    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.

    Welcome! That's already a nice result! I encourage you to start a build log so people can follow your build

    Such an impressive display when it's rigged...wonderful!

    personally I would fill the empty spaces between the MDF pieces at the stern, and then sand it like the shape it needs to be. It gives me more visual aid to see how everything needs to fit. I found this helpful with my Sphinx build. But maybe others have better tips for this

    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.

    Welkom!

    If I would do it by hand...it would be pretty easy with a good set of masking tape?

    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!

    The deck turned out lovely! Well done
  21. Ronald-V
    Why do you ask someone else when you are the judge of it? You have to look at it...so you decide what's beautiful/good enough is?
  22. Ronald-V
    Wow that's fast! Looking good
  23. Ronald-V
    Those are a nice addition to your wonderful model!
  24. Ronald-V
    That looks amazing! The case is a nice finish for this model
  25. Ronald-V
    Nice choice and have fun with this beast!

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.
