    Granted, Steve, this model is completed and is a great looking model! Thank you for all the great photos and explanations of how you planked your ship. It is helping answering questions in my mind on how to do the planking. In particular, how to shape the planks, how to attach them to the stem and stern posts, and how to ‘fair’ them before glueing to the stem and stern posts. Your method of using slivers of wood to fill in gaps is a good piece of advice. I am working at redoing my frame plans; double and triple checking measurements, reducing the thickness and breadth of frame, the stem post, keel, and stern post, and making templates for making sure the frames are true when attaching to the keel and posts. Keep up the great work! Mark

    Steve, Thank you for the suggestions and helpful hints, especially about keeping at it if the first attempts don’t turn out correctly. Starting with the faces is good advice. Glad I asked. I have a set of mini gouges and chisels, probably for this kind of work. Your suggestions about a scalpel and a craft knife sounds good. My dad left me three of this Exacto knife sets. They should have some fine blades. Considering the scale I am using, 1:96, a finer blade might be required. As a couple craftsmen and craftswomen over the years have advised, if you don’t have the right tool, make it for yourself. 🤩 Finding a craft knife should be easy to find around here. Finding a scalpel might be a little more challenging. Hmm, I do know a couple doctors and nurses. 🤔 Mark

    Do you carve them using carving tools or using a Dremel-type tool? What suggestions do you have for beginners in this area? Keep up the good work! Mark

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.
