    Thanks guys. At least you helped me visualize where I am going. Being a visual learner, pictures are just what I needed. I also checked out the Kaiser Wilhelm log (Nils is way out of my class!) and vertical planking is the answer. I used to live in the Hampton Roads VA. area and the Hampton Roads Ship Model Society was a valuable resource. I now live in Charleston SC and unfortunately can’t find any local modeling groups (RC only). So I guess I will be hanging out here. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. Planking is a weak area for me (one of many according to my wife) so I need all the help I can get. Greg

    I am working on a Mamoli kit, the C.S.S. Alabama. The few planking diagrams provided are not very detailed. Specifically, I can’t figure out how the stern should be planked. I have never run into a stern like this (all my ships have been sail only). I have read “Ship Modeling Simplified” (Mastini) and “Planking the Built-up Ship Model” (Model Shipways) plus looked at the tutorials here but I am still at a loss. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks. Greg

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.
