After having finished the fist row I'm starting with the second. The sequence of positioning the planks is given: A, B, etc. The reason for this is that one has to be able to glue in the boxes for the dummy guns. So after A came B, then the boxes, then the "fillers" between A and B. After that came C (see pic) and now it's time for D. Of course one could measure the distance between C and D - i.e. 10mm, the width of two planks - but I find it easier to dry-fit two planks above C and then dry-fit D into it's correct position. Then remove the two in between and glue D. Pic below. A and C are glued, then come the two spacers and D on top of those. Next: take out the spacers and glue D. Then position the dummy gun boxes.

I had certain veins already de-clogged three times so thank you for your consideration! I will gladly wait 350 years for the next declogafication. Today Nulli got her first teeth! The gunports aren't finished yet but I wanted to get a rough idea about the dimensions. I have put an ancient Dutch coin into this still life to show the scale. To all the non-Dutch: the coin on the right is a so called dubbeltje (worth 10 old cents) and when you look at the hole in the middle of a random CD you'll see the exact dimensions of this coin. The highly payed and brilliant Dutch engineers who so cleverly designed the CD have been pondering for ages on how big the hole in the middle should be until one of them (without the shadow of a doubt a Nobel-prize candidate) came up with the idea to make it the size of a dubbeltje. This is not a joke. Go check. Cheers Pieter

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.
