    Thanks all. David B, well the thing is I'm building Admiralty style so as I'm not adding any more planking it looks like the straps are underneath the planking. But if you look closer you can see small shims I used to compensate for the lack of planking on the lower two gudgeons. Remco

    Very nice planking Ed! Remco

    Jan, the bottom of the rudder should be higher than the top of the false keel. Otherwise the false keel (if it comes of when hitting ground) would rip off the rudder in the process. The issue occurred when I marked the hight of the pintles using the pre cut slots on the sternpost. I should have noticed it then Remco

    Thanks all for helping me to sort this out. Jan, 0,5 mm copper rod scored with a sharp blade made the screw head. Sorry Grant, no way I can make working screws on this scale So that said, the gudgeons are made, again from brass strip and bar silver soldered together and formed to follow the hull curvature. I'll probably use some castello shims to compensate for the missing hull planking. Some adjustments are still needed before I can bolt the gudgeons permanently to the hull. Somehow gudgeon #5 ended up under the transom planking Remco

    Michael, Thank you very much for your elaborate answer, this is very helpful. I now understand I need to add a few very important steps in my drilling procedure. One being to start using a good center drill to mark the drill points. Remco

    Michael, your metal work is exquisite and a joy to watch. Do you use some sort of sensitive drilling attachment when you use the PCB drills? Mine always break whenever I use them in the mill or drill press and whenever possible I revert to drill small holes by hand (a tedious task.....) Remco

    Piet, the jol is beautiful. Remco

    Looks really wonderful Gil, I love the different shades of colour and with the details added it really comes to live. Remco

    Congrats Mark, she's coming together great! Remco

    The cross section of your hull planking shows how incredibly good your planking skills are. The joints are perfectly tight though out the thickness of the planks, not an easy task. I forgive you for hiding this nice detail with a perfect stern section Remco

    A long overdue update, be it small is more than one way The tiller hole was repositioned and the hoops were added The pintles are browned, bolted & screwed to the rudder, (okay I simulated the screws.....) Next up the Gudgeons, any ideas how long they need to be? TFFM only shows one, are #2 to #5 all the same length? Remco

    Looking great Ben. I remember how tedious the framing was on my KF and I allowed myself the occasional break to make a sub assembly of some kind for use further down the road. Hang in there you are nearly there. Remco

    She looks wonderful Tony, I really like the contrast of the fully planked hull side next to the bare one. Remco

    This is metalworking of a whole different league..... Splendid work Michael. Remco

    2.0 Is even better than 1.0, good job Piet! Remco
  16. Remcohe
    Oh yes, the hooks look much better. Which etching service did you use? Remco
  17. Remcohe
    Interesting detail, and very nicely executed. Remco

    Karl, that is really stunning. Remco

    Looking very sweet Piet Remco

    Good to see your updates again Sir, looking great. Remco
  22. Remcohe
    I'd say it looks great! Remco

    Ed I admire how proficient you are with installing the knees. It takes me the better part of an evening to do maybe two, it looks like you did the whole deck in a fraction of that time. Admirable work as always. Remco

    Nice stash of wood, I bet you will really like working with Castello. Remco

    Thank you all for the kind words. For those interested in the soldering board, I purchased it here they also have the pins I use and some hold down clamps I didn't get but made them myself. Beware that the board quickly heats at the bottom so you should place extra heat protection underneath it (yes I found out the hard way and now I have a big burn mark on my bench ) Remco

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.
