    Greetings, I found the Planking your Model article in ModelShipBuilding.com. It gave me another piece I was puzzled about, the Spiling Strip. I have read about that and not understood. The little diagram use there made it clear. Thanks.

    Greetings, I am building my first Intermediate level ship by Constructor, the Albatros. The hull is mahogany planking. I have been thinking about the shaping of the planks. The book says to "moisten them slightly, run them over a 35 watt electric soldering iron.." This seems totally inadequate to bend and form mahogany. I was thinking I may need to steam heat them for a few minutes to make them pliable so not to break when shaping to the hull frame. What experience and suggestions do you guys have with this? Ray

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.
