    I think the best way to show spiled planks is to have a look at Chuck's tutorial on planking here: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-framing-and-planking-articles.php  (Planking Tutorial - Lining Off a Hull Chuck Passaro)

     

    It's a method of cutting planks - you start with wood that is wider than normal planks so that you can cut them with the curve especially at the bow.  This means you can't use the planks that came with the kit though, since they are already narrow strips. The plank at the top of the photo has been cut to the curved shape, not bent. Hope this helps.

    Piet: Thank-you for your kind comments and for stopping by!

     

    Grant: Thank-you! Fanciest facilities around - locally anyway.  :P

     

    Sjors: Thank-you! Getting it to fit perfectly is much easier when it's a scratch build.....better than some of the kit parts that seem like they were made for a different ship! You'll have to give it a try after your Aggy.

     

    Nenad: Thank-you! I'm having a lot of fun with the carving - now back to the rest of the gun port liners which are not nearly as much fun. :huh:

     

    David: Thank-you as well! I was going to check out your builds, but no link to any logs - will we see that in the future?

     

    Brian: Thank-you! I'm trying my best to keep it neat, makes good practice for a future scratch POF - if I am brave enough. (Your HMY Fubbs is beautiful)

     

    Popeye: Thank-you! I wasn't sure about the colour at first, but when I mustered up the courage to apply a coat I was happy with it. The making of those railings helped raise the level of my scrap box!

    Dan: Thank-you for the info - makes complete sense. There are some good resources for identifying ship parts, but they are listed by the part names followed by a description. If you don't know the name, as in my case, then it's a long tedious task going through the list to find what you're looking for. 

     

    Michael: Thank-you as well! The term "drop" had conjured images of dew drops, tear drops, decorative drops of the lower skirt of fine furniture etc., but now.........I guess it's a decorative 'toilet bowl' as well!!  :D

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.
