    Thanks so much Joe, Matt,Dirk and the "likes". Matt, the caulking is pencil on one side and one end of each plank. Easy. Bob

    I've now completed the upper planking of the second (starboard) side. It has been sanded and a coat of Wipe-on Poly applied. As could be expected, it went on easier and better than the first side. I still had to make small adjustments to get the plank widths right, particularly in the area of the hances. Following Chuck's sequence, the next work will be the drop plank and the first two strakes below the wales. Bob

    Thanks so much Rusty and the "likes". Rusty, I'm sure that your planking will turn out great, as always. Bob

    The castings look great (as does your build!). I missed out on the first run of castings and will have to wait until they are back in stock. Bob

    The horde (seven children and grandchildren and two dogs) have left my house. Time for a post. I have completed the port side upper planking. Remarkably, at least to me, after making a few small adjustments to the framing, the planking worked out as it was supposed to, using the planking widths called for in the plans. I must admit that I chickened out on the tabs at the gunports. All in all, although I'm not entirely satisfied with the result, I am not really dissatisfied with the overall appearance of the planking. I will try to do a bit better on the starboard side. The photos show the planking after sanding and the application of a coat of Wipe-on Poly.

    Thanks so much Joe, Rusty and the "likes". Sorry for the delay in responding. Both work on the model and keeping up with the posts have been slowed by a houseful of family company for the holidays. Bob

    Fantastic work Chuck. BTW, one more vote for the painted roof. Bob

    It's been a while since I lasted posted on Winnie. A good bit of progress has occurred. To begin with, I completed framing at the stern with the addition of the horizontal filler pieces and final fairing. I then added the lower counter planking, using the laser cut pieces. After that, I did the first layer of planking for the wales and black strake. The wale planking was begun by using a batten to mark the line of the bottom of that planking. Lastly, I painted the gunports red, in preparation for doing the upper planking.. The upper planking will be the next order of business.. Bob

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.
