    Hi RossR, Youre going fast! I 'm buiding the Diana too but at a much lower pace... I' far from an expert, but it turned out pretty good for my Diana's hull. I used Chuk's method too. For the first layer, i soaked the planks in hot water for 10 minutes. fix them on the hull and let it dry out. For me it worked fine. The second layer wasn't that easy. The planks are very thin and therefore the planks tend to buckle up during the bending proces. I used an old iron to make the curve. Some planks needed the proces up to ten times to make the curve. Check my buildlog. There are some pictures about how i planked the hull. Keep up the good work! Gr. Kyak

    Litlle update, The lower part of the hull is oiled. The keel and rudder parts are replaced by walnut parts. The windows of the gallery are a pain in the a**. I couldn't get the curve right and decide to use the solution that DavidG used on his Diana. Replacing the PE brass part by styreen strips. It took a lot of hours to do this job... But happy with the re. µ

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.
