    To lay the deck went as a charm. In another build log it was suggested to use black permanent marker on the edges of the planks, so did I. There are no space between the planks as I think the nate (fugue) appears realistic enough. It will be interesting to see how it turns out once it is covered in lacquer. Its a fun puzzle to lay deck Time to start with the railings.

    Hi, I am new to this great forum, where I've been finding a tremendous amount of information about building modelships. I decided to start this Colin Archer build log after about a month into the "Colin Archer expert level project with RC fit" 😅. In the past I've made about 5-6 boatmodel kits at low - intermediate level (and a bunch airplanes). Eager to get an expert-level kit I bought a Colin Archer (CA) manufactured by Billing Boats with ABS-hull from another member in the forum. I've pfound a lot of inspiration and tips in the threads by Sundt, Arjan, Norwegian Plastic and Geam. The deckframe (strings and beams) were put together fairly well, bending the wood was a brainer that required water and a heating gun. On the right side is a broken small green speedboat, stolen from my son 😇, it had a 600-engine with a mounting bracket that fitted perfect into the hull.

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.
