    Just a little bit at a time.

    Terrific detail! Nice work

    I've been sanding the hull since yesterday. First with coarse paper now with fine. I have to be careful since I'm only sanding thin veneer which is very thin. I'm almost where I want the hull to be before a coat of varnish.

    Great deck!

    Sliver's gone! Now I'll sand the hull and micro-fill some very small spaces. Varnish would probably hide them, but I'll make some filler by sanding some left over planks for their sawdust. I know what you're saying..."shoulda' painted the hull like the instructions say." I just happen to like looking at un-painted wood.

    Great ballast!
  7. HIPEXEC
    There's always a sliver left?
  8. HIPEXEC
    Great job!

    Creeping to a close. Each plank here becomes a sculpture that has to be shaped, twisted, bent, tapered, etc.

    Oh, I really like your longboat!

    Getting there on the starboard side. Slow but sure
  12. HIPEXEC
    Finished the Larboard side yesterday but our site was down? There's one small strip under the rail, but I'll wait until just before I glue on the cap since the edge is fragile. Now onto the starboard side.

    Hello Sjors. It was great to see you and Anja.

    Shipyard open! After 27 days, it feels good to glue some planks on. I'm at the part where there a lot of stealers and filler pieces so it's slow going.
  15. HIPEXEC
    It is too hot here! 115 degrees F

    I'll be closing down my shipyard tomorrow AM and heading for cooler climates. This "closed" picture is old 'cause I'm too lazy to take a new pic. See you all in 16 days.
  17. HIPEXEC
    Wow! Nice work.
  18. HIPEXEC
    Six planks to go with maybe a real thin one and some wedges at the stern. It's not half bad even without any sanding and filling.
  19. HIPEXEC
    We are leaving Sunday for Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Germany and Russia on another cruise. Back around the 19th. Nothing will be as good as Ireland.
  20. HIPEXEC
    This is exactly what my first build looked like. Just keep swinging.
  21. HIPEXEC
    Where are you going, Frank? I'll be leaving again Sunday for a few weeks. You're right, Brian, anyplace is cooler than here.
  22. HIPEXEC
    This is good....members helping members
  23. HIPEXEC
    I've finished gluing the planks that curve up at butt up to the transom. Getting there.
  24. HIPEXEC
    No. Buy a high quality Ph neutral PVA. You can get it on E-bay
  25. HIPEXEC
    No! Purchase some ph neutral PVA glue at a hobby store. Elmers is okay but not as good as a high quality PVA. I purchased a brand called "LINECO" on E-bay.

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.
