    I finished on side of the forecastle cap rail. It was not without its problems, all self inflicted. I was not exact in fairing the bow. The curve at the bow was slightly different. I did not see that until I tried to place the cap rail on. The laser cut piece did not fit the curve. To cure that I had to cut the rail in two places to match the curve. It is not perfect but I did the best I could. The opposite side will be much easier because it matches the curve of the laser cut pieces. Thank goodness.

    The forecastle planking is completed, the Belfry installed, catheads installed, the hatch covers completed and some of the cap rails installed.
  23. woodartist
    Great idea to use the tape to reduce splitting
  24. woodartist
    Planking of forecastle and qdeck and using scarf joints. I found that I often split the plank when trying to make the scarf. Once I started making a v cut I prevented the tendency to split the planks. I will finish the center sections when I have finished the carlings.
  25. woodartist
    thanks, it is coming along nicely!
  26. woodartist
    I looks like the inset where a light is to be located from the pictures of the boat?
  27. woodartist
    I can not tell from the picture if there is a rabbit on the bow and stern where the planks meet the keel.
  28. woodartist
    What do the color changes on the strips signify? Why do the lines on the strips run in different directions?
  29. woodartist
    It is not exactly like Chuck's, but I tried to keep the style the same.
  30. woodartist
    Yes I only have one hand that I can use. yes i only have one had that I can use, and it is my left which was not my primary hand, I had to learn to do everything with my left hand.

  32. woodartist
    I learned more about planking from Der Alte Rentner log on planking than i did any place else.
  33. woodartist
    The cap rails and the bulwarks are installed. Just starting on planking the qdeck.
  34. woodartist
    This looks really clean and will pay big dividends later.
  35. woodartist started following scrubbyj427
  36. woodartist
    The carlings are completed fore and aft and the trim on fore beam added.
  37. woodartist
    Chapter 8 almost finished. I have to add molding to final beam and stain beam tops to match those completed in Chapter seven.

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.
