    Had some more time for a few more planks. What can I say? I am having fun. The ports ide has two more full strakes and parts of two other strakes left to go. Then back to the starboard side. Russ

    John: Thanks. I really appreciate it. Russ

    Pat: Thanks. Russ

    Some more progress. I have done some sanding on the port side planking to see what I had and, while there are some areas I am not happy with, it is not too bad. Russ

    Sam: The ratlines look pretty good to me. The knots are very well done to my eye. They look like they are in scale. Nice work. Russ

    Nice progress. Making the angles on the ends of the beams looks like a challenge. Good work. Russ

    Pat: Thanks. The planks do butt up fine. Russ

    Pat: Nice details. Your inner bulwarks are really something. Lots of detail and it all looks right on the mark for scale. I agree about getting all those fittings in along the bulwarks. It would be the devil to try and get them after painting. I am looking forward to much the same issue on my build. Russ

    There was a little progress today. The planking is proceeding and, although it has not been sanded and is a little rough, it is getting there. Russ

    Bill: Your planking is coming along nicely. Russ

    Bluejacket sells a chemical toner for Britannia metal and they might also sell a paint primer for it, but I am not sure. If painted, they will need some sort of primer so that the paint will have something to attach to. Russ

    That looks very sturdy. So long as she will not roll on you, I think that will work. Russ

    Andrew: Your making very good progress. Good work. However, rigging and cats are a recipe for disaster. Please beware. Russ

    Your model is coming along very well. Nice work. Holding the model in some sort of bench mounted vise will probably do the trick. I have seen that done with several models over the years. Seems to work pretty well. The best vises allow you to swivel the model around to different angles. Russ

    Carl: Thanks for the kind words. Russ

    Very impressive work. Well done. Russ

    The starboard sheer line looks fantastic. The port looks very good with the one issue you noticed. I see it. Not sure what is causing it. However, the model looks great. The method for carving the chine is a good one. I will file that away for future reference. Good work. Russ

    Very nice looking deck planking. I must try holly one day. Russ

    A rainy day and some progress. The lower belt is complete on both sides. No sanding yet on the port side. This is still a little rough looking, but you can see how the planking lines look. Russ

    Well done. You have a good method. Russ

    Kenneth: You are too kind. Thanks. With the rain coming, I should have an opportunity to make some progress on the planking. Russ

    The planking looks pretty good. Please eyeball the sheer strake on the starboard side. It is probably the camera playing tricks with me, but it looks like there is a hump along the edge of the deck at the first plank butt. Probably a bad angle for me, but please have a look and make sure. Russ

    John: Thanks. I appreciate it. I am hoping to get near your expertise one day. Russ

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.
