    I would keep the color consistent with your sheer freeze though. Steve

    Really nice work throughout. Steve

    Best of luck in your project. I shall follow along too. No shame in borrowing ideas from others. Steve

    Looking really good at this point. I agree your treenailing effect is subtle. I think you are having trouble with the look of the transom because the colors are more vibrant than the NMM version and not as subtle. You have it on nice and clean though. Steve

    Count me in too. Steve

    Rich- I think those match the style and look of your ship well. Definitely usable. Steve

    Chris, The results are fantastic. Very clean work. Steve

    Nice! That is a tricky part of the project. Actually, all parts were tricky. Steve

    Looks great and nice case. What are the dimensions and price if you don't mind me asking? Steve

    It's a challenging kit for sure. Thank you everyone for the support! Steve

    Bulkhead centers were removed with the needle file shown below. The process went smoothly. Inboard fairing is moving along. We're just about 1/16" thickness all around. I'd like to get it closer to 1/32". I'm back and forth between sandpaper and my rotary tool with a sanding disk attachment. Steve

    I can't believe you're making us wait a week! Can't wait. Steve

    Echo what these folks said. Steve

    Nicely done. Steve

    I really think it's all about having a positive attitude and patience. We set our own limits. Steve

    Very nicely done. Especially like name on the stern and the rigging. Steve

    Agreed- the Pinnace is harder to plank. I felt the length and shape contributed to its difficulty. B.E., from what I've seen of everyone's logs of the Cheerful, Chuck designed this one foolproof! I think with your skills you'll have no problem with it. Steve

    This is looking really good, Jesse. I like it. Steve
  20. Tigersteve
    That was quick! It turned out great. I think you'll be happy after the sanding and WOP. Steve
  21. Tigersteve
    Nice! Steve

    Your kind words are much appreciated. Thank you everyone for the likes. Below is a better photo of the finish. Steve

    Completed planking. Several rounds of sanding concluded with 400 grit sandpaper and Wipe on Poly. I do like the look of the maple when finished. I am disappointed with the outcome of the repairs and this planking result. I think there were several mistakes leading to this such as impatience, oversanding, and not properly fairing the hull at the bow, The Pinnace is much more difficult to plank than the Longboat. I think the length and shape of the hull make it difficult to plank. There are several twists and turns as a result. So the question we must ask is this: do we redo? If I was building this as one of the boats for my Confederacy, I would redo. However, after three months of planking this, I will move forward. To get the planking to the level I want would force me to start the entire planking over. I'm looking forward to the more fun parts of this project. Steve

    Nice! Steve

    Many people seem to use Caldercraft carronades. Check Dirk and Thomas' logs. 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.
