    Regarding not planking the deadwood...I don't know if you are going to paint the hull white, then it really doesn't matter, but the "facings" that cover the stern post are 1mm thick and the supplied planking is 0.8mm thick. So if you want to level that out then it would be handy to cover a bit of the deadwood and sand it back to the required thickness that would level everything out in the end result. I used some filler afterwards because I also didn't plank the deadwood, but saw later the thickness differences in the wood. Hope my store makes a bit sense lol. Great planking by the way! Nice base for the second layer.

    Update: Closed the second band on both sides, so now i'm about the halfway point of the hull. Progress feels really slow, but I thought I needed about a half year for the hull planking, but i'm nearly 2 months underway, so that's a faster then I expected. I think I have the more difficult strakes behind me, apart from the garboard strake. But who knows...maybe there are some difficult planks here and there...we will see. I'm still having fun with planking! By the way...it needs to see a piece of sanding paper yet.

    Such an impressive display when it's rigged...wonderful!
  19. Ronald-V
    That's amazing! My guess this will be a top seller

    I must say...that white does look really good. Maybe even for my own build. Not sure what the correct colors would be in that time, but this looks really nice.
  21. Ronald-V
    Welkom!
  22. Ronald-V
    If I would do it by hand...it would be pretty easy with a good set of masking tape?
  23. Ronald-V
    Just a photo because I was dividing the second belt on my Spinx...maybe it helps with some visuals. I divided the hull first in the appropriate belts that you find in the helpful links posted earlier. On this photo i'm dividing the second belt at the bow. You do this with every belt...until it's closed

    Great start! Recognize the part of "oh that's clever", had that many times myself. This kit is well designed. Enjoy your build!

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.
