    Thank you Jaager and Allanyed for the tips regarding using branches, but I feel that the project already will throw me in the deep end of the pool. Using #4 but turning it 45 degrees sounds like the best solution. Thank you!

    Hello all, I'm planning a scratch build and found this forum with lots of resources to be inspired by. Does anyone have any ideas for the part I'm thinking about now? The vessel is a small cog of 11 meters in scale 1:20 and it has the typical hooks in the stem and stern. How would you construct them? They were in the original built like knees cut from crooked limbs but that will be hard to do in scale. But I still want the grain to follow the shape. I see four alternatives. 1. To bend a plank. The plank would need to be wide and this sounds hard. 2. Two planks with a join strengthened with treenails. 3. Two layers laminated together. It would be strong, but the layering would be visible. 4. Cut from a big plank. Bad grain direction. I feel that number two would be the best option. The dashed lines shows the grain direction. The largest one is about 50mm long and 7mm wide. How would you do?

    It looks really good! And thank you especially for also posting the failed attempts, they help me a lot as I'm planning my own scratch build.

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.
