    Mistake #4

     

    I didn’t follow the instructions.  I should have planked the sides with mahogany before the bottom.

     

    I thought my experience with the sub planks would make the mahogany planking easier, I was wrong.  I thought the planks would follow the contour of the hull but they wanted to change direction.  I realized I was thinking in terms of a cylinder, not a compound curve.  I chose to install the top plank first to ensure one plank looked right.  I kludged together the remaining planks.  I’m embarrassed to show this picture.

    Stu; welcome aboard!  For me it really doesn’t matter if it’s in the water, air on rails or roads etc.  Just viewing the breadth of craftsmanship and creativity on our site is what I enjoy. I’ve worked mostly in wood and plastic but when I saw some of the ships and trains, etc. made from paper/cardboard I was blown away!
    Again, welcome...stay safe...Moab

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.
