    Thanks Toni! Quite a learning process.

    Cutting the piece from a sheet of brass would probably produce the best result.

    I'm wondering if forced edge bending was used. And if so, how often. Would this be enough to distort the hull?

    I'll be sure to remember your advice.

    Bottom band of planking finished. Now to mark off the center band planks and the stealer. While the planking isn't perfect, I'm starting to get the hang of it. Each row of planks is just a bit better than the one before it.

    You should be proud! Takes lots of persistence and dedication to produce such a fine model!

    Wow! Its been awhile. Anyway I'm just a bit further ahead than where I was when I dumped my first attempt and started my second, That is, just starting the lower band of planking. I was hoping to make quicker strides from here on but tomorrow we have to travel downstate for one of the granddaughters plays, drive back on Saturday and Sunday is another granddaughter's birthday party. So perhaps I can get another plank or two done on Monday. The holidays are quickly closing in and I know that will delay thinks a bit as well. But I'm determined to get this model finished so I can start on my Pilar model. Had an image to post of my current progress but it seem the site is having some issues at the moment. So Ill post some on my next update. Merry Christmas to all!

    Welcome aboard! You might consider starting with the 3 boat starter kits from Model Shipways. A great way to introduce yourself into the world of wooden boat modeling. I wish these were available when I started.

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.
