    Welcome to my first build ever, The Schooner Vega.

    Everything up to step #7 is complete. 

    I’m struggling hard to understand how to plank, improve technique, where to fasten planks and all.

    I recommend you start a build log in the Kit area.   It will do a couple of things... it will aid in getting you help as we can see how you're building this model and also it will help anyone else who builds it. 

    I think I’ll do that! The thing is... if I glue the planks to those top bulkheads thingies how am I gonna cut them off then?🤔

    Im brand new to model ships and have bought a ”schooner Vega” from billing boats. I dont understand planking at all but ive read the guide thats on here... however, these plans are a bit hard to read to a beginner like me. It looks like you cut off two tops in step #6 then again in #9 but in order to get the floor base on I have to cut off every single top but then how are the planks gonna stay in place. They’re not stuck to anything in step #11 and forward. How am I supposed to stick the top planks to the frame?v1U0Ddl.jpgvZkXvPQ.jpg

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.
