Hello to all! The build continues.. Have got all the bulkheads glued in place. Appears to be nice and straight.. Test fit of the lower deck.. The lower deck also has a second piece in the stern. I decided to plank this as well, but there is a lasercut notch that I don't quite understand.. Looking at the plan, this notch is not there.. 🤔 When looking further in the instructions there does'nt seem to be a need for this notch.. So I decided to fill it and plank over

Hello all! Another update as the work on Lynx progresses. When dryfitting bulkheads, I realised all of them are riding a bit low in the keel. I fixed this by glueing a piece of wood in the notch to make the bulkheads ride flush with the top of the keel. Then I started glueing the bulkheads in place. Bulkead number one glued inplace.. Upon dryfitting I also found out that the front end of the lower deck did not fit in the notch of bulkhead number 2. I decided t

Ccoyle, I was looking through the buildlogs and there seems to be a few ongoing builds, but a long time since they have been updated. I’m also curious to how it turns out! 😆 The instructions and plans aren’t the greatest, so I will probably need to study pictures and other references to figure things out. Gaffrig.

Hello all! Here we go again! After finishing Le Renard, I have decided to start the build of Panart's kit of the Lynx. I really like the lines of this ship with it's huge rig and raked masts. I will be continuing my Bluenose build, but have found out that I like to have two (or more?) projects at different stages going at the same time. This will be my first model with double planking, so we'll see how that goes! So here is a few photos of the box and it's contents. The quality of the lasercuts look great, with no burn marks, and no warping.

Hello. Ok, no problem. I understand your point. I think I have fixed it now though! Gaffrig. -

Hello. I have a feeling this message i directed to (amongst others) me.. I appologize if I have done wrong, an will try to rectify it as soon as possible! In the menu for creating new topic in gallery there was three options. I realise I should have chosen the «create new album» option, but there was nothing there to inform that «loose» images was wrong. Gaffrig. -

You are correct. When tacking or gybing a schooner like the one in your plan, they had to loosen the downhaul, while someone aloft hauled the topsail over the stay and peak halyard. They had a downhaul on both sides, so once the sail was lifted over, the other downhaul was tightened. hope this claryfies a little! Gaffrig.

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.
