    Hi Christian -- I think you may have me confused with Don Robinson. I'm David Robinson, and this is the first build I've posted. I appreciate you following along. I'm glad you think it's clean. It's my fifth model, and I'm learning. Thanks, David Robinson

    Denis: I went through your build log when I was starting out on the Revenge, and it was really helpful to me. I saw that you had to pause for your health. I really hope you get better quickly. Thanks, David Robinson

    Christian: Thanks for your nice comment. This model requires precise placement of the "wale" planks, and that in turn requires intricate side-bending of the finish layer planks (some of mine had a "S" shape by the time I was finished bending them!). I used steam, clamps, and a hair dryer plus a plank bender. At the bow, I started with bow-to-stern planks, and then finally let the planks turn upward and worked out to the bow again. You can see it in the attached picture. The only place I used stealers was at the stern, where it really flares out. Thanks, David Robinson

    Antony -- Thanks for your comments. My name is David Robinson, and per the instructions I put that in the title of my post, but somehow the MSW system changed it to my user name. From now on, I'll sign my posts. I'm also not seeing any way to reply to your post, so I went back to my original to add this post, and I hope it works. Thanks, David Robinson

    I have benefited from others' posts about the Revenge, so I thought I'd post my status partway through the build, with the decks complete and ready to begin the masts. This is a fantastic kit, with wonderful quality and instructions. You'll notice that I have kept the hull natural vs. painting it white below the waterline. The videos in other Revenge logs on plank bending were a fantastic help, although I found that steam + hair dryer worked best and fastest for me. Happy to share my experiences up to this point with anyone who may be at an earlier stage.

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.
