From the research I'm doing for my next build I understand these rounded counter ended-sterns were among the hardest to frame - even the old shipwrights needed 'proper' plans. Looks to me like the stern post was measured to the sheer line not the deck line. The plans I'm working up didn't include a deck line, so it's a 'gotcha' you have helped me prevent down the line. It's an ill wind etc. Hope you feel better soon, and the therapy of reshaping a beam will help, I'm sure!

Had to find 'Altair' to see what this was about... now I have another wonderful build log to read through. Tremendous.

Have you considered the compromise of lowering the floor? I recently agreed to this in order to get my renovation plan for the kithcen passed by the chair of the planning committee. Needs must, you know.

Great Job Keith's Missus. I think she may have the basis for a lucrative business there! The rest of the boat ain't bad either! Very nice joint effort!

Thanks you Vareriy for sharing this with us. I look forward to your next build, and of course wish you a safe and peaceful New Year.

You just fractured the bah humbug thing I've been saving up for Christmas. Santa will probably sail it awaile before he delivers it. Just perfect.

What you have built there will last, and be wondered at, for generations. I hope the peace that will surely come one day will do too.

Me too. The remarkable thing is that as they grow up we get younger. Strange that. Great Picture Tom; you could almost field a football team there!

Good to see the loose ends tied up. Will you be ready for the grand reveal by Christmas?

The tension as you sprint for the line is showing (literally) in some very neat rigging. Looking forward to seeing it all come together.

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.
