Hi, Craig. While the planking may be easier with the hull upside down, once the external planking is in place it will get really challenging to maneuver around inside. It really hinges on what level of interior detail you want to add - are you going to do the wet well and bunks? Those will probably be easier to do when you can also manipulate the pieces from outside. Also, it will be a lot easier to install the ceiling (interior planking) prior to installing the exterior planking. Will be interested to see how you handle it!

Dave - Let me add my thanks as well. These are fantastic narratives and have saved them for future reference. WELL DONE! -
Looking good, sir. I think the do-overs you are taking on are definitely adding to the overall appearance!

That is a good price. I think mine was $75. Thus far it has been a good intro to POB. A couple of things to be wary of - the plans and instructions list different scales, and there are a couple of tables I couldn't find in the instructions. The instructions are pretty good, with plenty of drawings. I made a couple of mistakes early which is making the first planking more difficult than it should be.

You're good, Danny! i gave up after 3 different searches didn't come up with anything resembling this one!

Anja - let me join with the others - based on the work you have done on d'Halve Maen, I think you are, indeed, up to the task of scratch building. I will enjoy watching your artistry - I brought my own seat, though, as I know it is getting crowded!

What they said, Mobbsie! She is looking very nice - now for those 17 bazillion copper plates.... As Mark would say, I'll get my hat and leave now....

You, Sir, have some amazingly talented spiders! Looking very good! Now about that fishing - remember, it will be difficult to convince anyone that frozen cod filets or frozen Tilapia was fresh caught today! Enjoy - and look forward to the next update!

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.
