    I'm thinking it might have been the equivalent of two trees! Thanks Chuck, I'm looking forward to when I can visit you again! Thank Mike, Out of the frying pan and into the fire?

    Thanks Glenn, This is the second time I've planked the Winnie so I'm good there. After doing this big hull I'd gladly plank the Cheerful again! Thanks VTHokiEE and Don. Also all the like too!

    The last 11 strakes have been completed. Prior to starting the planking these strakes I checked my distance from the keel to the already completed 12 strakes. I noticed that at frames A and 1 (center of the model) the distance was 1/32" wider than the 11 1/4" strakes would cover. To remedy this the Garboard Strake was cut 1/32" wider and installed. I then added 2 more strakes above the Garboard. I then add 3 strakes to the completed upper strakes. This left me with 5 strakes to be completed between these two bands. I then rechecked and adjusted my remaining tick marks and then finished the planking. As you can see I still have to sand the planks at the stern post, add the stern post and trim the keel then chapter 3 will be completed.

    Hi Glenn, Sorry for the delay but I had to first shake some cobwebs loose. I took the lengths and pattern right from the plans. It's a four plank shift and the plans show the joint locations. I marked the bulkheads and got my plank lengths from there. Hope this helps.

    Hi Glenn, I think you're going to love this build and we're going to love following along. It's always fun to see how each modeler approaches a build.
  11. Rustyj
    Yes it is very nice!
  12. Rustyj
    Great information Ben. Thanks

    The Winnie is not the simplest hull to plank even with Chucks great guidance. You're doing a good job and I'm sure you're improving with every plank you do. Keep up the good work!
  14. Rustyj
    Looking really nice Ben. A lot of fun planking in your future!
  15. Rustyj
    Looking really nice! The fun has now begun!

    Thanks Glenn, Funny your builds have always inspired me! I agree the cherry on our Fair American's have aged very nicely. A large portion of the pear I'm using came from Jeff too.
  17. Rustyj
    Thanks scrubbj427. Thanks Chuck, the pear is kinda like cherry on steroids. It'll be interesting to see how it ages.
  18. Rustyj
    Thanks Ryland. I've never used this much pear before and I'm happy with the look. Thanks everyone for the likes too!

    It's been 5 weeks and I've been slowly plodding along. I've now planked the second band of six strakes on both the port and starboard sides. The number of planks broken or miss shaped are too numerous to keep track of. Also on the starboard side after resting for the night and then resuming the next day I did not like the look of first three strakes. So the first two planks from the stem aft were removed and redone. Here's how she looks right now. I'll be starting from the keel up next. As always thanks for stopping by and stay safe!

    Great workmanship Ryland. I remember that demonstration well. You did a great job applying it!
  21. Rustyj
    That planking is looking really good! I hear you on the broken/messed up planks. I've probably have enough in the bin to plank a small cutter!
  22. Rustyj
    Very nice Ben. I'm looking forward to the hull planking!
  23. Rustyj
    Very nice job. I'm glad that you redid it seeing you weren't happy with the first planking. I've replaced many offending plank and am much happier for it!
  24. Rustyj
    That molding looks fantastic!

    Great workmanship and shop Ben.

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.
