    Exciting! Indeed curious how many hours it will take for James...we all know he works with some magic lightning speed
  2. Ronald-V
    Lovely!

    That Indy is a beautiful design! I wish i had more money on my bank account! 😮

    Great build so far! Nice to see another Pegasus build log...it will be interesting to follow!

    I have the same feeling about them as you...i also do like the more traditional look without the decorations. And regarding the black or blue color... that's something to think about indeed. Thanks for your input!

    Looks great man! you've come a long way. You did not use the golden side decorations? I'm doubting myself to to use them. I'm not sure if i like the look of them.
  7. Ronald-V
    That is a really neat finish, so clean! Nice job!

    That is a beautiful result! And what a nice presentation of the ship, i really like it

    I understand what you mean...it does look too monotonous, but a great time-saver for those who don't like to plank the deck. But i would too plank it over with some nice planks.

    Really nice coppering job!

    Looks nice!!

    Looks great!! My intention was also to use the "top and butt" planks for the wales, but with the curves in the bow it looked a bit daunting...but good to see you managed it well...gives me also a bit of confidence to tackle it
  18. Ronald-V
    So clean! 😮
  19. Ronald-V
    That is going fast! Nice job!👍
  20. Ronald-V
    Great to hear your bussiness is going well.👍

    Looks good indeed! If you need more curve in the middle, you can always use some planks between the clamp and the strips. But maybe that isn't necessary...it is a bit hard to tell on the photos.

    Looks good! Bulkhead 12 could be a bit more faired, it needs a lot fairing to get a smooth transition to bulkhead 13. But you can sand the planks also afterwards, so no problem.
  23. Ronald-V
    Well done! I'm also in the sanding part of the first layer. Good idea to test the counter...will do that
  24. Ronald-V
    That's certainly a good tip of Richard44 to place the garboard strake also in advance. First thing to say is...don't overthink indeed. Especially with your first ship. I didn't understand that whole planking process neither with my first ship that I build. It's important that you get an understanding how the planks are behaving etc. So a lot on feel works fine in the beginning. That being said...if you want to use the numbers and math I found that Chuck Passaro has the most clear explanation to me about planking. http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Framing_and_Planking/Lining Off your hull for planking.pdf And the video's of the side bending process are also quite helpful! That made a lot of difference to me.

    For accuracy and quality you should look at the Caldercraft version. But they are quite old kits and the instructions aren't that good probably, and sometimes the walnut in those kits aren't great either. But Caldercraft is most of the time one of the best with everything true on scale etc. Maybe you can find some build logs on this forum to compare the kits, and what you prefer the most.

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.
