    Congrats on a superb planking job. This should make sanding the hull easier David B

    Popeye you are bringing back memories from my youth. My parents bought me the Revell kit for Christmas. I am relearning how to work with plastic. Since the gallery is filling up I will be in the gallery with a pair of binoculars. Casey, I was informed that Vallejo was designed for airbrushing so needs to be thinned down. Used straight from the bottle a basic brush but not cheap. David B

    Nice planking job. What kind of wood did they give you to use? David B

    Are you using train carpenter ants? David B

    This can be done but the spindle was designed for pressure up an down not lateral pressure. Light cuts only for increased life of the drill press,

    Jesse what the tubing does is give you a crucial outline. On a ship the tree nail woul be covered with a plug to cover it. The plug woul lay with the grain of the plank.. David B

    Nice planking job. I never tree nail because I thought they stood out to much . I have seen them done using a piece of tubing with the end sharpened this made a nice effect. David B

    Jesse, tree nails are fine if they are subdued and you have to look for them. Too many people accent them and as a result they stand out causing the maritime measles effect. David B

    This should prove an interesting build mind if I pull up a chair?

    Wonderfully executed hull Nils. Do you plan to plate it or just paint the hull and leave the surface smooth? David B

    Amazing work.. David B

    I will have to try your technique when I get a chance. David B

    Sounds like an interesting build mind if I look over your shoulder? David B

    Fantastic job. David B

    Sorry I am coming in late Mark but your stern planking is the cats meow. Making those severe bends must have been rough. David B

    Danny you are an inspiration to the rest of us I would love to see your Cutty up close. David B

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.
