    I've started tree nailing with one side done except for sanding. I have opted for using wood for the tree nails over filler.

    Thank you sir

    Bullwarks planked and lightly sanded on one side and half way done on the other. I will never use Bass wood for planking again. I think it it way too soft to cut out those small ports and get a clean line.
  14. Gremreeper1967
    I started planking, and it is very tedious at this point. I'm sure the other side will look better around the ports as figure it better ways of making the notched out areas cleaner.

    Walrusguy, thank you that helps a lot

    WalrusGuy, thank you.

    Thanks overworked724! That's going to be a very tight bend in that area.

    Need a bit of advise on the filler pieces below the counter. I made them a bit wider and am unsure of the fairing. Any opinions?
  19. Gremreeper1967
    Thank you Overworked724. I really took my time this time.

    Almost ready to start chapter five. There were some issues in chapter four that was caught and brought to my attention by another member. All of the sills, lentils, and ports had to be redone due to not reading the instructions carefully.
  21. Gremreeper1967
    Repairs under way for my over zealous sanding. Trying one side to see how it works.
  22. Gremreeper1967
    Repairs underway, I thought I would try one side first then move on if it does. I hope this works.
  23. Gremreeper1967
    Jaager, thanks for the response. I was considering scabbing the outside before any more sanding. I just needed to hear someone else mention it; I have the perfect size strips to use ready to roll. Again, thank you

    I am building the US Brig Syren and according to Chuck's plans the bullwarks are supposed to be 1/8" in top and 5/32" at the deck when all of the ports are framed. I however have gone a bit to far, I am a 1/16" to thin and still have a bit of framing and sanding to do. My question is, do I add to the bullwarks and then finish at the 1/8 and 5/32 or sand my framing down to the 1/16"?
  25. Gremreeper1967
    I have most of the gun port framing done. I made a bit of an error though. I have the bullwarks on one side sanded 1/16 to thin. Should I add to them to bring the thickness back to 1/8?

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.
