    Very nicely done my friend, the Amber Shellac will really make a difference, can't wait to see it. Your attention to details is paying off big time, the boat looks amazing.

    Planking has begun, lol Yes I reread the Linning off your hull by @Chuck in the article data base, and almost got this time. It is hard to do with out understanding math, reading better would help to , lol. But the planks are on the port side. I have some slight damage to the bow below the water line , it was done by clamps that were way to tight, it will be covered by the copper . On a positive note, my ship doesn't rattle yet lol. So on to the starboard side, one more try at getting it right . I did change the yellow, from old English ochre to Bright yellow, the first Mate says it looks better. Time will tell. I can't thank everyone enough for all the help I have been getting. With out NRG and MSW I would be lost. I am deciding on how to proceed with the copper. Some paint the hull copper below the water line, to hide caps in the copper plates, more Research is needed . They say a coat of paint covets a multitude of mistakes, I am hoping that the copper covers all of mine . It will be a week or so before I start coppering, so I have lots of time. Captain Marvin says" time to plank the starboard side, get it right this time or I am going to jump ship and join @Glen McGuire crew, where they are havin a BBQ, Beer and Burgers celebrating his fine competition of his build. So long my friends talk soon

    You know Glen, if you need to muddy the shore a bit you could use some of that cows nervousness , or Sacred Scowts Scat, because we can't use the B word lol. Just fling it over, it should stick to anything lol. Did you know Christopher Columbus brought the start of the Texas Long Horn cattle when he came to America the second time in 1493? Who knew , Spanish Longhorns . Lol. Your work is so amazing my friend.

    Well done!! Here I thought your next post would be a Diorama with one of the clamps with a robe walking on the water. Lol Great job my friend, throw a coat of amber shellac on it , it will shine. I think you're having way more fun then I did, lol but that's what it's all about. Great job, thanks for posting, the First Mate wants to know which one is Jesus.

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.
