    Thank you for the suggestion, Mark. As you might guess, I'm a newbie. Just stumbled on this site a few days ago. I'll try to get myself oriented.

    Tim, Thanks for posting these pics and also your construction tips. Very helpful.

    Thank you, Tim, for the reply. I will let you know how I make out. It seems a fair amount of sanding will be in order, but I'm up to it!!! I've covered a few balsa models with tissue but your results with covering the whole Spit with sheet balsa (and Basswood) have inspired me to move on. I admire your work. P.O.

    Thank you very much, EG. That was very helpful. I certainly want to avoid any warping or swelling so I'll soak the basswood with a wary eye. Also, sounds like good old Elmer's wood glue will work just fine. Thanks again.

    Not sure if site is still active but I do have a question. Tim, I took note of your using 1/32 basswood for the top of the wing. Since the basswood is much stiffer than the balsa, how did you get the contour? Did you use small pieces? Which direction did you apply them? Can the basswood be soaked to make it pliable? Any glue issues? BTW, a superb modeling project. My compliments. Paul

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.
