    Yeah paper mache will definitely be helpful in some places Today I just used Pva glue with the paper You know just experimenting things But I I believe adding paper Mache to the mix will make it easier to reach some spots in the hull Thanks 🙏

    Did some progress I technically finished placing the hull I still have to think about how I'm going to make the front of the ship looks like the flying dutchman 👌 My initial plan was to add layers upon layers of white 21×27 paper But I just settled by adding one layer and I'm going to use the cardboard like planks I believe this way I can decorate the outside of the hull as I want since the pieces aren't that big

    i'm thinking to make a smaller layer on top of the last paper layer with (Home made clay) but it's risky if it dried taking a bad shape

    oh okay , and yeah i agree about getting the hull in the right place from the start but working with cardboard it's little bit hard to do so
  21. AB-ROYCE
    i will test it out in a small cardboard sheet and see the result before applying it, i aslo found multiple recipes for other things but i'm not sure which one i should use, i think i just need to test out things and see what works best thanks

  23. AB-ROYCE
    thanks, me too hahah i've been following this build as well it looks awesome but unfortunately it's not available where i live

    I'm building the flying dutchman using cardboard I already finished the frame and bulkheads placing I'm now working on the hull and I'm still not sure what to do next I just cut a large piece of cardboard and placed it horizontally (like shown in the picture) and I'm planning to add lot of layers of white paper and smooth to give it a nice look So I've been searching in and outside this forum about cardboard builds to get ideas and every time I see them using something putty looking I wonder what it is ? Is it just Pva glue ? If it's something else what's it's name and if there's a way for it to be homemade ? Also if you know any trick or techniques working with cardboard please share with me hahaha A lot of questions 😭😂
  25. AB-ROYCE
    Almost done with the right side They looks awful now hahah but I'll add many layers of white papers so I'm assuming it's going to hide every bad looking spots The holes are meant for canons But with the last three I decided to make holes later when cardboard is dry just to line them perfectly because I kinda messed up with the first ones cause I cut the cardboard before placing it And since it's my first time working with cardboard Whenever I'm drawing or measuring everything makes sense but when I put the glue and place it on the frame everything goes wrong hahahah

    Nice build man Inspirational 😁

    I also made a simple test by creating this back cover I scratched the cardboard from the inside to make it bend and follow the bulkhead shape I'm thinking to do the same on every place on the side
  29. AB-ROYCE
    Day 2 progress : - After the bulkheads were dry and kinda solid I created small squares between them I believe by doing this I'm going to make the core solid more And I'm going to use them later to put cannons from the inside of the ship since it's empty from the the inside

    Thanks hopefully I'll pass all the obstacles hahaha Welcome 😁

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.
