Paul, I did, but it was a light sanding to knock the edges off a few frames. A wee bit of twisting, mostly. And I sanded those vertically, so I wouldn't knock any more off. Line off the stem against the drawing to ensue you keep the strake ends lined up in the rabbet. I copied the plan onto some card and cut it up to get right in that the area. And I cut a card template to shape the stem, too. Fun, huh?

Well done, Erik. Like the others, I look forward to your next build.

Not at all, Paul. I grew up not far from Cresskil; over in Lodi. I'm getting back into the wood side again. The card boat is on hold until I can make smoother circular cuts in the cardstock. I can't smooth it as much as I'd like. You should also look at the builds by Matt (Squirrel Whisperer), Captain Steve and Mario. Good work on those.

Looks like you're off to a good, Elijah.

Keith, they seem to have done a better job in recovering parts of USS Monitor and working diligently to preserve what they've brought up already. Same for CSS Hunley. Some other wrecks, like CSS Neuse, weren't so lucky, either. The perils of well meaning amateurs.

Good recovery, Sal. Merry Christmas to you and the family.

Gabe, the only thing I could think of for the gluing is to rough up or scuff the contact areas with some fine sand paper. Increase the bonding surfaces on a micro level. I'm not familiar with your glue brand, but the Titebond and Elmer's yellow glues I use seem to bond and hold quite well. The wood will break before the Titebond does.

If I was much sharper as a machinist (not even close), I might want one. What are the damages for that jewel? -
Good idea using the thin white scenery glue. The flags have nice folds.

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.
