    I wrote earlier that I was going to use 125mm for my deck planking but after reading the articles on this site recommended by Druxey, I went with 120mm. I've decided that seeing as this is my first build I'll use it as an opportunity to learn and experiment and leave the historically accurate builds to the more experienced and maybe me later on. Finally finished the decking. Probably went a bit overboard (no pun intended) on the cauking! Have included some pics during this phase.

    oops, thanks Greg, now I'm confused, so I should paint what before the deck have been planked?

    Thanks guys, have settled on a 4 butt shift using 125mm as used by Baynan. Will post some pics when I have planked the remainder of the decks. A question, If I'm going to paint as Banyan is doing, at what stage should I start.. like after the deck planking?

    Added the false decks and started on the planking. I've only done the stern planking using a black 'Sharpie' fine point permanent marker on one side only. I've been taking my time with the rest of the planking as I'm still trying to work out the best layout. I'm thinking maybe a four plank might be the way to go. Any advice would be most appreciated.

    Already found a mistake and had to create a fix. I expected the pieces to fit together perfectly..LOL .. I found I needed to add a bit to one of the bulkheads as it didn't fit correctly, or maybe I didn't do it right. Anyway. I had to fix it.

    The start of building Endevour before I found Model Ship World Forum and discovered that model wooden ships are not like assembling a plastic model!

    My compliments captain, she is really looking good. I'm new at this and for some reason picked AL Endevour as my first wooden ship. I am following with interest your log and I'm just starting to work on the deck planking

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.
