    To make things easier make up a building board. This will help you tremendously down the road. The PDF should explain some of this. David B BUILDING BOARDS.pdf

    I would like to take it out on the lake after you rig it if I could fit in it. Nicely done your finish is spot on. David B

    You are getting there. The hull is starting to take shape a little at a time. Davi B

    My advice would be to forget the templates and make your own from the plans. This entails some work and can give you a headache but is worth it down the road. David B

    Call ME and ask them for another copy I have not seen your plans but if you see a double line along the keel the plans should be drawn to the rabbet. Glue the frames to a piece of styrene or aluminum siding and make sure they are square. Good luck. David B

    At work several years ago they were cleaning up one of the walls and bought some muriatic acid to help. We leased the building so we had to clean it. And one of the workers emptied it into a pail and then started filling with water. The result was not pleasant. He was lucky he was wearing a longsleeved shirt and goggles. That saved his eyesight and the shirt saved him from getting splattered. Needless to say it scared all of us especially him. We no longer carry or use the stuff out of safety concerns. But acid into water is the smart way and safe way. David B

    Have you ever been to an IPMS show. You are doing wonders. David B

    Your coming right along. David B

    You are going further than I would have. My carving skills leave much to be desired. To me it is an arcane art worthy of awe. David B

    A member of one of the clubs I belong to gave a demonstration on resin casting a couple of years ago. He said the first attempts will leave something to be desired but as one gets into it they learn how to make it so everything goes right. And you are going in the right direction well done. David B

    Using a level is overkill I think because of what was discussed above. And I have never glued in a mast. Using shrouds to hold it in. This is in case of an accident. David B

    Happy to have you back along with your build. I hope you are feeling well. 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.
