to share to this community.

    If you start a build log and provide so pictures that would help to understand what your struggling with. Glad to help if I can.

    welcome Bob j. Fellow mainer here. Welcome to this great hobby.

    some pic to catch up my photos of my build. I should be finishing this build soon. Got more pic coming soon of finishing touches.

    Been awhile with posting on my build. Hope everyone is still watching the Andrea Gail build log. I am at the point with adding deck fixtures and finishing pieces.

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.
