    Just a small update...planking goes slowly but steady. Bear in mind that it still needs to be scraped.
  27. mugje
    Wonderful progress so far! Your build looks excellent
  28. mugje
    Your last build...the AVS turned out great! So it will be fun to watch you tackle this one!

    If the coppering gets older with a nice patina, the effect is really nice I can assure you! But also a matter of taste offcourse

    Great review, and what an extensive kit!
  31. mugje
    Thanks for the tip Gregory! I now scribed a line in the wood with a small knife and filled that up with a dark wood filler, and sanded afterwards the excess filler. That seemed to work also quite ok.
  32. mugje
    Wow you did a really nice job so far! Nice clean and detailed work! Going to follow this log
  33. mugje
    Tnx Richard!

    Thanks Landlubber Mike and Blue Ensign! And everyone for the likes! No it's not the wood from the kit. I replaced it with maple from Arkowood. I'm still in doubt if i'm going to use the pattern in TFFM. Maybe doing some test pieces to see how it looks. Not sure if i'm going to like the overall looks of it. It's nice to have two options...the pattern in TFFM or just more a regular pattern with straight planks, because both would be correct I think. The curve in the deck planking was for me also a bridge to far and indeed...not really visible in the end

    need to learn a bit more about the camera that I borrowed...not everything is clear...sorry for that

    So...some update pics of the planking around the hatches. That's finished for now. There is some color tone difference in the planks, but that will age in the same color. There was quite a time gap in placing the darker, more yellow pieces and the bright ones. The bright ones are coming fresh out of a box and the rest layd on the working table a couple of weeks The mast piece has some scribed lines in it, filled with a dark wood filler. There comes a ring around the mast base of approx. 12mm that covers most of these lines. So it's going to look better, and simulates that the base is made of several pieces. The pieces were to small for me to actually make them so I chose this solution. The gratings aren't glued yet so that's why one of them tumbles almost out of the coaming Next step is just plank away the rest of the deck in a 3 butt shift pattern. Still in doubt if I going to use the "top and butt" planking for the deck. Not sure if i'm going to like the appearance of it. Also because it's not certain that the deck actually looked like this and that is was a "possibility". But first some normal rows at both sides.

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.
