    What red did you use? The paintings seem to show more of a brighter orangie red? Do you plan on straight main wales or in anchor stock style? Any type of templates for keeping the port surrounds at the correct width?

    Starboard side framing completed, now onto the port side. Obviously it looks awful at this stage as it needs “a **** ton” of sanding and fairing but we will get to that soon enough.

    Work on the forward apron and cant frames has begun, nothing glued in place yet, just checking the fit.
  27. Trussben
    Liking the progress, what material will you be planking with? AYC like the other prototype?
  28. Trussben
    Nice, enjoy the framing!
  29. Trussben
    Work on the aft cant frames is well underway.
  30. Trussben
    Sweet!
  31. Trussben
    Deadwood has been shaped and more framing completed.
  32. Trussben
    Several more frame pairs added, moving at a good pace now I’m in the groove.
  33. Trussben
    Im really looking forward to seeing her all faired out.
  34. Trussben
    Aft deadwood piece was cleaned of char and adjusted so it was a nice tight fit in its position, it’s not been glued in as its shape needs to be sanded closer to what it will finally look like.
  35. Trussben
    Here are the first few Starboard side frames installed, we will begin to get a proper feel for what the model is going to look like now. The designer has left lots of “meat on the bones” for later fairing of the hull when framing is complete.

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.
