    I don't. If you look at my picture of the box contents you'll see a strip with a split on the end, third from bottom, it's 1/32 thick. There are 3 of those. The other 3 are 1/16 thick.

    Thanks. I have 6 strips, 3 are 1/16, which I believe are for the rabbet, and the other 3 are very thin, like 1/32. Am I missing something?

    I feel dumb. Can someone point me to the parts for the false keel? Cant seem to find them.

    All keel sections are complete. Moving on to the rabbet. I think I'm not going to try an remove all the laser burn. I just gave it a light sanding to smooth things out nicely. I think most of this will not be visible in the end. Hard to get all of it on a picture as its quite long.

    Thanks guys. Appreciate the comments.

    A little more progress. Finished the stem. Not perfect but I do like the way its going so far. Also tapered the stem and joined the front part of the keel.
  27. JeffT
    That's where I had mine done. Had them in my hands about a day and a half after ordering.

    Weekend progress. Have most of the stem assembled. I used the ultimation sander to clean up the ends. I removed the 120 grit sand disc that came with it and replaced it with 220. The 120 is a little too much for this. I glued the two halves of the lower keel together and the first section of the keel which forms the boxing joint. The inner parts are just dry fit for now.
  29. JeffT
    Everything looks like a good fit.
  30. JeffT
    That probably would have been the right thing to do Rick.
  31. JeffT
    Starting with the stem. I just did a quick dry fit and everything fits together almost perfectly. I haven't touched anything yet and just very minor adjustments needed. Doesn't get any better than this. I won't remove any laser char from the surfaces until they are glued together. Don't want to risk rounding over any edges.

    Happy to see your log. Following along

    Just a few pictures of whats in the box. Had a few items shake loose in transport so needed to make sure I got everything back where I belong. I also printed a few parts of the plan as a test. Was able to get the copies of the plans done too.

    Thanks Jim. Appreciate the explanation.

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.
