    Hi Neptune, I was not thinking about doing the planking on the side. I may start looking into this and think about that I could be a good idea.

    Here we go. Finally decided to get started on this project. Never done a wooden ship before. I have decided to start with a solid hull as it seemed.a little bit less overwhelming. I am treating this model as an experimentation to prepare for some bigger project and I have my shelves. The kit is very nice and the directions seemed clear enough. I started by sanding the hull and adding a coat of wood filler. After a final sanding session I was able to get a nice smooth finish. the direction on the kit, was asking you draw lines on the hull in lieu of deck planking. I have decided to practice planking by using thin strip of wood 3mm×50mm and glue them on the deck. I am having some difficulty with the angles and how to treat the edges. Good learning experience! !! Here are some pics to get started. I would appreciate suggestions and recommendations.

    Hi Clare, Thank you for the information, this is exactly what I needed. I will check out the Shipyard website. I just purchased their Caravela Pinta model from eBay. My first paper model! I look forward to see more of your progress. - JP

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.
