Thanks for the details, I'm using acryl called pastel white, nicely off white. I still have the tape on I hope it'll come of cleanly...

Good to see you back Jan, One Thing I still wanted to ask you, I think I can see it here on tha last picture, The white on the underwater ship did you completely polish out all wood structure, or did you leave some traces of it visible. I'm working on this on mine at the moment and I can't really make up my mind... Happy building. Michiel

For planking the second layer in a doubly planked hull I recently "discovered" (I probably invented the wheel again ) a very effective way to bend finer strips laterally. For an other forum I already made a movie of the process. You just make the strip wet and use the iron... Afterward the strip is perfectly dry ready to be glued on. In the movie the strip is actually not so good, it splinters a bit, see 15th s, but that's just this strip, noting to do with the method. All planks you see here have been bend in this way. Best, Michiel

Aaron, I'm building the Prins Willem, she actually has a much less round bow below the lowest wale. There the technique shown in the diagram called "Hollandisch" works perfectly fine. You don't need to go to less than half the plank width to work it out completely without stealers. (Hope that answers you question ) Best, Michiel

Most of them are 3mm normal shape LEDs mounted between the inner and outer planking Between every other gun-port I place one They are coverer up with lanterns. Finally looking like this One other type And a candle on the table on the cabin The last two were made using the smalles one I could get 1x0.5 mm with 0.1mm wiring already attached. Best, Michiel

This topic existed already in 1.0, And I think it's worth to revive it. For those models that also have interior parts being fully modeled installing some LED's may provide a useful way of keeping some of that work visible. The advantage is that they are small. One can currently get them below 1 mm with wiring (< 0.1 mm) already attached. Secondly they do not produce heat and come in many colors. Finally because of their small power consumption long-lasting powering by batteries is possible. The basic thing you need to know is that LED also need a resistance in series and that pair's, LED + resistance, need to be put in parallel. Many sites that sell them have online calculation tools to determine the value of you resistanc. I got mine from this site http://www.leds.de but there are many... In the next post I'll show some pictures of my application, maybe others can also add some of theirs.. Have fun

I don't see any staelers in that build (its not mine), So you may not necessarily need them I just finished my second layer without: (but that's the Dutch way of planking; the wales do actually meet 180 degrees this picture is just not taken straight on) I did put some at the stern though.. Here's one of those other pictures you could find on this site before the crash:

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.
