Rustyj reacted to samueljr in 18th Century Longboat by samueljr - FINISHED December 11, 2013

Progress (I think?)

The ensign staff on the bowsprit is per Lavery. The darn cap is off center a bit. Sorry about that I'll have to reset it for the hundreth time! It's so samll!!
Rustyj reacted to mtaylor in USF Confederacy by ChrisLBren - FINISHED - 3/16 Scale December 11, 2013

Beautiful work, Chris. I'm taking it that you had doubts about them aligning? I think the rest of us have faith in you given what you've already accomplished.

Thanks you to all who have stopped by for a look see and the likes too!

Antony, Thanks. The plans showed it that way with the last plank at the
center half width. I kind of liked the look so I went with it.
Purely done for the look.

Thanks Augie, Yes the holly, like all the wood from Hobby Mill, is really nice and fun to work with.

Thanks Chuck much appreciated.

Hi Bob, Thanks and your Essex is coming along very nicely too!

I have completed planking half of the gun deck. One plank had to be notched to fit around the hatch.
It doesn’t adhere to planking procedures and it is a little too thin but close enough. There won’t be
any rot issues anyways. At least I hope not!

The hatch has not beeen glued in place yet as I have to sand and scrape the deck, treenail and seal it.

Hey Augie great job on the planking. The run looks real nice. Lots of tree nailing coming your way buddy!

Thanks Greg. Not much, maybe 1/64”. I always over bend them hoping to
compensate for the spring back.

Thanks grant. It’s always fun for me to mix in different woods.

I’ve milled all the holly needed for the decking and have started laying them.
Again I am using black paper to simulate the caulking. Hopefully later tonight
I well get to the area around the hatch completed.

Hi Ryland,

I see that you’re slow and steady pace is picking up some speed! Don’t worry about
how long you are taking just keep up the excellent work.

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.
