    After 3 years and 3 months, I decided to pull the ship off the shelf and see if I can start to make some progress again.I have stressed over the second planking and fitting around the gun and sweep ports so much. I just decided to go for it. I started with the shear planks. There was a little non symmetry going on at the stern, but I was able to fix it. I just kept going from there. Got the top three planks done on the starboard side. I was hoping to get 4 full planks before starting to taper, but three seems to be the limit. Happy with how it turned out.

    Totally understand that! Mine is still boxed up. Going to be for awhile too. I broke my ankle playing with my kids and I can’t get to my workbench safely until I can walk without crutches. Maybe when the snow starts flying. Just living through every ones build logs in the mean time!

    I can’t believe it has been a year already! Beautiful work makes time fly I guess.

    I boxed her up for the summer. Remodeling a bathroom and lots of family time and traveling while the kids are on summer break. Hoping to pick things back up this fall. Going to live through others builds for now. 😉

    I really look forward to your updates. I am going to be sad when this is done.

    Welcome to the forum and good luck on your build! It can be frustrating at times, but the reward is worth your effort.

    Right?! I just couldn’t! Such craftsmanship! No simple click of an emoji for that.

    Coming together very nicely! I have had a little bit of time to work on my second planking, but nothing worth sharing. Keep on keeping on!
  20. KirbysLunchBox
    Lovely!
  21. KirbysLunchBox
    Very nice! I had attempted that as well, but I kept splitting the wood trying to make square holes.
  22. KirbysLunchBox
    I had to modify the mounts as well.
  23. KirbysLunchBox
    Gorgeous!!

    Just speechless…

    Wasn’t there a PE set in the kit for that? Mine has brass wire and PE brass for the rudder hinges.

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.
