    I like your setting of the sails....... shows action taking place....... be nice if you could find some figurines that are pulling rope, that would put the icing on the cake.👍

    Yes, it's worth your time to make it "ship shape".

    Some guy's dip the sails in tea. Once dried dip again to get darker. Brew up some and test it on simular material.

    The plank flow's into the keel.... no wicked hook.

    Look at page 20, then read up on the garboard plank..... you have to make a new one. https://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Framing_and_Planking/plankingprojectbeginners.pdf

    Your garboard plank is to far up the bow...... as you progress your plank's will end up with tooth pic ends. You have to correct the garboard, and start over.

    Yes very nice builds......... But i think Doris holds 1st place in card modeling.

    What you did is right....... I read this somewhere, that even so you are building to scale something won't look right. and you have to go off scale to make it look right to the human eye. A good gauge to use for this is a scale figure, in your case a 1:48 can be found on ebay ( o scale figure ) in model railroad trains in toys and hobbies.

    A lot of work goes into building a wooden model ship........ And you have to have your thinking cap on your head, all of the time. 🧐

    Using the veneer put the icing on the cake ! 👍

    I never herd of the nib method...... Where can i find that ?
  21. TOM G
    I would double and double check..... at how far that garboard plank is to be at the bow...... if it's running up the bow to far your plank's will start bunching up and you will have tooth pick ends on them. Mind you..... you will have to add some drop planks...... but that's normal.

    There might be something here for you, as far as ageing the wood. http://www.besttrains.com/vetero.html

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.
