    I'm glad the operation went well and you're feeling better again. A wrecked ship. This will be an interesting project.

    Thanks. No. I had no gaps in my little planks. But remember, on the original ship these planks were 10cm thick, 40 or 50 cm wide and meters long. Not easy to handle and to adjust once placed on the ships hull. So, if there is a gap between 2 planks under the waterline. Nail a batten over the gap, once the ship is launched. Gap, batten....? Where???😇. (My opinion 😉)

    Only on the red lines

    The side skirts, all other parts and some extras are in place, so the model ready for painting Next, 3 armoured cars. The idea is to build them in a series Unlike previous models, sharply cast parts

    Last update of 2023 The scarfs in the keel parts have treenails and the battens have been applied. I'm not going to add any iron bolts or nails. All iron fasteners were caulced or shielded with wood (bolts in the keel) and are therefore invisible. If the seams between the planks are too wide and caulcing will not stay in place. What are you doing then.. knock a batten over it, and case closed. Personal view, I think it's a horrible sight. Battens And on the model The hull has only been sanded with 120 grit, so it still needs some better sanding. The next step is to install a deck and plank the stern. A happy 2024 to everyone

    Planking at the bow is tapered. Forget YouTube for a moment and read some PDFs first. Remember, planking is not a race. First read the pdf'S, then think how you gowing to do the planking, then try if the plank fits and only then gleu the plank on the model.

    Because applying the wheels and tracks is a delicate job, this is being done now. Step by step and partially painted. Ready to continue painting and mounting the skirts

    For a first time planking, very good. But Take your time for the second planking, this will largely determine the appearance of your model later. Also take a look at your cannon ports, they don't all seem the same size on the picture

    So much better 😉

    Congratulations Nice work Rock

    Looks good. I would give it a try with the Scotchbrite sponge. this is smoother and softer than sandpaper. Best is to "practice" on a waste piece first

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.
