    Dave: I think you're on the right track with regard to the "mooring chock". I'm at the point of laying the 3rd & 4th deck planks on the quarter deck. I know to cut the planks approx. 12'', lay it along side the 1st planks & mark it where the 1st plank ends. At that point I cut a notch just deep enough for the 1st plank to nestle in. Where I'm confused is how far forward from that notch do I taper planks 3 & 4? Also do I taper the outside edge of planks 3 & 4? If so where do I taper them? regards J

    Dave: I checked the location of the kit provided cast metal chocks & the aft pair appear to be surface mounted on the aft most monkey rail. The forward pair are surface mounted on the forward buffalo rail. This still leaves unanswered what are the "mooring chocks" in the aft bulwarks for. I have the book "Bluenose II Saga of the Great Fishing Schooner" by L. B. Jenson. On page 101 it shows the aft mooring line being tied off on the quarter bitt that is midway between the "mooring chock" in the upper bulwark & steering box on plan sheet #3. Maybe this is the explanation for the "mooring chocks" on the plans. regards J Lombard

    Heinz: Your deck planking looks great. Can you answer a few question about it? 1. how do you "space" your planking? 2. Is the wood for your planking from the kit or did you purchase different wood strips? 3. What is the "black wood filler" you used to coat your deck? regards J Lombard

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.
