    It has some weight to it and does stay in place for small movements however I feel much more secure by clamping it to my table edge. I use standard spring clamps for rapid attachment and removal.

    Sous Vide Immersion pump keeps the water hot all day, although I use a mini steam cleaner or iron.

    Beautiful work Rusty. This is next up on my list. Question if your hull bottom is white wouldn’t the horse shoe and bow tie fittings also be white?

    Simply beautiful Chuck. Hope I don’t muck it all up. Is the wash cant under the lower cheek and hair bracket?

    You could probably get it resawn at a local lumberyard that deals in exotics.

    I make sure it is bent too form and dry fits well THEN I carefully use CA in about three inch segments of the plank.

    Chuck this is beautiful. In hot standby for Chapter 5.

    All I use is tweezers, strong light and magnifying glasses

    My only issue has been the occasional launching of stock into the wall at Mach 9.

    The Domanoff Server has a Mouse jig. Check out his website.

    Yes, I wrote Technical Documentation for Torpedo Maintenance. The Technical Manual would have in depth procedures whilst the checklist would be abbreviated. Example the technical manual would explain that part 15a should be installed in bulkhead 15 after removing char and test fitting. It would explain any placement processes. The checklist would say: Install 15a (para 3.1) . Using a checklist means steps don’t get missed in the verbiage.

    It would be great if an abbreviated checklist came with the written instructions.

    Did you order through Age of Sail?

    Go easy on the drill holes. The Trenails are for show and not structural. I attached a plank on each side let it dry then drilled it. This way I was looking directly at the frame and the plank. Put on a dab of diluted PVA and inserted. I used a chisel head razor knife blade to cut off the tail. Try to maintain a straight line when drilling.

    I use the same one on my xy table.

    Home Depot carries adjustable work benches.

    Chuck have you made anymore headway? Beautiful work thus far.
  21. Jim Rogers
    That looks great! Good job.

    I use a clothes steamer. Need to cut a Shaper jig out of wood. No clue why the top photo rotated 180.
  23. Jim Rogers
    I would erase all the tick marks, attach the garboard plank, and then line off from there.
  24. Jim Rogers
    You are doing a great job.

    Why not just apply a thin wood veneer.

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.
