    For the past couple days i have been Planking the Bluenose,the planking is coming along pretty good, and pretty even so far. I'm trying to take my time with this because I want this to go on as even as possible. I am planking each side as I go to keep from have a WOW effect (warping of Hull) to the ship as you can see this is going on pretty even on each side

    and also I have been using weldbond glue in a rather large bottle that seemed to hinder my progress... The nozzle on the top was a too big and I always kept getting more on the project than I needed. So my wife had went out and purchased a small bottle with a longer thinner nozzle. I tell you what it sure help make the glue process allot better and less of a mess. here is a pic of the bottle with glue added to it She was watching for few minutes and replied " you need something better than that big bottle " then she disappeared for about an hour then came in with this bottle!

    Today I would like to show you what Nirvana used aid him on His "18th century Long Boat" for his planking and where I used to help me. These are paper clips/binders. What you do is take one and separate the silver finger levers and then add them to the other clip. I found they work really nice!

    Today I purchased some more clamps, And I will be using the Black binder clips also purchased today, as Nirvana is using on his "18th century Long Boat" I'll use them to aid in the planking of the Bluenose here. Those of you curious about the "18th Century Long Boat Group Project" please check it out there is allot of talent there, I was learning allot just reading some the build logs. John

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.
