    Thank you all for your great thoughts and ideas 🙂 Pinning/nailing the railing may be better if the surface was flat, but with the ships curvature, I think scarphing sounds like a better solution - I'll prep some drawings off the plans. Thanks Allan for the offer of a build log - that sounds like a great idea too . . . . . mind you, I started this ship about 25 years ago and recommenced it's build in Jan 2020 with a commitment to finish it this year.

    Hi All, I have posted this in a facebook group and received a few replies. However, I am after a few more ideas/suggestions. I have to bend a cross-grain thick-ish plank as the top rail of the ships bulwark - it also needs to be bent to meet the ships natural curvature from bow to stern (so it needs to be bent across 2 axis) Suggestions I've received include: 1) use a steam box (I'd have to build/design one first) 2) Won't be able to bend it so cut/join the plank so it fits Does anyone else have any ideas - pics below

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.
