    The keel and sternpost are being installed. The sternpost was already installed, but the keel is glueing. The last thing to glue is the stempost. Maybe I will be able to glue it Wednesday. I guess it is time to start the rudder, deck carving, bulwark thinning, and planking! Until next time!

    Thanks everybody for the compliments and answers! I will be attempting to finish and install the keel tonight. It getting done depends on how much time I can scavenge. I will have pictures when it is done/glueing!

    Nice painting!

    Looks like I get the third chair! This looks interesting!

    It looks to me like a spiked plank would best fit in that area. Good luck!

    I like this boat, I hope you don't mind me following along. I'll have to find somewhere to sit or hang out .

    Nice planking!

    I will be planking the hull with cherry veneer, but it will be painted and coppered.

    I haven't made it yet, and there is no laser cut cutout. You have to make it yourself. Does the sternpost get planked over?

    Nice job! She is growing quickly!

    I can easily say I am following too many build, but I can't resist clicking the button for this one ! This should be fun!

    Those sails look great! I will have to try the tea soak sometime.

    The catheads look great! I like the sheaves!

    This should be fun to follow! She's a nice boat!

    Nice planking! You're almost there!

    Thanks for the comments guys! I was wondering, since I'm planking the hull, will the rudder need to be a little wider? I'm thinking I will try to build it the same way I have been making the stem post. I noticed that the grating in the kit is way to large, and the one shown in the plans is almost impossibly small, so I think I will try to 3D print it. Anyway, you can probably tell that a lot is going through my head !

    Looks like a nice ship you have there! I will follow as well, if I may.

    She looks great! Being a beginner, I don't see any mistakes .
  21. Elijah
    They look very good! Nice job!

    Aaaaaaannnnnd, Tada! I did it! Finally! That took a while! Wow, that's probably the largest single step in the build so far! I accidently made the area to support the keel and sternpost a but too thin, but I will fix that after I fit the keel on. That way it will be flush with the hull. I have a little more sanding to do on the stem post before it is done. After the keel installation is deck carving, as well as the indent in the bulwarks. Then probably scupper carving, bowsprit slot, and hull planking! I have a lot to do! Before anything else, bedtime! Until next time!

    Nice weathering!
  24. Elijah
    Wow! Nice pillows! How is that even possible !?! I like the blue cushioned couch with the foot rest!

    Ahh, I will have a look. Maybe I will be able to get it on Sunday, but that is Mother's Day, so maybe not.

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.
