    Hi Ian, I may have to keep editing my post. Don’t know what is going on over at Amazon but those clamps are now 40 CAD.
  4. Paul Le Wol
    Hi Glen, thanks very much. Those clamps are used to re-attach the screens after fixing mobile devices. Got them from Amazon. 33CAD for eight of them. They come in handy every once in a while. I think I searched for mobile device clamps.

    Hi Everyone, hope you are all well. Thank you for your Comments and Likes! This update is all about the stringers that run run the length of the main deck. Now that the main deck house is permanently glued in place the first stringers to be installed will be the assistant stringers. They run on either side of the deck house so they were the easiest to locate. Strips of 1/16 X 3/4" basswood were glued to the underside of these stringers between the bulkhead to support the other stringers and the 1/32" plywood subdeck. Next came the main hatch stringers They are glued inboard of the assistant stringers. Lastly came the side stringers that sit on top of the main hatch stringers. The subdeck was then laid. I used 8 pieces just to make the gluing easier. The main Hatch was laid out and the coamings were glued to the subdeck. The strongbacks were hung on the coamings and the hatch boards were glued into place. A few coats of paint. I think the painting of the hull will be next. I hope to see you then!

    John, she must be really something to see in person.
  14. Paul Le Wol
    Thank you very much Gary. Paint colors certainly can be a challenge. I think I’m going to wait to see what you choose for Pelican below the waterline 🙂

    Hi Everyone, I hope you are all well. Thank you very much for the Comments and Likes. The bulkheads at the fore and aft ends of the main deck have been sided with 1/32" horizontal edge glued strips of 5/64" AYC. The sliding doors were glued to the siding and then everything was painted with Vallejo Model Air White Grey (71.119). The chafing planks were finished to the forward end. The bulwark planking was done next. There is a stanchion in there so there was a lot of measuring and cutting These areas had to be completed before the Main Deck House could be installed. The bulwarks were airbrushed and except for a few attachment points she is ready for the deck house and the sub deck. Hope to see you soon!

  19. Paul Le Wol
    She looks great Roel! It must be incredibly difficult to make sure everything is done in the correct sequence.
  20. Paul Le Wol

    Hi Yves, thank you very much! Hi Keith, thank you so much!
  25. Paul Le Wol
    Thank you Jacques, I agree. It didn’t seem to have much going on. If there’s any more changes though, they’d better not involve scuppers 😀

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.
