    in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck

    Posted

    I traced it directly off the plans and then cut out a pattern from a fairly rigid piece of poster board.  I then traced the outline on a piece of basswood of proper thickness which I purchased at a local craft's store.  I then used the scroll saw to cut out the rail and I fit it to the hull with sandpaper and a very sharp Exacto knife.  The outboard edge of the rail needs to be angled to conform to the curve of the hull.  You can eyeball the edge angle by comparing to the curve of the bulkheads and carry that curve up the edge of the rail (before you glue it in place!).

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.
