    Mark, your health is far more important than building a ship! Get yourself well before you even set foot back in the shipyard

    The pink tube you can see in the vice is from an old vacuum cleaner. I cut it down, applied a dozen or so layers of gaffa tape on the end to seal it, put red hot water in it for plank softening

    I can't believe it's been so ling since I posted, or indeed worked on the model Anyway, I've reached a milestone of sorts - the first layer of planking is now complete The hull is riddled with errors & mistakes, some avoidable, some entirely of my own making and some due to a total lack of experience This is my first ever attempt at planking See what you think

    Can someone tell me what the difference is between these 2 blades? I need some more of the larger ones, but the ones which arrived are the smaller ones Thanks
  25. Jonesey
    I believe you make these from one of the rounded dowels, cut in half and the centre portion cut out (it alludes to this in the diagram)

    Hi Eugenio Progress has been very slow this last year - work & life always get in the way However, I've moved the shipyard from the garage to our old kitchen area which doesn't get any use and intend to carry on in the warm throughout the winter. My first layer of planking is progressing - I'm hopeful this is the most complex part of the build, but time will tell!

    Yep. Corel instructions leave a LOT to be desired. It's sometime quite unfathomable exactly what you're supposed to do and crucially, in which order
  32. Jonesey
    Personally I think you'd be better off planking the deck yourself Colour one long edge and one short edge of each plank with a black felt tip (one that doesn't run!) to simulate the calking before applying glue

    Looking good David! Patience is definitely the key
  34. Jonesey
    Yes, regarding that Elmers link on Amazon UK, it says "product currently unavailable" which is a shame
  35. Jonesey
    Your build looks absolutely fine so far, well done I'm delaying the option to fit copper tiles until I see how the first layer of planking turns out. I'm more or less at the same point as you on my Corel build but the really challenging parts are up next - lower hull/stern/bow I'd post some pictures but I'm currently soaking up the sun in Gran Canaria 😎

    Had a bit of an accident tonight. I snapped off the top of one of the bulkheads 😕 After sanding the edges down there was a gap of about 2 mm which meant the piece I intended to glue back on was 2mm lower than it should be, so I had to make a small filler to raise it back up If it all sticks ok, it shouldn't be a problem as the top deck isn't glued down yet and the offending piece will be hidden on the outside by the hull planking and on the inside, it's covered by the top deck Set me back by another evening though.

    Thanks for the pictures mate, just what I was after

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.
