    Shaping and installing the risers was a tricky task. I matched the curve of the third strake down from the shear fairly close. More time was spent creating a symmetrical pair. Now I can add some paint and begin some small structural modifications. I'm inspired by the below example provided by Chuck to our fellow member in his build. Shown below. Steve

    I do very little at a time. I think sometimes it helps the quality. This plank bending takes time and is frustrating on these small boats. If you do Chuck's Pinnace kit, you get to do inboard planking too. Steve

    Sounds about right! You are doing really well. Steve

    Really nice finish. Steve

    Nicely done! Steve

    Nice technical analysis. She's looking sharp! Steve

    Congrats! Nicely done. Steve

    I agree with Per. Seems awfully expensive for the case. Regarding the photos- try placing it near a window with daylight. No flash. Don't shoot the photo towards the daylight though. Steve

    Looks good. Don't forget to line the first couple frames and the last couple. Steve

    I'm in too! Steve

    I love your work philosophy. Good choice to rip out and redo. I actually planked mine twice. First time I ruined it with treenailing and model expo sent me replacement parts so I could do it all again. :-) It's a painful decision to redo something but it's always worth it in the end. Steve

    Very nice! Steve

    The aft platform was fairly simple to craft. Edge-glued after using a #2 pencil to simulate the caulking. After I was satisfied with the shape of my template I traced it onto my maple strips. Straight cuts were made with several passes of an exact knife for the general shape. The rotory tool with sanding disk got the wood close to the outline so I could fine sand the rest. Since the strips were edge-glued, there was a slight bend. I braced the back with a single strip of wood. One more sanding and coat of finish is needed before it is glued. Steve

    You are correct. Model Expo changed the instructions regarding the thwart dimensions. Plans were the way to go. Nice work. Steve

    Congrats Derek on another ridiculously fast Longboat build! I like this version better than the first. Nice color scheme. Steve

    Very cool project. Steve

    Can't you dye the ratlines if you do not like the color? Steve

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.
