    Decide to deck using 80 cm and 40 cm deck boards starting mid ship and moving outwards, once glued will stain and varnish the deck to keep them some what protected . Later 😀

    Made a material list in English , then sanded all the bulk heads that need it ran a plank over it looks like I am good for planking. But need to do the decks so been looking for ideals, seen sum beautifully decks here , would like to imitate the black caulking ideal Going to use a pencil to blacken the sides , going with the butt shift pattern this time . I will post when I finish, Can't get the hang of posting and following, And feel like spending more time trying to fix my page than just modeling ,So until I get to know how model model model lol

    This is going to help me decide my next decking, might use pencil to shade the edges of the planks. Plus I got the book Shipbuilding Simplified, great book I am getting excited about trying some of these things , Not sure about copy right things, but I think if I post something that I am not suppose to they notify me quickly. LOL . 👋👋

    I just put it together lose, I will take it apart and shim it here and there and clamps lots of clamps. I found a pdf file on a page I have no I deal how I I got to But it about decking I would like to learn because I drew it with a pencil on The Santa Maria , and would like to do it right this time. Was that cheating just drawing it in with a pencil lol The pdf is great for figuring out how to lay it out should be fun Plus got my new hand drill to make all the tiny holes in the deck . I will post here when I start Clamping the painted one together.

    So most builds I see start with an open the box picture, I plan to build the ship right out of the box, minor changes maybe but by the book.The Santa Maria institutions are in Italian, was hard to follow, as my new found friend Lapinas will tell you about he has a great page I sat for hours learning planking putting it together thanks so much. Many other pages help to . This one is in English and looks easier to read. I will try to use what I learned on the first to improve on the next. First thing I noticed only two rolls of rope instead of four , be done in no time lol. 🙃 😅 Well it begins but real life is calling, did I mention I was old and can't hear to good . Bye for now. 👋 👋 👋 👋

      Of course you can follow my stuff, Bob!  There’s no need to ask, by the way.  I follow quite a few builders and do most of my learning and problem solving reading their logs.

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.
