Mike- I decided not to because the plans don't show it recessed, and because I'm not sure if I am ready to do that level of carving. Jparsley- I'm not sure how to give a deck an aged look, but I am open to suggestions!

I have finished coppering! Now I will thin the bulwarks! If you see any fingerprints, those are from before I started coppering, when I first started making copper plates. Until next time!

Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone! I was wondering, do ships grow on trees? They seem to keep falling into my hands . I just received an old T-2 tanker Kit by Bluejacket Shipcrafters! The kit is worth $400! Maybe ships don't grow on trees, but it might be possible that ships attract more ships . Now it is time to copper my hull! Until next time!

Today is my birthday, and I got the continental gunboat Philidelphia! It looks pretty good, but when I build it, I will want to get a few replacement parts. But first, I need to finish my Phantom! I will be back from vacation soon! Until next time!

Well, after a few restarts, a bunch of wasted copper, and a few lessons learned, I have started the task of coppering ! I just hope I have enough copper, but I can always get some more from model expo for free, as they have a great replacement parts policy. Anyway, this is going to be a great learning experience! I am using the rubber/plastic gloves to keep from getting finger prints on the plates. That's all for now. Thursday, I am going on an 8 day vacation, so I will be gone for a while. I wI'll come back with me next ship, and will start building that after my phantom. I'm getting ahead of myself, aren't I? It will give me some incentive to finish. Until next time!

Thanks guys! I am finalizing my jig for cutting the copper planks, and will show it soon. It is based off of a jig by one of the other phantom builders. I think it is based on the one by Flounderfillet5, but I may be remembering incorrectly.

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.
