    Mike- congrats! It came out great. Finally started mine and not looking forward to planking. ;-) What's the next project...Mayflower? Steve

    The hull is looking good. I would change the font on your settings though so it's easier to read your post. Steve

    Karl, Your model is looking great. Good to see it again. Steve

    The false keel, keel, and stem were glued on top of a piece of glass. There was a slight space between the stem and keel. I added a small bead of glue to seal the gap. Squaring the bulkheads is next. Steve

    Yes- start a log, Walt. We'd like to see your progress. Believe it or not there aren't too many logs of the Pinnace on MSW. Steve

    A slow start, but here we go...First task was to sand the laser cut sheets. I removed all bulkheads, false keel, keel, and stem. Currently working on creating the rabbet using Chuck's method of pinstripe tape. To create the taper I'm using sanding blocks. Steve

    This is looking good. Steve

    In Chuck's instructions the photos are even more clear on this one than the longboat as to how the garboard is shaped and placed. My plan is to line off the hull using a planking fan before laying them down. This should give the correct shape. After lining out the hull and making a test garboard, I also edgebend the next plank to make sure it curves around the garboard. If it's too severe, I adjust the garboard to a more gentle curve. I do this before gluing them down. This process is very time consuming, but necessary. Bob F used this method for the first couple of planks on his longboat. Hope this helps. Steve

    That's looking really good. Looks like the planks are lying against the bulkheads and not lifting. I also bent the planks that way for the longboat and cut off the excess. Bending the plank that hugs against the garboard was the most severe. Been sanding and removing parts from my laser cut sheets and prepping the keel. Hope to post some pics soon to join you in this project. Steve

    Those boats looks fantastic! Steve

    Room for one more on this one? 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.
