    Looks like a plan!
  3. Ronald-V
    Welkom!

    Agree with the other compliments....that is a lovely planking job!
  5. Ronald-V
    Congratulations! Fantastic result! Hard to believe it's just mainly paper...

    Fantastic! It looks so good in the natural light!
  7. Ronald-V
    That looks beautiful! So neat and tidy

    Thanks Peter!

    Man you are doing such a fine job with this ship in that scale! The hull planking is really nice! And good details overall

    Don't think it's overkill to tackle this ship in the way you do. Learning the process by just doing it, even on a little ship like this will help tremendously in understanding it and refine your skills.

    Thanks AJohnson...it looks neater than it was when I see a crack or seam, I fill it immediately with some glue and sawdust, so it looks maybe real good, but there were here and there some seams. And that's okay ofcourse...good practice this first layer

    That's sweet!

    Thanks B.E. And everyone else for the likes

    Thank Theodosius. I found those curves in my previous planking experiences one of the most difficult parts to get right, so this time I spended a lot of time to understand what happens there under her booty, instead of just doing something and hoping for the best

    First band at starboard side filled...gave it a light sand with a coarse grit paper...nothing close to finishing, but only the rough spots cleaned up. Now further with port side.

    Good to hear you are okay!
  18. Ronald-V
    That looks beautiful!
  19. Ronald-V
    You are really going the extra mile! Looks great!

    Finisht with lining off the hull...I actually wanted to take a little longer for this process, but the tape didn't stick that great on the MDF bulkheads, so I rushed a bit through it because it was quite annoying when the tape constantly fell off. I do think it will stick way better on the first layer of wood when that is ready, due to the larger sticking surface and less porous wood. And that being said...lining of the hull for the first layer is just practice, it doesn't have to be perfect and it's more the experience I gain with just doing it. Lining off the hull doesn't look like a exact science and looks more something that you are getting better at through just doing it, and learn from it. So now I began filling up the first band

    Looking great!

    Combination of heat and a plank bender from Amati. You can use ofcourse also water and soak the plank first. Most important is that you use a plank that is longer then the finisht one. So overextending with a few centimeters/inch will make the bending process much easier. (same as for edge bending) And patience....so take your time to get the curve you need....it doesn't have to be in one bend, but a bit further everytime. Otherwise it will just split. And a bit of CA glue at the tip will hold the plank down. Rest of the plank just PVA. Thanks everyone for the likes! Much appreciated

    That looks real good!

    Thanks James! It took some time to figure that out, and i'm happy how it turned out

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.
