    You can review the instructions to the Willie Bennett on the Model Shipways website. I just started mine last night (Build log to come).

    Wow. Somehow sawing in half seem like an "extreme" way to establish the centerline. My bandsaw blade tends to wander, that would be a problem.

    I am also a newbie. I also have purchased the Sultana and have been reading the practicum. I went to Amazon and noticed you can purchase a center ruler to assist in marking the centerline of the upper deck. As for the bottom, I think I would make a platform with two right angle rulers to press up against each side and then use the center ruler to measure between the right angle uprights (If that make sense). I want to add a question. The practicum calls for quite a bit of sculpting the solid hull with knifes, files and sandpaper. How do you guys hold a hull while doing this. A vise? What kind of protection do you use to keep from damaging the hull. I have a good size workbench vise and have heard you can buy some leather covers for the sides of the vice. Any help would be appreciated.

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.
