    This morning, I was able to get about one hour of freedom with the kids and completed the other side. The symmetry is not perfect but I think it will be ok in the long run. Fingers crossed!

    Started to plank the ship. Slow and steady.

    I decided to use a piece of poplar I had. Since it will be painted in black it should not be anecessary issue.

    I have this kit and I will be following your progress. Have fun !!

    Hey Brian, I was referring to the curved fashion piece. I guess I have to get some asap. Thanks for the prompt feedback.

    I need some suggestions on how the AVS builders have bended this piece. I am not sure how to tackle this so the piece of walnut is hard and thick. What should I do?

    OK, so I continue working on the transom and I decided to take a different approach than the plan indicates. I wanted the taffrail to have more of a courbe. I know it is not in the directions but since this is a fictional ship so i decided to take this little liberty. At this point, it is pretty abrupt but i can soften it if needed when i will be installing the taffrail. Is it a big no no?

    You are right Brian! Just a bit frustrated to have spent some much time and not having the desired results. It is part of the process and experience i guess

    Finished the second planking of the transom and dry fitted the windows. Some mistakes already :/

    Small Update on this log. I have completed the first planking of the transom and added some stoppers to prevent the windows to fall through (Thanks for the recommendation Brian). Painted the inside of the inside of the cabin black, not very carefully as you can see on the picture. Of course, it is going to be cover so it does really matter. Started the second planking in Walnut. On this picture, the back does not look straight but this is really a visual effect. The square confirmed it.

    Installed the waterways and started planking the transom.

    Monsieur... Votre modèle est incroyable. Les détails et la précision de votre travail sont exemplaires. Magnifique!!!

    Thanks Zoltan. This is very useful to know. My plan will be to drill the holes in a rough matter at an earlier and to cover them with the scupper and black strake. In this case it will achieve both goals, which is a clean look while still allowing it holes to go all the way through.

    Amazing work!!!
  19. captgino
    That is a pretty cool build! I will definitely follow up its progression. Well done so far !!!

    Hi Zoltan, Thanks for the note. The scupper is the inside part above the waterways and mirroring that piece on the outside of the hull is the black strake, correct? The holes should be going across the hull. My plan was to install the waterways start working on this scupper and I would get the correct height and placement to start drilling. Are you suggesting to remove the 1/8 all together and determine the scupper holes location?

    Worked on the Wales this evening.

    Happy birthday
  23. captgino
    I have also worked on the timberhead and the Knighthead. It is a ok result. I may try to redo them but I haven't decided yet
  24. captgino
    Made some dust last night and sanded the transom. After looking at it this morning I think I may have to do some touch up here and there
  25. captgino
    Thanks Zoltan. I got a bottle of Krystal Klear and I think I will go with that. However I will keep this in mind for my next build

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.
