    I would apply the finishing wood last. That way it will cover up any dings that occur along the way.

    Another place to look is the Half Hull Planking Project. This was designed for novice modelers.

    The first post is the hardest. Welcome to MSW!
  15. tlevine
    I have no experience with this wood. How hard is it? I would probably use it for things like hatch covers rather than pillars.
  16. tlevine
    Have you considered photoetching thin sheet brass?

    At the top of the deck plan there is the comment "the ticked lines and those in green are proposed alterations, the others are as she is now". Also, look where the magazine lantern is in location to the faint word "magazine".

    That hull is looking very nice.

    The updated version has been added to the Resources section.

    I use Danish Oil for all of my models. My Hannah was made from pear (not swiss pear). It darkened the wood slightly but brought out the character of the grain.

    I received a shipping notice today.

    I find size 10 crochet hooks to be very useful with rigging. Readily found in sewing stores and Amazon.

    Take a look at the build log for the NRG rigging kit. The second fanciest tool is a fan showing the distance between ratlines. The two things you need to acquire are information about which lines are served and a serving machine. Of the ones commercially available today, Syren's is the best by far.

    First, welcome to MSW. What is your interest? Kits come with sufficient materials to make the boat. As a novice, learn the skills first, then concern yourself with the "best" materials. That is a concern for kit bashers and scratch builders.
  26. tlevine
    Like your taste in moral support. I would suggest going low tech... Hold the material in your hand and shape it with a file.
  27. tlevine
    It is what I use.

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.
