    Both sides glued in. Now I just need to figure out what to do about the star at the top. Not perfect but I'm happy.

    Thanks for the likes and thanks Grant! I've made a little progress on the trail boards: Here is one side dry fit in place. There's still a bit of cleanup to be done before I call it good but overall I'm happy with how it looks.

    Hello and welcome to MSW 🙂

    I've decided not to use the kit part. I tried painting it and just didn't like the result. So, instead I'm cutting out the trail board design. I have one of these and I'm using #3/0 jewelers blades. I also have this image that I got somewhere (don't remember where). I printed the image onto avery full sized label paper. I cut it down to size. I debated on what material to use and settled on .040 thick Evergreen sheet. I tried initially to use a 1/16" basswood sheet but the wood was just to soft and kept breaking. After muffing it up a couple times I ended up with this. A bit of a tedious task but not too bad and just needs to be cleaned up a bit. And dry fitted to the model.

    Welcome to MSW. I think the Lady Nelson is a good kit to start with.

    Looks great to me. The 3 planks are battens maybe?

    I suppose it depends on what you are cutting. I've been using number 3 blades for most things models.

    not sure why that happened. a temporary glitch maybe?

    I tested it with him and he receives PMs as expected.

    Welcome to MSW. I second what Keith suggested. Start a build log> Its a great way to ask questions and get help. I think there are 2 other build logs for this model but not sure they have the answers you need. Take a look at the build log index for 1901-present located here:

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.
