Hi Ben, do`nt worry , that warp can be settled quite easily....., and without harming or effecting your deck This is how I would do it: (ref. to the hand scetch included...) two variations possible... first way, in the upper scetch you would need to remove slight vertical bits of the bulkheads on the concave side, with naked saw blade or so.. Then cut (through the wood horizontally with small circular sawblade (Dremel or so) into the keel. Now you have way to correct the outer keel into the correct position. In case you would have sanded away already too much bulkheads profile, buffer up the surface there with small stripes. The keel width remains the same width over the length second way. Cut away thin vertical slots next to the keel on the concave side and insert a horizontal (tapered to the ends) stripe of fill-wood next to the keel, in order to compensate the concave area. Do`nt worry about the keel getting a bit thicker there. If necessary, buffer up the bulkheads to get good symmetric straking over the boat`s length Hope this is understanable... (click on pic to enlarge) Cheers, Nils sorry, my scaner is not working, so a photo pic must do

Hi Gonzzo, a very nice schooner you have there..... just a question.... the last pic of your post #22 shows a "warp" in your keel, perhaps it`s only the perspective of the Photo, but if a warp, please try and and mend that at this stage, before the planking goes on..., it`s worth the effort.. Nils

Thank you Michael, I wo`nt do all the vents right now, but later on as they come, when the the places for their mounting get ready. The first lot was just an upfront sample set (all possible sizes) to see if the intended cowls and tubes go together and if they match accordingly. I made a sample of the smallest vent typ today, and started to put some triangle supports to the breakwater-halfs, before fixing them in place. They will have to be fiddled in through the forecastle railing Nils

Hi Greg, thank you so much for your appreciative words, I saw that you viewed the complete log to date and am happy that you had pleasure in doing so..... This is quite a challenging build as there are no detail plans available, so many ideas come to me as the sequences have their turn to be done. There will be lots of details to be planed, designed and arranged. relating to the intensive superstructure of this ship. If I have an idea up my sleeve, I have to do a trial straight away on it to a certain degree in order to get my mind working on it, even if its not the turn yet. (like with vents, lifeboats, etc....), and keep eyes open to implement any improvements. Wish you further much fun in viewing, stay tuned... Nils

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.
