    Glue it with thin CA as suggested. You can press plank in with the fingers but through the plastic bag. If gaps are present fill them in with wood filler or the saw dust mixed with PVA. Grind smooth with scrapers and sand paper. Repaint.

    I was just kidding. Myself had started the hobby about that age.

    Age of 52 is too young for wooden ship building. 😊
  13. Y.T.
    Cheer up. As this is a wooden model, everything can be repaired on this model. Carrying sails ship model in the soft bag however is a mistake.

    Hi. When I hear "CDs are included" I feel I am sorry. Contemporary computer equipment do not have CD playing accommodation. I do not even have it in my car or on any device at home. In order to play a CD the only place I can go to is to my moms. She has a computer I bought her 5 years ago. She is 87 years old.

    Speaking of mast’s complexity “You ain’t seen nothing yet” 😊

    I cannot see any of treenails on today's Victory hull on this photo. Looks more like some nails heads. I can see some on the other pics. None would be seen under the paint and at 1:96 scale.
  22. Y.T.
    I think you are right. No-one can see treenails in common scale as 1:48 as example except the current modelers.

    One more from Victory deck

    As for gold and copper I can recommend paints shown on the pictures. I was pleased with the results.

    You also can secure the dowel into electrical drill chuck. Use same wooden guide arrangement as topic starter shows. Turning on the drill but not turning on a sander disk may provide much cleaner results.

    I agree. Also your idea is new to me and good in some circumstances. Enjoy discovering a pleasure of ship building.
  31. Y.T.
    Well. I got the idea. Issue is you can only machine the length of dowel equal to half of your grinding wheel diameter. What when you need a longer taper? Another limitation I see is when one needs to taper a small diameter dowels as 3 mm to 2 mm for example. The grinder may chew on the dowel.

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.
