    Welcome Andy! That's an ambitious second project you've chosen! Good luck with your new adventure, it would be great if you kept a build log.

    And patience! With the shorter attention spans of the younger generation, such a slow hobby might not be so appealing. I think that changes as you get older and live more slowly. Plus, history often becomes more interesting again as you get older I think

    Yes to all questions...durations of soaking is usually 15 min. or so in warm water...just experiment yourself When you clamp the plank to the deck it's sometimes nessecary to use a little piece of scrapwood between the clamp and soaked plank. Because of the wood is soft with all the water in it, you won't damage it with clamps. That said...walnut is pretty hard, but personally I would better be safe then sorry.

    That's going to be a monster! Will be nice to see this Dutch ship come alive

    Good to see a build log from you Yes a pencil will be good for caulking lines. I use the more softer ones, because that is easier in my experience (below HB)...for the Sphinx and Pickle I used a 1B. PVA is just fine to glue the deck planks. Not sure what deck layout the Bluenose had, so you could investigate that. And yes I would round off that false deck first before placing the walnut sheets. You want them flat against the hull, so fairing the hull first
  22. Ronald-V
    Great work GrandpaPhil! Another nice addition to your fleet
  23. Ronald-V
    You've come a long way! Nice work!
  24. Ronald-V
    The smooth surface is so satisfying to watch🫠
  25. Ronald-V
    I do like the overall yellow color with the depth in it. I'm with the Sphinx also at this point, painting the stern decoration and such (not started yet) so i'm learning a lot from this
  26. Ronald-V
    You're a woodartist!
  27. Ronald-V
    Have fun with this one! I'm a person that not has the mental room to do more ship projects at once...to confusing haha, but it's nice to see that there are people who have multiple projects 👌
  28. Ronald-V
    Yes I like your solution too...that's going to look more then fine
  29. Ronald-V
    That looks really good, what kind of wood did you use for the moulding? (maybe I missed it while reading)

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.
