    I deleted the picture of my Red Dragon build from your thread , didn't want to confuse your followers.

    Nice work.

    Finished initial planking of the deck. Regular Elmer's wood glue worked great. Thanks for the tip Nigel.

    Had to skip ahead a bit and attach the keel to be able to fasten it to the keel klamp .

    Thanks for the info.

    Saw another member use this tool . Arrived today. Can't wait to use it.

    I sprayed the hull with shellac before attaching the false deck. To keep it together more than anything else. The lining is very fragile and tends to splinter at the edges. P.S. : Fingerprint scanners do not work after a few hours of model building. ( lesson learned ). lol

    Hull lining completed. ( I have a little touching up to do)
  10. Carmelo5150
    Started on the hull lining. The instructions suggest you use contact cement. I used quick dying ( cyanoacrylate ) on one side and white glue ( carpenter's ) on the other side for just a couple of strips and found they both work. Is there any specific reason you would need a specific adhesive ? Just curious.

    I don't mind at all , Nigel. I've already picked up a few good ideas from your build.
  12. Carmelo5150
    Looks great ! That clamp is a great idea. Is that something you made or bought ?
  13. Carmelo5150
    Welcome aboard! Nice work.

    Thanks , Frank.

    Planking completed.
  17. Carmelo5150
    It's a shame they want me to cover all this work up with a veneer.
  18. Carmelo5150
    You folks make it look easy. Not as neat as I'd like it to be .
  19. Carmelo5150
    So far , so good.
  20. Carmelo5150
    A learning experience....
  21. Carmelo5150
    After a few small Midwest models , I'm trying my hand at something bigger. Here we go....

    Looks awesome! Just started my Red Dragon after finishing a few small kits. As soon as I figure it out I'll start a build log.

    I bought a collection of vintage models a few weeks ago. They are from the 1940's and 1950's. I've noticed that some of the parts are made of lead. Oars, Figureheads, etc . Is it safe to work on these models or should I try to fashion the lead parts out of wood ? I've attached pics. Thanks.

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.
