    Ron, very nice picture. Looks very beutiful! How did you find were to put the plank ends (locations on beams)? I see you have a pattern of 3 between the planks. Is that something that was used during this time period or just something you guessed? What kind of varnish did you use on the hull, decks? I'm new to wooden builds so I'm trying to learn while I build, but want to get as much information as possible instead of just guessing.

    Did they follow any specific pattern on the decking? I know they did on later ships.

    Yes that's what I have understood is a easy way to simulate caulking, but I guess I should cut the deck planks so they aren't to long as well? I guess on the original they didn't use planks that were the full length of each deck.

    Hello. I have just got the model Revenge from Amati (ship from 1577) and the manual is great, but when it comes to the deck planking they don't suggest any form of caulking. I think it would look more realistic if I added that but when I also need to cut the deck planks into "correct lengths" and use some deck planking pattern that is correct for the time period. The manual just suggest putting the planks next to each other to make a "solid" deck. I wonder what the correct length of deck planks and pattern was during the 16th century (1577). I have tried to search for it but can't find any good information.

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.
