    That's a very handsome model -- congratulations!

    Correct, but bear in mind that the amount that you need to remove from each bulkhead may change slightly from top-to-bottom. Use a planking strip to check your progress. Ideally, at each bulkhead the plank should lie flat across the edge with no sharp bend in the plank and no gaps between it and the bulkhead. It's one of the skills that comes with the territory -- you'll get the hang of it.

    No worries! In fact, you still have a lot of sanding left to do! The blocks you have glued in at the bow and stern -- the filler blocks -- need to be sanded to match the contours of the false decks above them and the bulkheads adjacent to them. The bulkheads also need to be bevelled so that your planks will not form a sharp kink at each bulkhead. You'll want your planks to form smooth curves from stem to stern. Midship bulkheads require little bevelling, if any, but those at the bow and stern may need quite a bit, especially on bluff-bowed subjects like Halifax. Good luck!

    "Told by whom?" is the question. $800? Sheesh! 🙄

    Dia dhuit! Search through the build log index. There are several builds of this kit in progress.

    Merging of topics needs to be done by a moderator. Adding to an existing log is done simply by using the reply window after the most recent post, just as you replied in this topic.

    Fixed! Michael, I really do hope your fine restoration effort finds a worthy new home.

    Fantastic work -- worth the wait!

    Loved this book and its film adaptation when I was a kid.

    Have fun!

    Great start!

    Prepping for fiberglass continues. Bottom panels and fillets sanded smooth, #2 strakes taped off, and fiberglass draped and smoothed.

    I'm keen to see how this one turns out. Baltimore clippers are not rare in our hobby, but we don't see the Panart version often.

    Hello, Dart. Lovely model, but this one should also be moved to a gallery album. Thanks!

    Here's a tip: you will get a lot more views of your post, along with potential answers to your question, if you give your topic an appropriate title, not just your username. I fixed it for you this time.

    Wow. I would cry tears of joy if I could get a planking job that looked that good done in a day. 😑

    Slowly catching White Tail up to Spanish Nationalist.

    It's not really so much "wrong" as it is a wasted effort by our members. Loose images are easily overlooked, and if they're not renamed, then they don't show up in search results, e.g. no one searches for "IMG_0001." We appreciate your giving attention to this!

    ⚠️**ATTENTION! NOW HEAR THIS!** ⚠️ I'm giving this topic a bump, because there are members out there who are not getting our message that your gallery images NEED TO BE PLACED IN ALBUMS and are in iminent danger of being deleted! 😬 Please move your loose images to albums ASAP!

    Interesting. The printed parts I've seen before, but partially routed is something new -- to me at least.
  21. ccoyle
    Ah, I have been eagerly awaiting this post ever since you updated us about the flag halyards. What a splendid result! I hope you will create a gallery album for us. Cheers!
  22. ccoyle
    Welcome aboard! BlueJacket's owner, Nic Damuck, and one of their designers, Al Ross, are both members here. I'm sure they'll be interested in seeing your project get underway. Cheers!

    Welcome, Colin! Not sure what kind of morality question plays into it, but you are certainly welcome to post your log here, and based on your previous models I expect that your Le Superbe will be, well, superb!
  24. ccoyle
    Smashing result! Great photo set, too!

    I lived in Rincon Valley for four years as a kid, and my dad taught at SRHS.

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.
