    Planking on the port side from the frieze panels down including the channel wales completed.
  25. Trussben
    Looks Awesome JJ, Look forward to seeing how she is with all the planking totally finished.
  26. Trussben
    Very Very nice clean work.
  27. Trussben
    Thanks JJ I had toyed with the idea of doing the channel wales in Ebony but finally decided to keep things closer to the paintings.
  28. Trussben
    Oh! Gotcha! That is the space where the main and mizzen channels will be inserted.
  29. Trussben
    Not quite sure what your asking? The widths of the planking do narrow up a bit as they get further forward and aft on the hull, widest around midships.
  30. Trussben
    You think that you may build Portland after you finish Speedwell Rusty? I'm sure JJ would be delighted!
  31. Trussben
    Planking on the Stbd side from the frieze panels down to and including the channel wales has been completed except for the foremost upper piece of the channel wale which the instructions say to leave out at the moment. All of the gunports will need going back to, to be refined and repainted, the upper deck aft two and QD aft port will need the edges fixing for the port lids. I will now move to the port side and do the same.
  32. Trussben
    I can wait to see the bulldog!

    Hey Dusan Make sure that the final frames are located as far aft as they will go in the upper locator slots to make sure that the wing transoms reach them. Ben

    Planking strips of different sizes all cut. At full size and (1:48) they are as follows going downwards along the hull:- 3" ( 0.0625") thick basswood frieze panels as supplied with the kit. 3" ( 0.0625") thick boxwood from Channel wales up to the frieze panels ( 2 strakes ). 5" ( 0.1042") thick boxwood Channel wales ( 3 strakes ) 4" ( 0.0833") thick boxwood thickstuff above wales ( 4 strakes ) 5.5" ( 0.1145") thick ebony black strake ( 1 strake ) 6" ( 0.125") thick ebony Main wales ( 4 strakes ) 4" ( 0.0833") thick Holly thickstuff below wales ( 1-2 strakes as required ) The sizes above came from the "scantlings" book for a 50gun 4th rate ( steel's table ).

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.
