Hello guys, In this tutorial I'm gonna share my way to determine the shape of 2nd planking hull: Prepare some pieces of A3 Paper (297mm x 420mm / 11.7’’x16.5’’), a paper cutter, a ruler, a measuring tape (or any flexible ruler/ thread) , and masking tape. measure the distance from the deck to the keel at the widest point. This is x. the length from stem to stern at the widest point is y. cut the paper into strips, and the size of the paper strip is: width = the width of plank, length = y and the amount of the paper strips = x/ the width of plank Put the strips of paper in order Cutting out the plank follow the shape of each paper strip. .... .... Hello? anybody home?

The plywood is cheap, but it can't touch water. There’s one safe way to Bend those kits made by Plywood: using steam-bending. 1. put it into a food steamer 2. steam above water for 10 minutes 3. Bending the Curve. 4. When it cooling down, repeat all steps above until you finish it. But if the thickness of plywood less than 4 mm, using an iron(put a wet cloth under it) Bending the plywood while it is hot.

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.
