Update: So I finally got around to staining the hull, I tested a few stains and decided to go with the cherry stain. It was not too dark, I wanted to be careful not to go to dark because over time the wood will darken naturally. I was also concerned because I used the kit supplied mahogany to line the bulkheads and I was worried that the stains would not go well together, but luckily they did. I don't think I need to put a second coat of stain on. I also was able to get matching wood filler and it matches the stain very well. I did some filling tonight but I will probably continue to do it as I see places that need it. -Aaron

Randy, Is your balsa sanded down enough? Check it by holding up a plank right under the bulwark and one right above it on the bulwark, they should be flush. Also, if you haven't done this already, hold a plank up to the bulkheads and make sure the plank rests on each bulkhead. Do this a several locations. If it doesn't sit flush, bevel it so it does, this will make a huge difference once you start planking. Aaron

Yea I will give it a try. I'm more of a hockey fan, football is fun but it doesn't determine my outcome in life as it does some people around here. The Steelers haven't had much trouble from "little brothers" across the state lines lately, but big brother in baltimore has been a little rough to handle. -Aaron

Randy, Is there a Michaels craft store or HobbyLobby near you? They usually sell balsa and basswood. -Aaron

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.
