hi jbcallender, for second layer i'm using the same wood glue, it needs more time to fix it but you can move & adjust the position a few seconds. I use a spare piece of wood to leave a very thin layer of glue in the plank and avoid spare glue, because the spare glue can damage and stain the wood. My problem with the second layer is the planks cannot admit a minimal deviation from his own natural curvature, so if you wants to fix in a non natural bend they are leaving gaps between it; this problem is in the bow and the stern where the planks must to be forced to accomodate the curvature of the hull. My recommendation is to test each plank in the hull and fix it avoiding gaps if it's possible, because you'll not have a lot of wood to sand later. sorry for my english language, each day is worse hehehe regards,

hi nr.mihau, the reason is that Terror ship from Occre has two kits: one of this complete with sails and another one cheaper without sails. My kit was buyed in pandemy so only the cheaper was in stock 🙂 Anyway, in the drawings are pictured the sails so you can make it easily. My first model was made with sails and the second (Terror), without it. And i prefer it without sails, frankly! we can see all job in the mast and all the ridging. regards, i'll search your thread to see your improvements! 🤩

Hi all, i've finished the Terror kit some days ago! a loooot of time for it, sometimes stopped for external issues (family, job, courses), sometimes has been about to fly through the window hahaha. I've put the model in a cabinet in the dining room (advantages to be a single: i can use the cabinet for something i want, and the expensive ebike is stored in the dining room too, saved from thiefs). you can see that the details are not very very good, but for me the most important is to disconnect from problems and anxiety, so the final result is good enough; and the people are not expert so they're exclaming "hooooohhh" when they watch the model 😅 . I'm starting other kit at this moment, the Xebeq from AMATI; i'll start other post for it. thanks a lot to Clearway and Obviousnewey and more kind people for your comments & ideas, you're great!! it's a pleasure to upload pictures with an audience like you 😍, and your comments helps a lot.

hi all and good afternoon, some more pictures. i'm making all the lines from the mast to the deck, for it i'm using a mix of black paint and wood glue (one drop of it), and for me the result is enough hehehe. I tried to make nuts in each intersection but i don't have enough patience for it and the results was veeery bad, so this method is more quickly and ease! some more pictures with the googles i'm using to see the details, chinese from Amazon, and the wax i'm using for all wires. I added the spare lifeboats, i hope you'll like it, i remember some pictures from the film with the lifeboats in a near position... i added the cannons, a very particular interpretation about size and fixation hahaha. regards!!!

ooohhh sorry Clearway, it's very sad to lose our fathers... my mom was 84 years old, we all know that one or other day will be the final day, but when the day is gone it's very hard. As we says in Spain, hope they'll wait for us a lot of time! Kind regards and keep building! we'll see here soon 😄

thanks a lot clearway!! you know, your Terror pictures are an encyclopedia for me!! i'll try to steal you a lot of details hahahaha 😅. About my situation, my mom died last May and at this moment i need to go the weekend to take care of my dad who's living alone in the village, so no time for hobbies, but i'll try at least to finish the Terror. Ahhh another problem no money neither, i'm spending 50eur only in fuel each weekend to go to the village, what a mess!! 😡 😡 i'm seeing the pics of your new ship, the stern is sooo sexy!! well done!! 😄 regards, F.

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.
