    Changed my screen name by the way...now it's just my birth name, feels a bit more personal

    Thanks Glenn I soaked the garboard planks for a half hour in some warm water, and installed them with sufficient clamps onto the ship against the keel. I've read in the planking PDF that it's easier to keep the garboard strake in one piece, and that sounds like a good plan. So probably will do that It's beautiful weather today here in Holland so this was a nice little job to do and I can now let it dry for 24h...good excuse to go outside!

    Looking good! Kinda funny when your girlfriend needs your shipbuilding tool to iron her clothes I bought myself a little travel iron...they are a bit smaller than the usual ones which is a bit more handy.

    It really does, it makes it fresh and light. I think it draws also more light in the cabin when the ship is finished with the deck on top.

    Thanks! I hope it will look good after sanding...there is a bit of fear that when sanding, seams will appear because I have not bevelled the edges enough or something like that. But that's a bit of insecurity from my part...we will see. I have made some mistakes with the planks fitting into the rabbet, especially at the bow. I will make later some pictures of that, so others can learn from it. (basicly I sanded the first layer too much so there is a gap between the final planking and rabbet, will fill that up with some sanding dust) Thanks everyone for the likes! appreciate it!

    Small update: Finish line is in sight, just closed the 3rd band. One more band on both sides, and I'm done. I thought the 3rd band would be easy, but the first 3 strakes at the stern were the hardest I've encountered. The sharp curve up was difficult. A combination of measuring, using a template and just eyeballing worked reasonably well. Now first the garboard strake and continue working from there. Photo's are a bit crappy, when it's finished I will shoot some better pics. Not sanded yet

    Those curved gratings look so nice...you wouldn't say a slight curve would make such a difference in appearance...but it does!

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.
