    Thanks Cathead I will crack on with the PVA.

    Thank you, I hope I can do the ship justice. I am having so much fun I am already debating about making a scratch built frigate of the same scale.

    Started sanding, really happy with the results so far. Tested the forepeak and it was a nice snug fit ☺️ Need to sand the second half down then on to the vaneer. I am wondering how to glue it, some seem to prefer Superglue others PVA.

    I would avoid using the deck planks for this they will be too thin for the task, the 2mm planking would be best.
  16. Krupi
    I had a similar idea however I like the additional strength that the pins provide.
  17. Krupi
    Thank you Chimp There are a one or two areas that are on the limit of even for 2mm. I will just have to layer up these areas with more strips. Unfortunately I am going to have to sand down the nails first, I am not bothered about this though.

    Making a bit of progress on the planking, the steps are a bit bigger than I had hoped, but it I am pleased with the progress so far.

    I have a quick question, is there a recommended brand of Sand and Sealer. I have Tung Oil, but it looks like this would not be advisable to use prior to painting. So I plan on using a Sanding Sealer on the hull, painting and finally a finishing coat of Tung Oil. I plan on using the Tung Oil on the dyed pieces as well. Please let me know if this could cause me problems.

    Hi Chimp, I have been following your build log as well, looking great
  25. Krupi
    Thank you, trying to slow down and be a bit more patient.

    I have now started on the internal planking of the gunwales however I don't much like Occre's method of lining them without split at 5mm widths. I am going to split the 5mm in half and I am looking for a reference for the lengths of planks used here, I assume a similar pattern was used here to avoid a weak point. If I can't find anything definitive I might opt for 60mm lengths as per the decking, any advice would be much appreciated.

    Have made some progress on the hull. After reading up on decking colour I decided to give mine a bit of a greyish tint, the comparison picture unfortunately don't do it justice. After this I started on the gunwale, unfortunately I was a bit heavy handed with the starboard one and managed to snap it during adjustment. Fortunately the portside went on without a hitch.
  28. Krupi
    Will I now run into problems gluing parts to the deck?
  29. Krupi
    Thanks Bob, Not rude at all, I need all the help I can get. I have done the deck and decided to use the Tung Oil after checking the results on a test piece. I am happy with the results, just need to rub it down and apply the final coat. I plan on copper plating the hull, however from what you chaps have said I should avoid using the Tung Oil prior to painting so I will need to get a sand sealer for the hull prior to painting, this will give a better surface for the paint?

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.
