    The deck has been planked, lined, lacquered with 3 coats and glued to the frame.

    Finally getting started on my Palamos. This is my first ship and I'm excited but I know I have a huge learning curve. Since I am new to this hobby, tips and suggestions will be greatly appreciated and no tip is trivial or unimportant. I have completed the basic hull structure. The next step is to glue the deck planking onto the deck. Based on feedback I have received I will be using Titebond II which I will apply with a brush. I will rub pencil lead on the edges of the plank before gluing to get the realistic look.

    I have been building other simple models and decided it was time to pursue a life long dream of building a realistic ship model. My ultimate goal is to build a large ship with multiple masts and extensive rigging but I knew it was wise to start off simple so I have the Palamos Spanish Fishing Boat on order from Premier Ship Models. Even though I have a lot to learn and skills to develop, I'm excited to finally pursue this dream. The boat won't be here for a couple of weeks but I am very open to any advice or mentor suggestions. I'm really looking forward to this journey and making friends along the way. Pat

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.
