    You're making this look easy Rusty.

    Hi Chris. Welcome to MSW

    I've finally completed the front frame section and glued the frames to the keel. I ended up clamping the front section down to keep it from moving around when I lowered the keel over the frames. After that, I clamped the rear section as well. I just wanted to be sure I didn't bump something and knock everything out of alignment before the glue dried. Once the glue sets I'll tape the build board sections together and then add on the transom. I still need to glue the little piece at the top of the front and rear frames before I start to fair the hull.

    Looks great Rusty. What type of paint did you use for the red?

    I'm back at the workbench after a short holiday break. I glued the aft 10 frames to the keel after some prep work and a few dry runs. I went ahead and applied the glue and after several terrifying moments of manipulating and adjusting the frames everything settled into place. I used the front most frame to help me align the keel squarely to the frames. Now I move onto the front frames.

    Hi all. Just a quick update and a question. I've built all the frames and dry fit everything together. I put the packing tape on the frames for support also. You may notice that I haven't attached the transom yet. I'm going to glue it on while everything is dry fit together on the build board. I thought it would be easier to get it properly aligned and perpendicular to the hull. My question is on the small strip of wood at the top of the frames. Is this added to all frames?

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.
