    Bunch of work completed: Re-primed everything after the railcap went on Drilled required holes. As I don't have a #68 drill bit (0.03") i used my existing 1/16" drill bit. In retrospect, it's too big by about double. So i ordered the 0.03" and will get it today before i complete all drilling. Notes to BlueJacket Company. The instructions are unnecessarily vague and in some cases, missing in the diagram. In may cases I had to look at completed models of the Wendameen to understand where to put the wholes Drilled out the mast holes, as per recommendation frrom Mr.BlueJacket. Finally - completed the longboat to be added to the hanging stands Drilling out holes LongBoat Next steps: Painting the hull. I'm awaiting the arrival of the paints.

    Hello @MrBlueJacket, I'm also working this model. Question. The instructions state: Is that accurate? Drill a hole all the way through? Looking at your photos, it seems you did the same.

    Added the Bulwark Cap and Rail Cap. Sanded down excess glue, and am priming it again. (Shouldn't have primed it earlier. Rookie mistake). The instructions recommend sanding inside the railcap. I assume to bring both the railing and boat in-sync. After reviewing, I felt this was overkill for a railing inside the boat. I left it as is.

    Then I applied a coat of offwhite primer spray paint:

    After sanding, I filled holes and gaps with standard drywall filler. I accept that this shoddy work, but I'm not ready to move into precision work. Its my first model, and I want to keep this moving, and not stop for want of proper equipment. I will probably take other shortcuts to complete this model. Post Sanding: Then I applied the filler to even out the holes

    The ship hull had excessive molding on it, not sure why. Maybe this is normal. I had to sand all this down, 15 min job.

    Hi Everyone, New to ship building, and started with the Schooner Wendameen by BlueJacket Shipcrafters. Hopefully a useful blog as I only see one other user building this boat at the moment. Simple unboxing pics:

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.
