    I can't say that I've never started over with a new kit before.

    John. I noticed you have two logs going for what appears to be the same build. Let me know if the two logs are one and the same so they can be merged in to one. Thanks,

    Just curious, how are you scanning the frame drawings?

    Thanks for checking in Bob. I've had this on hold for a bit. I've never rigged a ship model so I didn't want this one to be my first due to its complexity. I need to do a couple less complicated ones first I think.

    I also broke them. About 3 times. Left them off after the last time.

    Well, I decided yo go ahead and get a jump on the Sphinx since I'm waiting for the instructions and plans for the Granado. A picture is worth a thousand words so not much to say here that's not already been said so here you go: I have an extra set of hands to help out, thanks little dude A courtesy dry fit shot I wasn't sure how critical this was but wanted everything as squared as possible. Pre-sanding all done. I was a little nervous about doing this off model but I just went for it. On to the bow. Used the angle plate for this too to keep it all square. All sanded. I left a little at the top until after attaching to the hull. I was a little worried about squaring this area off too much. And here they are attached. All the bulkheads are glued on at this point. I glued the bulkheads on the old fashioned way...one at a time squaring each one along the way. The lower deck was glued on using the watered down glue method. I watered the glue down about 90/10. You may be able to see the pencil mark on the lower rear part of the stern section in the last picture. A little more will need to come off there when I do the final fairing. This is the sander I used for the off hull work on the bow and stern. It seemed to work the best for me. This is an ADC mini sander with 150 grit.

    I think someone else had a similar issue which Chris looked into. Check the other build logs.

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.
