    Well, first planking is finished, as well as the decks. In my haste to get her done, I forgot to cut my decking planks to size, I used a 80 cm , 40 cm butt shift pattern . So I just penciled in the joints and nail holes on the poop deck. It will do lol. It is a small ship, so by the time you get all the deck furniture on, there's little deck left to see. I noticiced that on my Pinta. The plans said start mid ship with the planks, so that's what I did. I put on the first couple of bands then started at the keel and worked my way up. Fitting the last plank in with very little problems.. so I move on to the decks So this is how she sits now, ready for final planking, and the inside planks and cap rails. All in good time. We have to take a week off to attend the first Mate mother's celebration of life in the next province over lol. I will be very anxious to get back 🙃 . But thanks to the internet I won't miss a thing except my ship yard lol . Later, all my friends.

    Hello, today marks two years that I have been learning how to build models. I join MSW two years ago and I think I have not missed to many days scene then lol. I have been having the time of my life, meeting people, getting to know some as well. I was going to start my Pegasus, but wanted to finish my Columbus ships. As LA Nina will be my next build So I open the box last night and wanted to post, but dew to technical issues 🙃 lol I went to work. The keel and the bulk head came together nicely. So I move on up to the upper deck, and planked that as well So Iam about to start planking. But FIRST I will give Chucks video one more go lol. Glad to be part of this wonderful organization. Both the NRG and MSW have become important to me, my recent panic attack 🙃 🙂 because I couldn't log on kinda made that a little more clear. So to everyone who has put up a like or a laugh thankyou so much. It will be hard for me to control myself not to rush this because I will be doing the Pegasus right after the Nina. I do have a Viking Long Boat to do as well but I thought I save that for when I get boared with the Pegasus lol. Now on we go, video, planking lol Bob M.

    I must admit that I could have been a bit worried, lol as I ran around the house calling on my family " How do I fix this , help me lol" Today it has been two years that I join MSW. An the thought of you all gone in a second made me think, thankful for all the help here for the last two years. I have learnt a bit , but lots to go. I am so happy I am going to start a new log LOL

    Well my friends, it is that time. I am going to mark this one finished. Made and attached the rudders, and finally Captain Marvin Got his pillows lol. It's all done, and we decided to add more wind to the sails. So I saturated the sail with GAC 400, got the hair dryer, low heat, high wind, and using the hair dryer I blew it for about 10 minutes . The sail turn out fine. More wind lol 😆 So here are a few more final pictures. Plus, I would like to thank M S W for helping along the way. And a big thank you to the four other Sea of Galilee Boat logs that I leaned on to finish. Bye for now see you soon BOB M. I gave this boat to the first Mate, she said she loves it. So I got a even bigger grin on my face lol bye for now 😅

    Nice work my friend,

    Well I am getting there, installed the floor, false keel. The false keel has quite the bend to it and I was looking for a spare because I was sure it was going to break, but it didn't lol. After that it was the cap rail , they almost fit with out any bending , just a little bit of heat and they fit perfectly. Then I made the oars, rudders, davits, and stern peice. So I have the benches to make and prep the sails, run four rigging lines, no wait six lol. I will be done rigging in a day lol. Yep getting close on this one. It has been a blast. The bending of the wood, the making of the amber shellac, it was all so much fun to do. I am sure The First Mate will love this as she does say it looks beautiful every time she comes to visit me in the ship yard, lol. So just a bunch of things to put together and I call it done , maybe a week or less. Thanks so much everyone it has been fun hanging out with you all.

    Nicely done my friend,

    Thank you very much for the likes and comments, appreciated 😊. So we move on to the decks, also made the yardarm, mast, and drilled holes for the ropes later. The decks turn out well, the wood is excellent. I have to Thank Scott Miller soon, I will send him a picture when done.lolNow it was time for the cutwater, I traced the bow on a peice of paper, a left pofile and a right, or port side , starboard. Then I stacked the 4x4 and traced it on. Everything looked straight, but by the time I fitted it, there was a bit of a slant. But it will do lol. The port side looks more rounded than the starboard side, but you would have to look close for that. Captain Marvin has one complaint though lol. The first Mate would like a floor in her boat, so today I should glue in the mast. Install the floor and put the cap rails on, we will see lol. This will be the display side . I am pretty happy with the boat so far. I am even thinking of my next build lol, and I have not finished this one. Lots of time though lol.

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.
