    Hi Julie If i could do the hullplanking over again, I surely would have chosen the KA way of construction, For a more stable and even upbuilding of the planks, After finishing the sanding of the hull, I have decided to paint, No mahogny, after I read the orginal ship was a metalconstuction, At the moment I realize there is a lot of manual labour in front of me, The planks are going in all directions, Uneven thicness and the curvature of the hull are not as I hoped it would be. Cracks between the layers too. I must admit, on the other side, it has been a straight learningcurve. Many layers of spraypaint did not work.Probably some indoor housepaint will do the trick to fill the space between the planks. PS. Intresting how many words used in the Anglo-american language that are simular to my language, related to shipbuilding and work on the sea. B

    Hi again Julie. Without the treads of KA, and another who calls himself Sailor, I could probably not started the build. The instructions from Amati are in my opinion for more experienced modellers. Posting pics from the prossess of my shipbuilding, will make a lot of laughs in this forum. On the other side, maybe it is a good idea for learning and experience in future Projects. Styrmann

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.
