Hey Augie, 30% golden oak for the upper works is what I used and it will make a contrast with un stained lower planking, you won't really see it until you totally complete the lower planking. Look forward to seeing your progress next year, I hope to start modeling again in January when I finish rebuilding the workshop. Ben

Hi Augie, very nice indeed sir! As Rusty pointed out your run looks very good, reminds me of some great times on mine. I look forward to seeing what you decide to paint and how your treenails turn out. Ben

Beautiful Ed, Did these ships have the fillings between the frames from keel to the head of the floor timbers as in 18C RN ships? Ben

Hi bill, good to see you starting. I have to agree about flattening out the bulkhead former before doing anything else as per alistair, I have found that soaking the ply in water and then drying out over a day or so works well, just don't soak the ply to long as the glue between the plys will make it come apart. Whatever way you decide to do it, just make sure the former is perfectly strait or you will be in for trouble. Look forward to watching your build. Ben

Sweet Gary! It is a shame to cover that great framing, but she's a man'o'war! Captains choice! 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.
