    BIG magnifier and bright light! Then comes the tiny weenie paint applying device. 😄

    Howdy Bucks, WELCOME! 😀

    Funny how I thought about that… then thought about paint… bleeding onto the decking etc.. I’ll just have to do my best with exact fit or use a waterway. And that’s the way the drawings show it. 😳

    Thanks Keith. 👍

    I decided to plank the inner bullworks, and possibly plank the deck before starting the 2nd planking. The plans show (4) 1 X 4s on the inside of the bullworks. As you can see by the picture, I have a sliver of inner bullworks not covered (which I’m going to have to do). Is this normal? Did I possibly boo-boo putting the false deck on?

    Hi Lars, WELCOME! 😀

    Hey Jackson, I’m guessing that if you tried sanding the outer layer down, you’d damage your first layer, and depending on how thin the first layer is, the attempt might be disastrous. If you’re quite certain that may happen, fill in the bow with carefully shaped planking so to get the form Allan illustrated above and then fill everything (so you basically won’t see the planking curves) and then paint it as VTHokiEE suggested. I think you could get away with that… it’s what I would do. 👍

    Progress report? I’m considering this build later on. It’s rated as a “beginner”. Do you concur? Looking good ! 👍😀

    Wonder that sucker didn't fall off the cradle. 😆 Very nice!

    Like to see some pictures of your other works. 🙂

    WOW! Where is this going to end up being displayed? 👍

    Ok Fellers, Ran into my first “how am I going to do this” moment. Tell me there’s a method to carve out all the gun and view ports in the bullworks, other than a mini file set.

    Congratulations on your retirement. I’m a month into mine. New way of life… thank goodness for the ships. 😁

    After researching the online hobby shops and sponsors here on MSW when I was deciding what and where to buy and comparing prices etc., the price of a kit on eBay or Amazon.com was my first clue something was amiss.

    Progress... I think. Started the 2nd planking. I glued the 1st 2 top planks on prebent with PVA and clamps. I got done and could see daylight in a couple spots, nothing major, but that's not the tight fit we all strive for. Glued the 3rd and 4th plank using the prebend and CA. Now we're cooking with oil! 😀 However, as I look at the bottom of the 4th plank... am I going to have to chamfer an edge of the next plank or will the Chuck bending" take care of a gap? I see a gap coming with out chamfer. Something that can be sanded out? Also have one Garboard plank in next to the keel. Should I put in a second, before laying out for the planking?

    Outstanding work Sir! 👍 What material did you use for your alligator clip covers? Excellent idea.

    Looking mighty fine. 👍

    Press onward! 👍🙂 I’ve pulled up my watch chair.

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.
