    I'm continuing with planking, it's going very slowly - so far I have about two-fifths of the hull done, including nailing. And although I was as careful as possible when manipulating the hull, I managed to break off part of the stem. Fortunately, it is only in the glued joint, so the repair will not be difficult.

    Thank you albert. I started planking the hull under wales. But I soon found out that in order to finish gluing the planks in the stern area, it is necessary to glue the planks on the stern first.

    Nailing wales.
  4. marsalv
    Thank you scrubyj427, the black wood is blackhornbeam, not ebony. Black hornbeam is a bit easier to work with than ebony . Installation of wales completed.
  5. marsalv
    I proceed by installing wales. I decided to glue the upper wale first - using a "guide" strip. Wale is connected using a scraph joint and the one in the front part is directly in the bend, which significantly complicated the accuracy of connection and gluing.

    Thank you No Idea. Completed stern construction.
  7. marsalv
    Now came one of the more complicated parts.
  8. marsalv
    Thank you No Idea. I started to complete the stern.

    I finally finished the internal planking to the deck clamp level.
  10. marsalv
    I started planking over the thick- stuff.

    My posts have gotten me to the stage where the actual model building phase is, so now my posts won't be as frequent . The first part of the inner planking (the ceiling) is finished, including the limber boards.

    Thank you guys for all likes and nice comments. It's time for inside planking. The spirketting, which is made of two thicker planks, was installed first. These planks are slightly recessed below the level of the frames.
  13. marsalv
    Thanky you Applying the deck clamp strengthened the hull so I could complete the limber-passage.
  14. marsalv
    Gluing deck clamp, making temporary deck beams to check the location.
  15. marsalv
    Deck clamp preparation.
  16. marsalv
    Added keelson. This completes the basic hull skeleton.
  17. marsalv
    Hull sanding completed.
  18. marsalv
    Thank you. Filling pieces.
  19. marsalv
    All the frames are in place, it's time to make the mounts for the stand screws. After gluing the keelson will not be visible.
  20. marsalv
    To contrecerf: In fact, these are square holes - limber-passage - see picture.
  21. marsalv
    To Hubac´s Historian: Thank you for nice comment, but be careful, we're just at the beginning (that was a joke ). The most beveled frames are done, the frames in the middle part don't have as much beveling anymore so it went a little faster.
  22. marsalv
    I decided to finish and fit the frames in the front and back of the model first - these frames require more beveling and I want to get this done as soon as possible.
  23. marsalv
    Frames on the stern.
  24. marsalv
    Making the hawse holes at this stage was a mistake, so I blinded them with a wooden plug and will drill them again after the planking.
  25. marsalv
    I continue to complete the bow.

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.
