    Your garboard is too far forward as you thought before, it needs to be more like 3/4" further aft, having it too far forward forces the other planking too far up the bow which causes plenty of headaches.

    So now ready to start lining off for the deck planking, as you can see I decided to go the whole hog and paint the bulwarks and add the fancy cabin paneling and floor.

    Hey Greg It had better be as it evolved from the Deck framing plans that I created and you saw before while the deck was being built, with just a few tweaks needed.

    I’m going to make several templates to show planking with no guns, guns on one side, guns on both sides and a hybrid of all to try and figure out what I want to artistically show on my model. ACad makes this easier for me now that I have the general layout for my hull and deck shape/dimensions inputted to make several of these pretty easily.

    Superb

    Started to plan out how I intend to plank the main deck, this is one of the layouts I’m considering if I decide to add cannons.

    Very nice progress

    Really nice stove Rusty.

    That setup looks somewhat familiar to me for some reason 😎🤓🤣 Nice going JJ.

    Very nice work.

    I narrowed the width of mine a bit to better match the widths of the other 5 planks in that belt, it helped with the flow of the planking up the bow.

    Thanks Ron.

    Thanks all, JJ - it’s a fine line with how much planking to add as I still have not decided if I’m going to rig the ship and how many cannons I want if any to display. Will need to make my mind up pretty soon after I finish the Bulwark though.

    Nice Bob.

    How about 1:48?

    Beautiful Chuck.

    Thanks for the likes and nice comments. Upper deck framing is now completed. Next steps will be the waterways, port stops, bulwark planking up to the next deck clamps and then the stern framing. I also have to start thinking/designing how much of the upper deck will be planked and how much I will leave open so the framing and lower deck can be seen. ben

    One last section awaiting its ledges and the upper deck framing is completed.

    Work on the bulwark planking underway - then I have to decide if I’m going to paint it and add the fancy laser cut panels for the main cabins or not. I’m not a great painter but I’m leaning towards it for this model and trying to improve that skill set too. ben

    Typical spacing is 1/3 the width or height of the timber, so on a 9" timber you would place the treenails 3" from either edge, same deal with the chock - if its a 12" chock then they should be 4" from the ends. See TFFM Vol1 page 88 as it describes this perfectly.

    Really nice Rusty!
  22. Trussben
    Work on completing the upper deck framing is coming along nicely.
  23. Trussben
    Looking great, just DONT forget that you need to sand the outside of the outermost frames thinner, back to the dotted line on the plan/template after you add the QG support framing.
  24. Trussben
    Superb!
  25. Trussben
    Comings, hatchways, mast partners and capstan step almost completed.

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.
