I printed them on plain white printer paper. Photo paper would be too thick.

Very nice Ben. Now you just need to add a laser cutter to your arsenal.

First off very nice work! I think your final two choices look very good and if Naphthol Red is easier to use then go for it.

Yes we all have had that moment. I used a hair dryer to accelerate the drying time to just an hour with no ill effects.

Very nice masts and spars. It is something I think we all do a little differently and you seem to have found out what works for you. That's what's important. Each time you do it it'll get easier and easier. Well done!

Hi Glenn, Great save. Those little buggers were hiding on you. Beware when your placing the fore deck. The two vertical pieces circled in your picture below are fragile and can be bent or snapped off if your not careful placing the fore deck. As least if you have heavy hands like me. Keep up the good workmanship!

That is some fine work on those sticks Glenn. Nice tight joints too! It's really rewarding when you can take " sticks" and make them into something nice like you did.

Your detailed log will be very beneficial for all who follow. Thanks for this. I tend to get in a zone and forget pictures for several steps. 😉

Thank you Jean-Paul, Sjors, JJ and Bob. Much appreciated. Also for all the likes. I'll give you the same answer I used to give my dad when I was a teenager and I quote, "Ummm, ahhhh, welllllllll, maybe, I don't know." That should about cover it.

Thanks Mark and Sjors. Sjors I've been following your Flirt and you're doing a great job on her! Also thanks for the likes. On to planking the deck. I planked her using pear wood. No big surprises, just follow Chucks directions! Here you can see the start of laying the first center line plank and the the filling in between the hatches etc. Then came the tabs around the hatches. You can see how I started figuring the cuts and just kept making small cuts and sanding until a tight fit was obtained. More pieces than I care to count went into the waste bin! Here all the tabs have been completed. Planking the remaining deck came next. First coat of wipe on poly going on. Brings out the colors nicely. Whew that was a lot of fun!

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.
