Hi guys I'm hoping one of you Cheerful builders could give me some advise please? I have added the rabbet strip and cut out the two stem pieces. However, their is a small gap where it meets the false keel. Is this going to be an issue? If so, how would be the best way to proceed? Should i just glue and then clamp it to shape? Also i cannot see why there were two smaller stem pieces provided. Is one used elsewhere, and if so where, please? Sorry, but my first attempt at something like this. Many thanks in advance.

Hi B.E. Must say she is looking a real beauty! Do you mind me asking why you prefer scraping rather than sanding? Apologies if you've answered this elsewhere

I hear ya! Scroll saw experience - vertually nil but willing to give it a go lol. I've priced up the wood package from Vahur at Hobbymill.EU, but undecided which way to go yet. I've also got Cheerful in my stash and just received the wood package from him (Vahur). This is more of 'in the planning' stage at the moment. I've so far: downloaded and printed plans...and er thats about it so far 😬

Hi Allan. Sorry I guess I’m not making sense. I read in a build diary that Chuck recommended 6mm lite ply be used for bulkheads and false keel. I just wondered if anyone had used the ply supplied by Cornwall Model Boats I had an idea to try making my one as the cost to import from US is very high. If I mess up THEN i can buy some from Chuck 🥺

Hi guys Has anyone this side of the pond (UK) used the 6mm lite ply from Cornwall Model Boats for their keel and bulkheads? Or, does anyone think it would be acceptable and up to the job? Here is the link: https://www.cornwallmodelboats.co.uk/acatalog/Lite-Ply-Sheet-6mm-x-600mm-P5521188.html#SID=2043 They also supply in 900mm lengths (for the false keel?). Not really much info on their website so thought i would ask. Cheers Gray

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.
