Hi all, thank you for the comments and likes, I really appreciate it. I just wanted to post a quick update. There’s not a lot to tell to this point. My approach to the sweep ports was to mill a sort of plug to position the port with the idea that I could snug the planks right up to them. It wasn’t a perfect approach and in many cases I removed the port after tracing the outline and cut the planks against the pencil outline. However, it is very fiddly work and far from perfect. I built a little jig to outline the gun ports as shown. I have decided that I am going to plank the starboard side with Holly whilst I wait for chapter 3. I will install the second layer of wales before I start the hull because it will be easier to place the lower wale that way. I also plan to treenail both above and below the wales but am in the waiting mode for the fishing line and necessary bits.

Thanks Rick, you must be referring to the standard (at least that’s what I think it’s called). After breaking it off for the 3rd time I decided to wait until much further into the build when I don’t need to turn it over anymore. I kind of knew that I would break it and made a few extra standards. I look forward to your next instalment Rick. Cheers, Ian

Hi Rusty, your work is great as usual. I feel compelled to share my regret in not getting a clean enough fit for all the can’t frames where they join the keel. Another thing that I perhaps should have done is to have removed the char so that it doesn’t show up in that area. I just didn’t pay enough attention as I motored along and now feel that I have no choice but to plank the hull. Although I suppose I could do a partial plank job to cover those areas. Just so you know what I am talking about here is a photo. I am sure I do not even need to mention this to you given your beautiful work.

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.
