    Sorry....... for some reason i was thinking you was getting ready to plank........... so goe's my brain at age 68.
  2. TOM G
    Your stains look good. Here's an idea..... stain some planks with the first stain, some with the second stain, some with the third stain. Then cut your plank's from those, and take the cut plank's throw them into a paper bag and shake them up........ dump them out on your bench..... pick up a plank and set it...... grab another and set it etc...etc...etc. What you end up with is color variation on all your plank's, and the deck does'nt look like one color from stem to stern.😉

    I tip my hat to you. For the fact that you are going to scale plank the hull. That's the right way to do a hull.👍

    Rabbit joint look's good.

    Gary, i think what you have on your hand's is artist block...... i read about this. i have the same problems weathering freight car's. their's something missing but you can't put your finger on it. remendy : cover up the project and don't look at it for a few day's. then when you view it you will see what's needed.

    your garboard is runing too far up the bow......... this will crowd the planks. look into more info on the garboard plank. and you will have to add drop planks where needed. but first get your garboard correct, then line it off.

    Try out rigid foam insulation board.

    Beautiful, Doris......... Just simply Beautiful.

    Try out ( sea salt ) you can find it at the grocery store, where they have the sesoning's........... the crystal's are all diferent sizes..... makes a nice effect.

  16. TOM G
    WOW ! were talking about a scratch build............. Great workmanship Gary.👍

    What ever you are going to build, start with knowledge of hull planking. Read the pdf simple hull planking for beginers. http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-framing-and-planking-articles.php

    This ship has a grand history. Sad that it is rusting away...... should have been restored. Nice to see that you are building the model.
  19. TOM G
    That's some incredible work that you did on makeing the block's........... they look real.
  20. TOM G
    She is building it by herself.
  21. TOM G
    Glad to see you back, I really marvel at your work....... it's beautiful. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
  22. TOM G
    AMEN.🙂
  23. TOM G
    In practicing, you make mistakes........ make mistakes on a full size vessel and you will sink.
  24. TOM G
    To do what you want to do, you have to be a shipwright. A model is one thing, a full size vessel is another.
  25. TOM G
    Is it a scale planking kit or a beginers planking kit ?

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.
