    Welcome to the group! You will certainly build some muscles up when you start fairing the Baltic Birch Ply! That stuff is tough!
  2. Trussben
    Thanks Rusty!

    Rudder has almost been completed and the bow-tie and horse shoe plates installed and the “fake” bolts attached. I need to make and install a couple of eyebolts to the spectacle strap to finish it off.

    Simply Fantastic work Chuck.
  5. Trussben
    Wow Chuck, that looks amazing and just shows what a talented designer you are.
  6. Trussben
    That’s about it for me.

    Work on the rudder is underway in Swiss Pear and Gabon Ebony to match my other frame accents.
  8. Trussben
    That’s some very fine deck framing there!

    Thanks for the likes and kind comments. I decided to go ahead and make the rudder trunk and seats as well as the two ladderways. These are some really beautiful laser cut and etched parts that go together and look fantastic when finished.

    Completed chapter #4 with the deck planking done. I do have to touch up some paintwork that was damaged during the decking. Chapter #5 starts with the rudder and so I have to machine some pear wood and cut those pieces out to match the plans as I will not be using the laser cut parts.

    Beautiful Chuck.
  12. Trussben
    Yepper - very nice work indeed!
  13. Trussben
    Sweet.

    Next belts on each side of 5 planks completed, onto the final belts of 5.
  15. Trussben
    Yes - Boxwood decking.
  16. Trussben
    Thanks for all the comments and likes. Central belt of deck planking ( the difficult part ) has been completed, and now onto the outer belts.
  17. Trussben
    Looking great Chuck.

    Best supplier of high quality Holly in USA but not cheap. https://www.domexhardwoods.com
  19. Trussben
    Yep, got to agree - Very nice planking so far.
  20. Trussben
    Thats about right, maybe even a touch further back. See that C2.2 picture on bottom of last post, you can just make out the garboard where it ends at the boxing joint.
  21. Trussben
    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.
  22. Trussben
    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.
  23. Trussben
    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.
  24. Trussben
    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.
  25. Trussben
    Superb

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.
