    Painted the interior with the True North Ghost Grey. It had become a little thick with age, so thinned it out. Used the grey primer as a base coat on the interior, but not on the exterior, where I used three light coats of enamel. I thought the grey primer might tint the buff paint. Was I wrong?

    Progress. Got the gunwales sorted and attached the planking. What do people use for filler? I'd like to smooth some gaps.

    Hi all, I've had a pretty smooth experience building the frame, but the gunwale strips are proving a little difficult at the stem and transom. I've still got some pretty good spring strength in the strips and I've actually snapped the stem and had to re-glue it trying to try fit the parts together at the bow. Any tips and tricks for getting the bow and stern together? I think the stern will go together pretty easily, but I need to trim the strips to get a better fit and I might need to fill some gaps. Also, is there a discussion about different glues elsewhere that you might point me to? I've been using wood glue just out of habit with other projects and because a fuss with things a bit before setting, but I could see CA glue being useful.

    Thanks for the warm greetings. I'll post photos of the more significant milestones to the web site. I'm going to be a little more granular with photos on my phone album. It's been a long time since I've made a boat model, but I have been in BlueJacket's shop in Searsport several times over the past few years and decided I had to give one a try. I chose the dory to start small and because it reminds me of the boats I used to row in summer camp. I've got a "full size" Wood Duck kayak project from Chesapeake Light Craft underway as well, but it is paused for the moment until the weather comes back to a temperature friendly for curing epoxy.

    I picked up this model at the shop in Searsport, Maine this summer for a winter project. I've started a photo album here: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0W53qWtHVUJ0a

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.
