    That's really cool I've been looking for a model of that ship , never built a paper model .
  2. LEGION 12
    Thought you all would enjoy the behind the scenes .
  3. LEGION 12

    Your paint job and weathering put mine to shame , what are you doing with the decks , painting or wood ?
  5. LEGION 12
    Love this model yours looks like it's coming along wonderfully , built this one a few years back .

    It's warmed up enough that my glue won't freeze .

    Hi all hope everyone is well . Haven't posted in awhile , but I have managed to get some work done . I didn't use the basswood sheets , was getting frustrated and decided to use the balsa planks that came with the kit . The results came out better than I hoped , no major gaps or issues I did have to shim a couple of the bulwarks .

    Found a video of this build .

    Thanks guys the plank along the gunwale is a stringer , after I sand that and the bulkheads flush I will glue it back on the building board , a step I didn't do before and wouldn't of even noticed it if not for removing the planks . I bought more basswood sheets than I will need just in case . I will give it a shot dry fitting everything first before committing to gluing . One more question what did you use to cut the basswood I am assuming a sharp knife should do the trick .

    Hey all managed to get very little done this week , works been busy . A question if I may I have gone thru Popeyes PT build and it's helped a lot also checked out the scratch build PBR Mark 1 by Thistle , both are using the Basswood sheets for there builds instead of planks . My question I have are there any builds using this method with a hull shape similar to what I am attempting to build ? Trying to get a better idea of how to attack this . Thanks Rich .

    My shop walls are covered in expanded foam . 😀
  12. LEGION 12
    I would love to see how that's done ! Plans call for fiberglassing the hull with 2 oz cloth once it's planked and sanded .
  13. LEGION 12
    Do you think these will work work with the hull shape I'm working with ?
  14. LEGION 12
    Great to see you post here been watching your PT build and others for awhile with envey . If I added more bulkheads it would cause problems later with the mounting running gear , of course I could be wrong .
  15. LEGION 12
    Planks are off just have to clean up the stringers a little . Going to see if I can find the correct length planks next .
  16. LEGION 12
    2 planks off 2 more to go no damage to the bulwarks but don't think the planks are going to make it . I at least know how to remove parts now .
  17. LEGION 12
    Started to slowly remove the planks , taking my time .
  18. LEGION 12
    Looks like removing a couple planks is the solution I have CA debonder and alcohol . Going to think over , took a couple more pictures in what daylight was left .
  19. LEGION 12
    Makes sense to me once I figure out what to do with the planking I will glue it back on .
  20. LEGION 12
    I really appreciate you all trying to help me out , really should started a build log here before I even started . I had it glued on a building board but the instructions specified I remove it before planking as you can see . Can always glue it back on I suppose .
  21. LEGION 12
    I used Gorilla wood glue on the edges of the planks and Ca glue to glue the planks to the bulkheads , there are only 4 planks installed 2 on each side . The first plank is attached to the stringers so there is nothing to be faired as far as I know .
  22. LEGION 12
    In hindsight I should have but the instructions made no mention of doing so . Also the plans calls for 36 inch planks and I was supplied with 30 inch planks so I had to splice 2 together to get the correct length .
  23. LEGION 12
    Hi I went ahead and started a build log , the planks seem to be bending fine only the 2 rear ones aren't contacting the bulkheads .
  24. LEGION 12
    The planks aren't contacting the 2 rear bulkheads still trying to figure out why .

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.
