    After planks have set I visually inspected and sanded where I thought it needed it, Mainly at the bow and stern. When the time came to cut the dory loose from the build board I was excited! I had only been able to get little peeks at the work I’ve been doing. I see I have room for improvement but there’s not another like it 🙂 I sanded the bow to prepare for the false stem which I cut from the board the stem came from. There was a lot of wood that had to go. So I carefully whittled away most of it then sanded it round by my eye. Next more sanding and eye training for me.

    Then I aligned the starboard sheer at the bow.

    I got the port sheer plank bent and glue.

    Good morning all. I’ve been excited about getting started back on my first build. It turned off cold and my work area is climate controlled by what’s outside. It should only make me move slower and that’s probably a good thing. I noticed the broad planks don’t align symmetrically. The starboard plank is higher than the port side. I plan on bending and installing the port side first and place it a close to the edge of the broad plank as I can. Then match the starboard side if I can.‘

    To get my build log caught up with my build I’m posting pictures of the port side garboard being held while glued and both sides of the broad planks.

    So the next step I sanded, soaked and bent the garboard. I placed the bow end first and had to bridge the gap at the transom with a dab of glue. I kinda enjoy figuring ways to hold the boards without damaging them. It seemed I didn’t do it exactly the same every time.

    Thank you dryxey for the recommendation. I thought a lot about it. On this small built I thought it will give me insight and I love a challenge on figuring out a fix.

    Thanks Ryland, I’m up for the challenge!

    Hello my name is Bryan and this is my first build. I’ve read many logs in the past few weeks while waiting for this kit to arrive. I’m planning on retiring in the next year and ship building seems to be similar in certain ways to my occupation. I work off a plan connecting pipes, valves and other components over entire buildings then at the finish dress everything up to be attractive or even unseen. I started this build a few days ago but my internet service was being changed so I’m going to gradually catch up with my progress. I’m not going to do a play by play but I do realize that I had made a mistake right out of the starting gate. At the time things seemed right. The stern cleat wasn’t symmetrical like I saw in the image. I believe I chose the wrong way to install it. After I got the transom glued on and was looking at the assembly I noticed I lined the cleat with the mark but it was to far back. I thought about removing it but I measured the garboard and it was long enough so I moved on. Now I’m learning how one member out of place can change others. When the transom fit in the holder I noticed the angle wasn’t right.

    Truly an inspiration for me. I will be receiving my first kit this week and will utilize your experience along with others. You show skill, knowledge and talent that I’m hoping to acquire.

    Hello all, my name is Bryan. I don’t have a lot of modeling experience, but I’m a skilled fire suppression pipe fitter looking at my last year before I retire. I’ve recently tried wood and metal 3D builds. They are challenging, but they are lacking the individual touch that gives me a satisfying sense of accomplishment. I’ve got the MS 1473 Shipwright 3 kit combo ordered. I’m starting with the Dory. I’ve been reading the other member’s build logs for the last few days. I already feel, before I’ve even started building the boats, the Model Ship World has help me understand beginning terminology, basic construction and hind sight that helps us all. I hope I can learn, refine, and return the favor to someone like me.

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.
