    Looks great, Erik. Steve

    I have no clue. I was just curious. Your rigging looks awesome to me. I'm not close to rigging anything yet. :-) Steve

    I guess their cutting of pre spiled planks isn't great. If you're going to paint it then plug on. Wood filler and sanding should do the trick. You could always get some new strips and replank with your own shaping and bending of planks. That will be good practice and you may feel better after you've done a redo successfully. It's almost like redoing things is initiation into this hobby! Steve

    The platform looks like a nice fit. Some sanding will lighten up the graphite marks. Steve

    Wow you work quickly! And it's still sharp. Steve

    Chuck's method looks great. My only fear is to drill all those holes and then not have them lined up perfectly. You notice it right away. I'm interested to see how you proceed. Steve

    Do you use any wax on the lines? Steve

    I think this kit looks cool as well. I will follow. Good luck! Steve

    Thanks Erik!

    Very sharp, Erik. Are you going to do the tree nailing when the time comes? Steve

    Thanks everyone for your support. Haha- I know that riggging will pose a whole new set of challenges so I will not be finished soon. Also, I have intentions of displaying the Pinnace with this boat so I want to complete all aspects of this build except the rigging and come back to it when the Pinnace is complete. I'm going to have to decide if it will make sense to display these two together. Steve

    Some more progress on the metal work. Lift rings and thwart accepting the mast installed. The locker lid is complete and the mast step is also installed. The locker hinges are next. I think she is getting there! Steve

    Good stuff. Steve
  14. Tigersteve
    Your strategy def paid off! Great! Steve

    I'm in! Steve
  16. Tigersteve
    Count me in. Steve

    Looking really good. Steve
  18. Tigersteve
    Yes- go with your gut and redo. It looks good in photos but may cause a problem later? Steve
  19. Tigersteve
    It's coming along nicely! Photos are a little fuzzy but it looks very clean still. Steve

    I've been working on shaping the thwart that will accept the mast. Cockpit seats are stained and installed. Here's some photos, which also include the first coat of paint on the metal work: lift rings and metal for the mast braces. Wow- these parts are small! Steve

    Sounds like scratch to me. Looks cool Ken. Steve
  22. Tigersteve
    Looks great. Steve
  23. Tigersteve
    Looks awesome. Steve
  24. Tigersteve
    Looking really good. Welcome back to the 18th century longboat battle. Nirvana will be excited as well to see your build return! It's so much more fun after planking is completed. Still difficult though. Steve

    Looks great! 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.
