    Well done! I'm also in the sanding part of the first layer. Good idea to test the counter...will do that

    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.

    Great start Tim with this beautiful ship!

    Cute dogs! And the ship is looking great Chris! I think it's going to be a great succes. I was amazed about the size of the ship, it looks way bigger then the actual measurements.

    Very well done Sir! It turned out great! This will be a popular model for Vanguard Models I think...and 10 weeks building time is just ridiculous James 😄

    Your doing great Richard! Looks very good...I had the same thing with the TFFM, you can't follow it exactly so just chosing some things to replicate and some things not. It's indeed still a kit...

    Nice to see this kit in a build log! I'm following
  12. Ronald-V
    quite bizarre how much you can achieve with machining and laser cutting literally everything! Great kit and review again James
  13. Ronald-V
    I found it also by that, amazing work so far PJG!
  14. Ronald-V
    Welkom Gerco!
  15. Ronald-V
    Looking great so far! Nice tips also
  16. Ronald-V
    Amazing work on the blocks! 😮

    Really interesting ship and nice scale also to build in. Sad to hear that the instructions are not that well...you would think it isn't that difficult to find someone who can write a descent Englisch manual these days.

    Well done Sir! You can be proud of your build! And i'm very curious about the Ontario from Marisstella, so I hope your are going to do a build log again!
  19. Ronald-V
    you're progress is quite fast!
  20. Ronald-V
    That's some serious progress!

    Looks like a very nice subject to build! I'm considering it to when the time comes...but i'm nowhere near finishing the Pegasus yet, so first things first. Would be nice to see a build log from you here!
  22. Ronald-V
    Received the book yesterday and very happy with it! Looks like a very thorough book with a wealth of information in it! Will come in handy when the time comes to go scratch
  23. Ronald-V
    Very nice job on the deck planks Edward! Looking neat and sharp 👍. Nice that you try new things
  24. Ronald-V
    that looks so perfect!!

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.
