I have a question about what I'm doing next. Chucks practicum instructs me to finish the stern rail and cap rail before doing the deck. I think I'd like to do the deck first, so I do not mar the rails which are going to be pretty soft (really not in love with basswood). Can any of you give me a solid reason not to do the deck next?

More progress: I found the carving tricky and had to make a few to get it right. Having done so, and being very worries about the pressure of my clamps crushing it, I chose not to give it the camber of the deck. I think it looks okay, but now I'm second guessing that choice, I may rip it off and start over. It's very red.

Question for you all: what advice can you offer re: thinning down the interior bulwarks? I've spent quite a while at it tonight and have very little progress to show. Since the bulwarks rake in somewhat I cannot slide a sanding block along the lower edge, the deck surface gets in the way. I'm leery of trying to mow it all down with a Dremel lest I pick mark up the whole thing with irregularities. I've looked at a few of your build logs but it seems to be a topic that passes unremarked. How did all of you do yours? What did you sand with? Thanks James

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.
