    Sprayed on a primer to aid in contouring, and sanding.

    Rich...recalculating my measurements...Her bulwarks are 6.5ft including the monkey rail. That means her main rail is at a height of 5.1ft where her poop and forecastle decking are located. Correct? Her planksheer sits atop her 12" waterways. I'm assuming her main rail is measured from the deck, not on top of the waterway? I am finalizing all these measurements so I can calculate the placement of the external planksheer Moulding, which is be 6" thick and 16" wide. Same size as the rail cap. fun, fun, fun... Rob

    Now a couple overall’s.

    While I was at it I held the Staghound figurehead up for eval. It’s a little small cuz it’s behind the cutwater….. under the soon to be hood
  13. rwiederrich
    Did some corrections to the cutwater and the keel. Here is a close up of the stem.

    I gathered that as well. I'm in the ball park then. Just asking. Plotting out the main rail cap and the 16" monkey rail. Inside will be the waterways and planksheer. I'll place the cap rail first, then the exterior planksheer. The Navel hood will go on first before that install. But before all that....I still need to finalize the stern. Rob

    Contouring.
  19. rwiederrich
    Working out the contours.
  20. rwiederrich
    Yep...it is 3ft...or 2.5 scale ft. Does that number include the *false* keel as well? Rob
  21. rwiederrich
    After the keel I worked more on sanding and finalizing the stem and cutwater. Rob
  22. rwiederrich
    beginning to add the keel.
  23. rwiederrich
    Thanks for all the input Rich...and from everyone else who has contributed to the lively exchange as of late. I'll spend some time today finalizing the shape of the bow and stern...probably more filling and sanding. I'll, then primer the hull to expose further inconsistencies, that will most likely require filling and sanding. Once all that is done, and I'm satisfied......I'll affix the stem/cutwater and keel to include the stern post. I move fast...but not too fast. I want this as correct as I can manage. Monkey rail will come after I lay the sub floors for the decking. Rob

    Don’t let the discolored wood trip you up. It looks weird, but the hull is getting smoother by the day. Worked on the stern reduction and the stem/cutwater. She still needs her monkey rail,(later). I still have to reduce the prow by 1/2”…….cutting it in so it buts smoothly against the bowsprit. Still oodles to do, but getting there. A bit more filling and sanding……then the addition of the stern post, keel and stem/cutwater.

    Thanks gents. Did a bit of work today. Here are some updates.

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.
