Gluing on planks
rudybob replied to rudybob's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I have used the iron and the hair dryer to bend my planks but not to dry glue. This is the first I have read that. I will try it -

Yes I am bending the planks. I rarely use CA. I was trying to do to many planks at once -

I didn't think of one at a time. I did several at a time. They are close but it's worth a try. -

I am going to try this tomorrow. Thank You -
Ticking off the bulkheads
rudybob replied to rudybob's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Yes. It is glued and I had to choose the lesser of two weevils. It's poorly cut and I am not the only one to get it like this. So much for laser cut accuracy. A more talented guy could have fit it by sanding or filing but I ain't that guy. It's Chuck's pinnace from our old friend model shipways -

Ticking off the bulkheads
rudybob replied to rudybob's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I'm following the tick marks I made. When I do that the garboard extends to the point in the picture. It doesn't "appear" to be riding up the stem. If it did ride up some could I compensate for that with the next strake to keep my line as straight as possible? -

I'm thinking about the strake that snubs into the rabbet and what difference if any that makes. -

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.
