    Notches were cut into the hull allowing insertion of the section line templates. Wood strip applied temporarily in the position of the keel to act as a guide. Shaping the bow one section at a time. We carved down to the edge of the template and then smoothed out to the previous section line. Shaping the stern. Port side shaping complete and rough sanded. Wood filler will be used to fill in the remaining trace of the notches prior to fine sanding. On to the starboard side. Shaping the stern.

    Thanks Ryland. We are actually finishing up a waterline model of the Yorktown and will then be returning to Virginia. I have some updated photos to post and will do so soon. Thanks for your interest. Chris and Michael

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.
