    Hi there, Welcome to my building log. Resumed the building this year and wanted to share some of learnings. More pictures than words:) This is my first build and i have obtained plenty of useful information from this forum. 1. Align frames straight and sand them properly and smoothly which will make much easier for planking 2. Use the first layer of planking as practice. Measure the gap and do some math. In short, the middle is much wider than the front and end. There are several videos in YouTube that i found helpful for planking. i would suggest to finish one plank in the center and start from the bottom 3. Mark the position of the gunport. Cut the gunport after the first layer of planking is completed (this is different from the manual) 4. Spend more time on the second layer of planking and try to avoid small gaps between planks. if you do have gaps you can use wood fill or scratch wood to fill it in 5. Buy different grades of sand papers, sand blocks, pins, clamps, super glue gel (better than liquid), knife blades, stains, etc. It may take a bit longer for the next update. Cheers, F

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.
