    Thanks John! I was going to search online for pictures of wood. The link you attached is a big help.

    mfh, Did you get any answers on the parts list question? I am attempting to build the AL H.M.S Bounty 1:48. I can't understand the parts list. Mine is only in english. I can't match up the parts list and pictures with the various types of planks and strakes. I've used a digital caliper to attempt to measure and match but not having any success. For example The parts list shows: No. Description Qty Measurements Material in mm. 17 Planking strakes/hatch 1st deck 11 0,6x5x30 Mukali 20 Hold Planking 26 1.5x5x155 African Walnut 41 Hull planking 44 1,5x5x730 African Walnut 46 Gunwales outer planking 11 1,5x7x730 Sapelia I believe the quantity refers to the number needed of that particular part no./length. Where the measurement for item no. 17 would be .6 mm x 5 mm and 30 mm long. Each plank appears to be 730 mm total length but they are telling me I need to cut to 30 mm length and use 11 pieces? Nothing was labeled and sorted to determine which planks are which. Any help?

    I too am attempting to build this kit. I've owned it for more than 20 years! It sat on a shelf all that time. My question is how to identify the correct plank parts for the decks and hold. I do not see any markings as indicated in the rather poor instructions. Some of the plank parts are very similar in color and thickness. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

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.
