    I had a rough time with the imperfections of the bottom. Different surfaces, wood, glue, glaze putty, Bondo filler, scratches etc. finally got it to an acceptable level. Will sand and apply 3 more coats then mask to put the sides in white.

    Roger i am not going to show the plates on this one maybe when i build the plank on frame i will reconsider. In the mean time i will do some experimentation like you are doing. On another note I got this book on marine steam engines. Should be interesting reading over the next month. I am still fighting up to find the exact design for the boiler and fire box.

    Thanks Bob I have the riveting instruction (see attached) and also found a similar ship built around the same time but by a different ship yard that was restored But used a similar construction, so I plan to follow this.

    Lining up the post. I was surprised that only a few had trouble lining up. Inner stanchions come on Tuesday with my daughter from New York.

    I have ordered these 3D printed air vents which are to scale. Hopefully they are what they say they are. If they turn out ok 3D offers the hobby great possibilities. I have a number of friends that have 3D printers but no one is prepared to do the design work to get the pieces printed. I am thinking of learning some form of autocad so that i can do the design work and then send them for printing.

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.
