    Ship ahoy. I glued the center plank first, need more research on the web, watching pictures and youtube. To get a idea of the layout. No need to be 100% My boat will have around 48 deck planking, the original colin archer have 45. Two evenings work made 5 of 48. I hope the idea of permanent marker on the edge of wood planking looks good then finished 😉

    Startet with som pictures of RS1, discovered that drawing wasn't correct according to deck- beam ? new black lines with permanent marker where it must be acc to the designer drawing. New layout on planking. Permanent marker on edge of planking, to ilustrate caulking.

    My next question is making the deck planking including 0,6mm caulking1:15(8-9mm), deck layouts is important when planking. The outer dollbord is oak i think. Have to collect som information before installing reiling? I think its nice to finish the deck including outboard Dollbord, sanded and some oak/ mahagoni stain where needed. Outboard dollbord glued on, it was a bit difficult, but after some test fit, its installed 🙂 Happy easter from Norway

    Upper side beam in ply was to stiff to bend. some hot water and soldering iron to make a curved beam work well. Video: how to bend wood and plywood. You can practice on som leftover from earlyer builds. Glue: Stabilit Exspress (PS hull to wood) IMG_9244.mov

    A bit tricky to glue aft and front plywood to the PS hull. Strapping tape made my day. Next time i will preinstall the tape on the hull, not on the ply( glue then get dragged outboard on the hull) I do that on the bow, the stern get nicer, the tape was applied to the hull first. 🙂

    Thanks, Will be sailing. i hopefully finishing next year. 2020 hull work, 2021 rigg and remote control. In my house i start planing for storing fully rigged and easy access to bring the boat to the water 🙂 Cross my fingers. Then doing som house rehab, the time is 3 times my planned. Have made some internet search for the kit. haven't found to much, so now i will bring it on the net 🙂 brgds Andreas

    Brass tube with fittings to be installed. The boat will be used in saltwater. fitting is to be inserted in the tube with some pressure. Is it clever to just add some thread locker, or glue?

    Started building a old Billing Boats kit. PS hull was told to be the last kit, they started a new production in wood some years later, available today. some tip about glue will be asked for 🙂

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.
