    Hi guys a little bit more progress test fitting dead flat frame onto the keel... I've also binned the gorilla glue and started to use PVA glue instead. Sorry for the quality of the photo, they were taken on my phone. Tim

    Thanks will do, on the stern post and the stern deadwood I have a 3mm gap at the top. What would be the best way to fill the gap? A shim of 3mm wood? I have a few holes appearing is wood dust good to use? Thanks Tim

    I'm using gorilla glue which I'm regretting as it expands and leaves gaps

    Also the Swan class books and Greg's echo class model build. Greg i saw the table joint In the swan class book. I have your Echo cross section kit. The rising wood on the keel is one piece. I'm using solidworks to work out complicated parts.

    If you had a 3d CNC machine you could produce the frames from a wood blank. Try looking on youtube "import CAD or DWG into Sketchup"

    totally amazing! Please can we have renders of frames 25,23,21 and 19 on the deadwood so we can see the taper of the deadwood? Thanks Tim

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.
