    Some spacers were needed to centralize the last piece of the bulkhead former in position and then it was glued up.

    The build has officially begun, the MDF former made of 3 pieces glued together on a nice flat surface and left overnight to dry fully.

    The box you see is laser etched with a drawing of the ship along with the serial number of the kit, my kit is B0001 as it’s a prototype. This box contains Chapter 1 of the model which comprises all of the main hull structure and jigs, the box weighed in at a hefty 29lbs, you can see more pics of some of the contents, also this kit will have framing of Swiss pear and I will be planking in Boxwood ( planking material not included with the kit just like the Winnie ). Everything is very well packed and protected and the quality of the materials and laser cutting is superb.

    Looks fantastic JJ.

    Nice work, making sure that all that stern framing is correctly placed is so important for the QGallerys to look right when they are added.
  28. Trussben
    Glad to see you back at it Chris.

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.
