    This is my first wood build I've only built plastic ships before , I have already built the keel and the bulkheads and in the process of planking which is where I started having problems .

    Sorry about the clutter folks I will start a build log . I'm rather new to all this , the information on this build is pretty scarce and the instructions are probably for someone with much more experience than me .

    Thanks for the quick reply , I was thinking the same thing the first plank is glued to the stringers , if I sand the bulkheads wouldn't that throw everything off even more ? Not really sure how this even happened .

    Building the Dumas sub chaser , for some reason the planks aren't contacting the last two bulkheads at the transom . Was told I should of faired the frames but it's only the last two . Any way to fix this without removing the planks ?

    Oh the stringers are basswood still kinda new to all this .

    I will try the balsa that came with the kit if I have any problems with it I will try and find some basswood . The pic you posted would leave no room for the stuffing box that has to go through the keel .
  9. LEGION 12
    Balsa planks are next .
  10. LEGION 12
    Finished keel and frames .
  11. LEGION 12

    I have to cut the rear keel section to fit the front perhaps ?
  15. LEGION 12
    Hi all building the Dumas sub chaser didn't get very far before I ran into a little problem , not sure how the rear center keel and the forward keel section go together ? All it says in the instructions is , cut and shape the necessary ends of each strip shown on the full size drawing where the stuffing box will go .

    I've been cheating on the Markgraf with The Sullivan's didn't want to start another build log mainly to practice my weathering . The boss - admiral bought it for me for Valentine's day .

  21. LEGION 12
    Sadly it's already half built or I would of bought one.
  22. LEGION 12
    Holy smokes I have the model The Sullivans by Trumpeter same scale but with no PE parts sure it won't hold a candle to yours .

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.
