    Thank you very much, I know it will be a long work. However, it is the result that's important. I created about 3,700 pcs of pins, it is stereotypical but quick, about 500 pcs in an hour.. Pinning the hull test, the dark cherry pins are nicely visible in the light cherry! I'm planning to smear the surface of the hull with restoration wax, testing it ..

    Placed top wales made of 5x3 mm strips.. Bending it into an arc created an unsuitable shape at the stem .. The end of the strip adjusted.. The result is satisfying .. planking started..

    Thank you honestly zappto, Backer, HubacsHistorian..!! I placed the keel, stem, stern post .. According to the instructions I found on the Internet, I have created a tool for accurate ribbing.. And it works .. And it works .. When ordering wooden strips I forgot to order 5x3 mm strips for wales, so I was forced to make them on a saw ..

    So I'm finally enjoying working with cherry wood .. The gun ports are brushed to the side's shape.. I tried bending the cherry, the first 5x4 mm strip in two directions, it goes easily just soaked .. I started to tile the mirror with bright cherry wood, here is the future contrast with dark cherry.. created keel, stern post, stem..

    Loopholes placed in the hull.. the inside of the hull painted black ..

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.
