    I won't loose any sleep over it Perhaps theSlots dictate the rake. Thanks!

    o Ok, thanks.

    It is really hard to determine. It appears that there is a slight rake on the plans. My rake may be slightly more. Hard to tell. If I am off, will it affect the placement of the ratlines?

    I am building my first model, so I'm new to this. I chose OcCre HMS Terror. Tough project for a beginner, but I am a retired cabinet and furniture maker, so I am acquainted with detail. Maybe too much My question is are the masts supposed to be perpendicular to the deck? Mine turned out to be leaning slightly astern.

    Thanks Dean. I did find the tutorial. The instruction sheet has a QR thingy up in the corner.

    Thanks James. It is as I suspected. I didn't want to ruin my project so early in the construction.

    "Terror". I know that I should have started with novice kit, but I build furniture reproductions and I thought I could handle this!

    I am new to model ship building. I purchased a kit from OcCre. The planking comes in two sizes and I can't distinguish which is for the deck and which is for the hull. Does the thin planking go on the deck? I mean the unfinished planking. Obviously the finished planking is for the hull.

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.
