    Hi DrK, I am building a different model, but to me the most useful tool was a broomstick piece with sanding paper glued around it. It worked perfekt in the stern/deadwood area. It's also quite inexpensive. And in the days of vacuum cleaners, who needs a broom... 😉

    First Planking is coming to an end. Now it's sanding time. I decided to actually take some time to do that. Everyday a little bit, not too much at a time... Made the boards for the hatch. Took the bigger rings by intuition. Now I am wondering if I should redo them with the intended smaller rings. What do you think? Apart from that I think that using silver soldering paste to close the rings and eyebolts before blackening them is pretty effective to make them feel in scale.

    Hi, I'm beginning to build the HMS Endeavour from OcCre. Here is an index to the different stages of the build: • First planking finished • Issues encountered during the first steps 🙄 Foredeck flipped 🤫 using PVA for deck planking 🤔 When to prepare the hole for the rudder? • Transom issues • Redoing Hatch Boards • Ladder Test • Main Wales After preparing the bulkheads, the decks were planked. I tried the toothpick method for the trenails. Here ist my Progress so far: Fitting the decks to the framework: Meanwhile preparing the Lifeboat, which was actually quite challenging for me because I was trying to let all the planks run from stern to bow. Didn't work out perfect, but the finished thing still looks ok... Beginning of the first planking using paper strips for each bulkhead and planking fans to try and plan the tapering. Also using Chucks planking method. After a little learning curve, it worked quite well for me.

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.
