    I have an Amati gondola in progress, it is an ongoing adventure. I also purchased a Gilberto Penzo gondola that I’m looking forward to. I think the Penzo gondola will be a lot easier to assemble.

    I’m still not moving forward. I’m in a bit of despair. I still cannot fit the bow and stern can’t frames to fit. I just joined jup with the South Bay Model Shipwrights. I’ll take the kit with me to the next meeting on the 13th. Hope to get back on track. I haven’t given up yet, but I’m disappointed with the way things,are going at the moment.

    I’m still wrestling with the cant frames. It’s slow going. It’s all put there together, take them apart, rinse and repeat. I’m learning as I go, which is a good thing since my order for the osberg ship is in the mail. The lessons I have learnt should make that assembly much easier. I also have been cleaning up a pair of Altec lancing voice of the theater speakers. Much more forgiving.

    The can’t frames are still giving me grief. I’m thinking about dismantling the frames and sticking them into the jig and touching them with a little CA.

    A little progress made. A couple of frames are still in the clinic.

    The replacement parts are looking good. there will be a bunch of thickness sanding to do. The clearances are tight. I noticed it on the jig and now I’m seeing it on the frames To the jig.
  24. JerryC
    Ok, I’m back on track!

    My replacement parts for the shallop arrived today. Time to get my nose down to the grindstone again. The break gave me some time to move forward with the clay Feldman/lumberyard Lexington.
  26. JerryC
    That sounds like different colors to me!

    Personally, I like treenails. I have a set of vanda lay treenail making tools and have spent many hours making sawdust while producing a bunch of treenails. I used a bunch on the hull planking of the mantua Trotamares, which I then painted. Can’t see them, but I know they are there.

    If you’re looking for a kit to bash to create the ship in the photo, this might be of interest:

    While waiting for frame parts, I’m assembling some other stuff. I’m getting the hang of it. There are a lot of subtle locating notches that require attentionI had disassemble this one twice i was aligning the pieces at the top and losing the notches.this one needed to be fixed three timesthis one still needs to be cleaned up and the hoops blackened and fastened. I think I’ll have to go and get some CA for that. I don’t think PVA is appropriate and epoxy would be too messy. I’m thinking of draining it walnut, only because I have a can of it sitting around.

    I just posted about a planking problem and stuck it in the books, monographs topic is there a way for me to move it?

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.
