That's a great find Mantel, wish I could read that link you posted! Love the picture, I didn't think the two toilets on the deck were original to the ship as your photo also confirms. I'm going to try to copy one of the life boats also (TRY)

Thanks for those pictures Tad, I'm still sanding, getting ready to mount rudder and associated parts. I have decided to build the boat before she sailed on the north west passage, and not put in prop and any other engine related gear.

Planking is far tougher than you guys make it look. Gonna be a lot of sanding. Found a u tube video, that really helped me see what I didn't do . Sand each plank flush with bulk heads. I have no doubt this will be a good model, getting some strange looks from wife though!

Deck planked time for the sand paper, wasn't as bad as I feared. Thinking about the paint, how do you get an antique look for the deck? I would like to have it look like it just came out of the NorthWest passage!

Day two deck on, something not exactly right! After reading the instructions until the fog had cleared and a light haze remained I began my build. With false keel built as per instructions, I applied the top deck which does not set flush on outside edges. Could have sanded deck support until it was flush but would not have been much left. Is this going to be a problem later in the build or use filler and move on?

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.
