    Gun port frames painted, couldn’t find the plastic that was supposed to be included in the kit for the two windows so had to improvise with some from the packaging.

    A month on from the last update and the hull planking is finished.

    This weeks progress, hull filled and sanded ready for the outer planking.
  18. Daveruss
    Latest update, hull has now been fully planked o time to get it prepared for the next planks. Nothing overly tricky with this stage stern planking went well bow could have gone better but I’m pleased so far.
  19. Daveruss
    Planking going reasonably well so far with no issues. Down eight planks each side and now need to start tapering the new plank ends as it says in the instructions.

    As of Today this is the current build situation. Cabin area and steering went together quite well as did the poop deck. Only alteration and real work required was to the frames where the stern board fits. The edges need to be cut /trimmed at an angle so that it is possible to glue the board in place. Elastic bands did their job and it’s all good. Next phase is to plank the inside of the stern board Then make a start on the first layer of hull planking.

    Project is coming along with no major issues so far. Great care and strong clamps are required when bending the dummy gun decks at the bow. Take your time and be gentle with the pressure or you will crack or break them. I managed to get away with just a slight crack in one. One thing I certainly didn’t expect with this kit is that all the main decks are now pre planked. Planking wood is supplied but not really required. The decks look OK to me and it would seem pointless to lay new decking on top. One more update To follow them I’m up to speed with the current build pro

    The supplied manual in several languages appeared a little vague so I downloaded and printed the English instructions from the Mantua web site which were better but you still need the original booklet as it has photos that the downloaded version doesn’t have and visa versa. First steps went well all parts fitted OK if just a little tight, instructions were adequate.

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.
