    Yes- I agree too. I would remove and add some glue before installing. You don't want bulkheads shifting while planking. It's a very long hull. No need to make it more difficult. ;-) Steve

    Looks good so far! Steve
  3. Tigersteve
    That looks good. Maybe I should start building mine. ;-) Steve

    Very nice. Steve

    Anxious to see how you line off your hull for the second planking with your vaneer strips. It'll be interesting to see this ship finished without copper plates as it usually is. Steve

    Nice planking! Steve

    The guns are looking very nice and the rope coils. Steve

    Very nice! Steve
  15. Tigersteve
    I will follow along. Looks like a strong start! Steve

    Just found this one. Will have to follow along. Steve

    Very nice work. Steve

    Yeah- that's the stuff you should get not that pink crap. David, you can and should still request better wood from them. I'll say it again- this kit isn't cheap. Steve
  19. Tigersteve
    So cool! Steve
  20. Tigersteve
    Nicely done and nice repair. Steve
  21. Tigersteve
    Beautiful! Steve

    I apologize in advance that I'm not in full Mayflower building mode yet to work through these challenges with you. I actually ordered William Baker's book- The Mayflower and Other Colonial Vessels that Chuck referenced in the build. Regarding the stain- I would sand and stain after you've applied the planks to the ship. I think you should also modify the ship to suit your taste as no one really knew how she looked. Again- I want my gun ports open ;-) Steve

    You are in the groove. Keep it up! Can't wait for the fully planked hull. Steve
  24. Tigersteve
    You're making this look easy! I'm sure it's not. Steve

    Received the display case from Kreative Acrylics today. I'm very pleased with the end result. The dimensions worked out perfectly. Enjoy! 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.
