    Excellent work, Patrick. The Triple is really earned! G.L.
  8. G.L.
    For the upper layer of outboard trims I use the same profile, but this time upside down. This time the trims are glued directly on the outboard planking.
  9. G.L.
    Then it is again further planking upwards, tree nailing and sanding.
  10. G.L.
    Some small nails in pre drilled holes keep the trims on their place when the glue is drying. As You can also see I glued little pieces of wood to lengthen the frames which were a bit too short.
  11. G.L.
    I saw the back side of them to the correct angle with the help of the adjustable table saw.
  12. G.L.
    To make the outboard trims, I make a scraper with a piece of a cutter knife.
  13. G.L.
    14.11 The forward bollards
  14. G.L.
    14.10 A bollard glued into its place.
  15. G.L.

  16. G.L.
    14.9 The top of the bollard is filed in shape with triangular and round files.
  17. G.L.
    14.8 One side is sanded oblique to fit against the stanchion.
  18. G.L.
    14.7 There are four bollards on the deck, two forward and two aft. I make them of small oak bars.
  19. G.L.
    Here they come, Patrick. 14.6 The bulwark is at the outside strengthened with seven vertical planks on each side.
  20. G.L.
    This is the point where I lost my log in December! From here on we will continue the building log with new posts.
  21. G.L.
    14.5 It looks already a lot more like the boat I want to build!
  22. G.L.
    14.4 The job is finished off by tree nailing the bulwark.
  23. G.L.
    14.3 The slot for the jib boom is filed out with a round file.
  24. G.L.
    14.2 Now I can shorten the excesses of the frame futtocks. They are sawn so that the extend about a millimeter above the bulwark.
  25. G.L.
    Part 14: Finishing the bulwark 14.1 Planking the bulwark.

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.
