    Looking more like a boat. Framework cut off and considering a rustic shelf to set it on when complete, the specifics are still in play. Wood for shelf found at my favorite supplier 😉 Side note: Of my hammer selection my Collins Legitimus is my favorite to clean nails out

    Well done Sir. I enjoyed looking through your build log. Very nice work.

    Plenty of mistakes goin on here but I'm moving forward with her. I have some gaps present, I'll cheat and hide those best I can. Bout have her planked up though. She's probably looking more like a "boat wreck" than a boat 😅

    I'm going to be treating myself to some calipers and right-angle gauges for the holidays. I'd be interested in seeing any and all measuring devices you guys use. Whether it be for measuring thickness, depth, or angles. Thanks, 👍

    Strong work on the build,..I plan to stain my base as well. Well done Sir.
  24. aaronc
    Thanks, that was my goal,...we'll see what happens.

    I went with some strips of basswood, filled in spaces in between and then sanded smooth for repair on the plank. Stern knee bevel filed,..then finished with sandpaper..and we're glued to the frame. Thats it for today....may look into the oars later tonight.

    A little repair update...I'm still gonna piddle with some sort of patch for the plank...I don't think the joint will hold for any length of time when mounted to the frame.

    They've been adopted, I wish them well.
  28. aaronc
    Not sure if the plank repair will hold,..may have to reinforce that a little somehow hidden best I can on the inside of the boat...We'll see what happens.

    Been a bit delayed in progress. Had a little lightning strike a few weeks back and was busy lining out repairs here around the house. No real damage but it takes up time meeting with the contractors. So my wife adopted a stray cat not long ago...I have no problem with that but she then turned into 4 more cats 😏 long story short they had some time in my shop unsupervised and did some chewing on my Dory. Finally had time this evening to begin repairs. I'll fill in and sand out seams next week and we'll hopefully be back on track. Good news is I did score a Dory book for fathers day,...it's a keeper 👍 BTW the lightning strike holes are 24 and 30 inches deep respectively.

    Not sure what that is...lobster trap? Or something else..but it looks great. I've noticed several making their own "extras" to accompany their Dory builds.

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.
