    Thank you guys for the kind words. Good to know that I am not doing it the wrong way.

    Lintels on. It is said in the instruction that "each lintel should be perfectly level and flat". So I used an engineer's square to do so. Not sure if I interpreted it right. (at first I thought the lintels should be perpendicular to the stern frames) Will be some hard work to fair the area before adding the sills.

    Thank you Joe and Steve ! Moving on, the stern frames.

    Then fixing the bulkheads and fillers.

    It looked there was a little mismatch with the curves of the bulkhead former and the stem assembly, this made the keel line not perfectly horizontal. I cut a section of the false keel and made it good.
  9. elainedouglas
    Adding the keel, and attaching the stem assembly.

    Tapering the stem assembly.

    Stem assembly. Strange that there is a notch in the laser cut parts. I filled it later.
  12. elainedouglas
    Making the taper.
  13. elainedouglas
    Copying the bearding line.

    Then, rabbet strip.
  15. elainedouglas

    Hi guys ! This is Douglas from Hong Kong ! After building plastic models for years, I packed enough courage to start a brand new thing in my modelling life. This is really a new thing to me. I learnt a lot so far, and thank you Kerry at Vancouver for recommending the kit and teaching me. I will post progress photos here. I guess it would take me years to finish this model. Please do give me comments, so I could learn and improve.

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.
