    Ouch! Sorry to hear about the battle damage your first hull received. I'm so glad you reordered and are back in business. Great job on the winch by the way!

    Thanks Jorge and thanks for all the like too! I've glued the transom in place and the filler pieces have been placed on top of the transom to cover the two layers. They are 1/64" thick! I've also placed the quarter galleries window. The starboard side framing has started. The two pieces have been temporally placed with rubber cement as I check them out before permanently gluing them in.

    Hi Shawn, Welcome aboard! I'm sure you'll enjoy building the Winnie. Don't worry about miss steps, we all could fill volumes confessing ours. Just take it slow and steady and continually check and recheck everything. Something I could do more of myself.

    Great workmanship and explanation Mike. Always a pleasure seeing your updates!

    I've cut the transom out of 3/64" thick stock. This is the third attempt and it seems it was the proverbial charm. First one the scroll saw went a wee bit out side the lines. The second one succumbed to heavy handed me. I rough cut it on the scroll saw leaving the lines. I then fine tuned it with knives, files and sanding sticks. I've clamped the transom in place so far the fit doesn't look to bad to me. Before I permanently glue it in place and plank the upper counter I will test fit as many pieces to see if there are any potential issues.

    Congrats on completing chapter 1. Looking really good!

    I received chapter 3 laser cut parts in cherry from Syren today and I must say they looked great online and are even more impressive in person. Now the quarter galleries fun begins!

    I'm in on trying it!

    Great job! Finishing chapter 2 is a satisfying milestone.
  10. Rustyj
    Great job! That is very close to the way I did mine. Very good explanation too.
  11. Rustyj
    Very very nice workmanship!
  12. Rustyj
    That all looks so great. This is one of my favorite part of the build.

    Thanks Ben. Very appreciated!

    Thanks Bob, I hope you are holding up well! Also thank for all the likes.

    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.

    Great workmanship Glenn.
  19. Rustyj
    Glad to see you found some time to work on her. Well done!
  20. Rustyj
    Boy that looks fantastic!
  21. Rustyj
    Congratulations Bob! You've done an outstanding job.
  22. Rustyj
    Great planking! Well done!

    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.
  25. Rustyj
    Yes it is very nice!

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.
