    I'll come along on ship #3! Steve

    Beautiful work. 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
  9. Tigersteve
    Room for one more on this one? Steve
  10. Tigersteve
    Nicely done! Steve
  11. Tigersteve
    Well- I thought you didn't have enough work to do with it! Lol Hey- who knows, you might like the end result. Steve
  12. Tigersteve
    Looks sharp. Steve
  13. Tigersteve
    Indeed, but you will know and so will we. Lol Steve

    Nice experiment. Looks pretty good. What if you used more sawdust with white glue(no water) then sand with finer grit 220-320-400? Steve
  15. Tigersteve
    I'll follow too. Steve
  16. Tigersteve
    Congratulations. Looks great! Steve
  17. Tigersteve
    Worked out nicely. Steve

    Another way to go about it would be to plank from the keel upward starting with the garbard streak. Maybe line off the hull and see how that looks. Sorry I haven't started mine yet to give you more insight, but planking upwards like I just mentioned worked for me with the longboat. I really have to start this thing! ;-) Steve
  19. Tigersteve
    Nice! Steve

    Per- I hope you don't give up on this build. It's a well designed kit as we all know. Wonder why the QC is an issue on this one. Looks like you need a new set of plans and new plywood from Model Expo. Keep us posted on how they resolve this one for you. Steve
  21. Tigersteve
    I look forward to seeing your planking sanded. Don't cover it up just yet. Steve
  22. Tigersteve
    I think you need to do some edge bending to get the bottom of those planks to lie on the bulkheads. I'm sure it's a beast to plank like the Longboat. Steve
  23. Tigersteve
    Definitely in for this one. Steve
  24. Tigersteve
    I'm in. Can't follow too many Syren builds! Steve
  25. Tigersteve
    Agreed! 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.
