    I haven't decided about the coppering yet. Could buy copper tiles again,or copper sheet and make my own,or just paint it copper I'll have to have a good think about it.Any suggestions/thoughts?

    Here I go with the first day of filling and sanding.It's coming on well.Hopefully another couple of days should do it.
  4. Keith B
    Hi Nenad, No, the sanding shouldn't be too bad,the planks have gone on really well.
  5. Keith B
    Just one or two small bits of planking to glue in,then the sanding and filling.Then more sanding.... and filling,......and sanding. I've been doing a little bit of sanding as I've been going,so won't be too much to do,I hope!!
  6. Keith B
    Slowly getting there. I'm using 2mm thick planks,which will allow for a good sanding.Hoping to get away with not putting a second layer on,all depends on the finish after it's been sanded and filled,and sanded again.Should be okay seeing as half of it will be coppered and the rest painted.

    I do like planking.In fact,I must be pretty good at it,as someone called me a great planker the other day.At least that's what I think he said.
  8. Keith B
    Well,here we go with the first strips of planking. By the way,total cost so far is £12 for the sheet of plywood.Everything else has so far been used up from bits I had left over from previous projects,but I daresay the cost will be going up soon,as I run out of stuff!!

    Thanks Omega. I might have a change in the next day or two and start planking the hull. These small bits and pieces are very fiddly!!!

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.
