    Very Very Nice Michael, turned out beautifully. You have the same cases that I used then? Look forward to see what you come up with next. ben

    I'm in no rush to finish either build and I have limited modelling time, but I find taking a break from one build for a while and working on the other keeps me interested in both, a scratch fully framed model is a long term project especially if you want good results - there are no shortcuts. Keep up the good work. ben

    That cross chock sure is a fun piece to make I remember. Looks to me that you have made a fine start. ben

    The ribbands would be temp while the hull was constructed, normally 4x4" full size timbers and they would run along the line of the floor/futtock joints ( where each of the frames was chock jointed to the next piece ).

    The stern frames are called "transoms" Is it the pictures or does the cherry really have that much color variation??

    Work on the aft upper deck has begun. ben
  28. Trussben
    Thanks Everyone for the likes and comments, it’s always appreciated. ben

    Patrick, When you added the treenails to the Ebony wales, did you use the same "putty/paste" as you used on the other planking? It looks like quite a light color against the ebony? ben

    Forward upper deck framing almost complete, need to add the riding bitts and the final ledge piece. ben
  31. Trussben
    Very nice, 16 days to get to where you are is soo fast, took me a couple of years to do that on my scratch swan class sloop! These new kit designs from the likes of CAF, Syren and Vanguard are going to transform this hobby.
  32. Trussben
    Looking good Bob
  33. Trussben
    Wow - really nice job.
  34. Trussben
    This is what the aft section looks like with its overlay in place if you can see it on the picture.
  35. Trussben
    Michael - Mainly just a couple of different size diamond files - nothing too special or secret - just a lot of time, If i screw up (which happens a lot) I have to remake a beam set which sucks but thats the way it is.
  36. Trussben
    Upper deck framing well underway, always a constant battle against cumulative error but that’s why I am constantly checking against my framing plan to minimize its affects, you can maybe just see the overlay that I print out on transparency film to help me do this. ben

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.
