    Usually you place the first plank half it's width below the deck. Remember to make sure that the bulkheads are square, if you haven't done so already. Good luck !

    Very nice planking! She's looking great!

    I am currently in the process of shaping the starboard side, which is my first. I'm nervous because I don't currently have wood filler, and I can not fill areas needing filling. If you look, you can see I have a couple arrows pointing to big spots needing filling . I found out that my school has a wood shop, and I will try to take a look at it tomorrow. There is a lot of extra wood at the bow. Sorry for all the pictures, I'm exited to be onto a new task! Have fun with your builds! I'm trying to catch back up. Until next time!

    Sjors, I was on a long vacation in massanutten Virginia, and the wifi was horrible. I made it through by canoeing and visiting the national museum of American history .

    Nice planking Mike!
  13. Elijah
    Mike, I handled it by canoeing and visiting interesting items in the Smithsonian, including the gunboat Philadelphia. That one is now on my "to build" list . Wayne, I visited Massanutten, near the blue ridge mountains and the Shenandoah valley. Being from Illinois, I'm not used to seeing mountains! Now, back to work .

    Good luck! Have you checked that all the bulkheads are squared up to the keel, and that the keel is straight?
  15. Elijah
    Hello everybody! Last night I got back from Virginia, and I hope to get some work done today! Hopefully I will have my wood filler. I will also need to catch up with the 384 posts I've missed . I hope to update soon!
  16. Elijah
    Looking good! Sorry about the difficulty with that hull .
  17. Elijah
    Looks good to me, Ian! Good luck and have fun. At this rate, you shouldn't be gone from the victory long!
  18. Elijah
    Sorry, I haven't had reliable wifi in these mountains, so it's hard to keep up with your build. She's looking even better from last time! I look forward to seeing her again!
  19. Elijah
    Looks good! I look forward to seeing your stand!
  20. Elijah
    Good luck Mark!
  21. Elijah
    Looks good!

    Very nice and detailed work Patrick! I like those couches, as well as the kitchen (galley)!
  23. Elijah
    Nice carronade Jesse! They're gonna look great !
  24. Elijah
    Here's this. I might be able to send more later.
  25. Elijah
    I have finished cutting and trimming my frames ! Now onto the slightly daunting task of shaping the hull…. I'm going to try to get some wood filler tomorrow before I leave for my vacation, and I hope I can do this hull justice! But first, a good dinner, and maybe some reviewing of research. Wish me luck! I hope I won't need it…

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.
