    Latest progress. Deck planking completed, boom and sail part installed. Waiting for some blocks, anchor and propeller.

    Wheelhouse almost completed. BTW, why does Modellers Central Krait instructions show the gaff boom halyard next to mast while the model in the ANWM shows it at the end. Which is correct?

    My first planking attempt. Went reasonable well

    Progressing well so far. Have stripped it down somewhat and made new hatches. Did a dummy plank run with cardboard.

    At our Historical Village and Museum here in Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia, we have been given a model of the "Krait", approx 4 foot long. We intend to use this model in a display related to operation "Jaywick" as we are just across the water from Fraser Island where the Z Force trained. This model lacks authenticity which I have been asked to provide and apply. The last model I made was a balsa plane around 75 years ago but I am handy with wood, metal and rope, also woodturning. The pics attached are of our model plus the one in the Australian War memorial. I can't expect to achieve the AWM model standard as I only have 1 1/2 months to complete this. The main areas are: The rigging, including timber ratlines Sail halyards, sheaves etc. The cabin to be planked The deck to be planked Adding missing deck hatches Adding screen at rear of canopy Repainting in more authentic colours I am sure more will come to mind as I progress. Any and all help appreciated, especially regarding the planking and ratline attachment.

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.
