    Marc: Thank you for the information on the bulkheads. That should do the trick. Just out of curiosity, you recommend planking the decks before the hull. Why is that easier than waiting until after the hull is planked? Jim

    Keelhauled: I have started the Cutty Sark, which I assume may be the older kit by Sergal (it was purchased back in the mid-1980s). Unfortunately it comes with many sheets of diagrams (all in Italian), and one small instruction book. I have glued the bulkhead frames and decks in place and am ready to start planking. In looking ahead, after the planking is completed the instructions say to remove the bulwark stays as shown. The picture shows the chiseling-off of the tops of the bulkhead frames that extend above the level of the deck. The instructions caution not to damage the planking that presumably is attached to these stays either by glue or nails or both. I have great difficulty envisioning how this can be accomplished 1. without damaging the planking, and 2. keeping the curved shape of the planking if there is nothing to hold it in place. I would be interested to know how you handled this. Thanks, Jim

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.
