    Not to be argumentative, but a POF model has no more internal support than these pictures show; yet, when done carefully with light pressure on the sanding sticks, fairing can (and is) done successfully -- as is internal fairing!

    And WHY is it unavoidable? Why can't you fair the frames before assembling the interior fittings??

    Choices like that are what makes this YOUR model. On soldering, less is more! Heat the joint, touch with rosin-core solder until the wires change color to silver and maintain heat until it stops smoking. Be careful not to move the joint until it's cool and all will be well.

    Beautiful work on all of those fiddly bits at the head. Your attention to detail is inspiring.

    Try searching "clear plastic sheet" on Amazon; lots of choices there!

    Thanks for sharing your journey on this build! Nice to follow along vicariously, as I'm unlikely to find room for a project of this size.

    This is an awi-inspiring product. Kudos to AL for the investment they have made and their commitment to our hobby by putting it into production! Too many companies with drool-inducing kits on their websites that are constantly out of stock.

    Love seeing a POF model come together. Encourages me to take the plunge on my own! Excellent craftsmanship!

    The Titebond family are classic -- should not turn brown like that. BUT: used on 4 models -- how old is it? I'd try a fresh container. Good luck!

    Any chance (with possible time frame) for others of us to get started on this beautiful project? I'd love the opportunity to start working on chapter one while the rest of the prototype is getting finished! Thanks.

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.
