    Hi, I am new to all this, and this is my first one. I have started the assembly before I come across this group. So I have lots of questions. 1. The materials I received has 3 sets of strakes. The 1st set call "1st planking strakes is named "samba", with a dimension of 1.5x5x500, the 2nd set is "Hull 2nd planking vaneers, and is walnut color with a dimension of 0.6x5x500, the 3rd set is for the main deck planking of Mukali color (like Plywood color), with a dimension of 0.6x5x500. The Samba materials seems to be much thinner than 1.5, and I am not sure if I should use it for the 1st planking, as I see for other all builds, it seems Mukali is used, instead of this Samba. 2. I already glue the deck to the frames, and discovered my deck is not straight, i.e. sink a bit in the middle. Do I need to add addition materials to even it out first before I do the planking? Please comments, thanks.

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.
