    So I couldn't wait for the new kit to come in picked up a piece of basswood and made a new side. My question is is basswood as strong as teak? At least I think it's teak.

    Hit my first whoops Glued the transom in upside down. Finishing it that way would have made it a submarine. The yellow clamp in the picture ended up on the bottom instead of the top. Instead of looking at the angle of the front of the side piece I was trying to put the straight edge on the bottom. Was able to remove the transom and flip it. I hope this whole boat doesn't go this way.😟 I also tried to take one side off the stem thinking it was also upside down, which it wasn't, splintering the teak wood side before I realized it was on right. What threw me a curve was in reading the instructions all the way at one point you sand the bottom flat and the only straight edge on the sides is the longer one by putting that on the bottom it made the stem a dive plan. I think I try to read to much into things. So I ordered a new kit.

    First gluing. Still not sure how long it's needed for the Elmer's Wood glue to dry before unclamping?

    Leo does an excellent job explaining sails and rigging for small boats in episode 90 of Tally-ho. I really enjoyed his explanation. The Rig & Sailplan (Rebuilding Tally Ho / EP90)

    I have started a model log for the snipe Dumas "Snipe" and have already put it on hold (haven't gotten the kit yet) and ordered Dumas beginner sail boat when I get that in I'll start a log on it. One other thing I forgot to mention is I've build a couple WW1 planes Balsa wood, tissue and dope construction.

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.
