    Thanks Bob! A couple wavy planks in there I'm hoping a little sanding will eliminate. I'm not calculating any of the tapering so we'll see what happens as I near the keel.

    Using only wood glue and working full time so planking is coming along slowly, pretty much one plank a day. Also trying to choose the green paint that will be used on the hull later..

    Started planking. Doing the hull before the deck, not sure if there's any reason not to... I don't have the proper tools so I'm making do with what I have and using the pins that came with the kit to hold the planks to the bulkheads.

    Not my first wooden boat build, but first in many many years.... Managed to secure the deck down with no clamping other than the pins provided.

    Hi Stavrogin, I just bought this kit, going to start soon. This build thread is going to help a lot! I hope you keep posting. I am also planning on painting mine in the true colours so I'll be interested to find out what ones you used. BTW oddly enough I live just down the road in London ON. James

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.
