Thanks BE! Here's a photo of the plank that will need the repair. The positive is that if I leave it and repair, I can test the limits of these materials. It also saves me weeks in re-planking. Lately, I have not been enjoying the planking process. I will give final thoughts on the planking of the Pinnace v. Longboat when I complete the outer planking. Steve

It's been a while since I've made a contribution so here we go. Starboard planking is complete. Still only roughly sanded with 180 grit. I ended up removing the sheer strake to allow clamping of the remaining planks. Some planks are very thin in some areas especially on the port side. Undecided if I will remove the offending plank on the port side before I close it up. I think some maple sawdust, white glue, and some sanding will smooth out the wrinkled plank. (Yes- wrinkled from being too thin. Not the entire plank only 1 1/4inches.) The other option is to remove two planks on that side, which means I will have five remaining planks to form. I am leaning away from this option. Steve

Congrats and nicely done. This is a difficult kit. I don't know how the results would be with basswood. I think the long runs and severe curves make it especially difficult. Cheers to moving forward! 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.
