    Should the deck planking be completed before the cap rail installation?

    Where did they carry the wood for this stove? It must have been a large load.

    Looks like it .is pushed back a 32nd or so. Might cause a slight dip in planking. Add a shim and sand easy peasy fix

    The only deck beams glued in are above the bulkheads all the rest are temporarily inserted. Still having photo rotation issues with various photos trying to figure it out.

    My Winnie will be a tiny little bit different then others. I just did not like the look of the Captains cabin walls so I built my own and painted them white. This made the cabin a tad bit narrower so without doing a lot of trimming on the doors it could not fit four doors. Went with three and a filler. Looks fine. Not historically or Chuck accurate but nobody will know except this little group. Also added a ship’s cat, the Admiral loves it.

    Been busy busy working on a display for the whaling museum in Lahaina Maui . A buddy of mine built the Charles W Morgan and asked me to build the case. The trick with this case was it had to (1) be used for transport without damage to the model, (2) be the model display case with no modification after shipment and (3) have a water feature. It all worked…go figure. Anyway after this project I got back to work on my Winnie.

    Beautiful work Bob. Stealing your wire idea.

    Chuck I’ll post some photos in the next couple of days. I usually download the plans from the Syren site. Never think about checking on MSW. Daaaa. On the gun port covers you did not have a line for opening but I was planning on adding it. Would a cleat be added above or on the side of the gun port to secure.

    When will Chapter 7 written instructions be hitting the streets?

    Personally I put glue on every surface the plank touches.

    Personally I see no use in these bending wood strips. Side bending, wet bending and steam bending would all be preferred by me.

    “Turns out I only needed to adjust and use one wider plank” You talked about having to add one or two wider planks on the ends I was wondering if it would also work top dead center.
  17. Jim Rogers
    Could the two wider planks go top center?
  18. Jim Rogers
    What Bill said. Soak in Acetone first to remove oils, fresh water rinse, then gun blueing solution.
  19. Jim Rogers
    Cherry or Boxwood plus Ebony Stain.....much easier

    Your ship your call.

    Where beams bolted into place and should we simulate bolts?
  22. Jim Rogers
    Apply a little heat with a heat gun and pull it out.

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.
