Many thanks for the kind words, Jeff and Alan. Jeff, it is indeed very much easier to plank the deck off the hull. And there were no problems fitting it. I think, it's the same to fit a planked or an unplanked deck.

Thanks for the comment, B.E. There is one part left to be coppered: The rudder. Before glueing the copper plates I tapered the rudder along the red line. Sorry I didn't take any fotos from this part. After tapering the rudder I've glued the copper plates in an angle of 90 degrees to the hinge. I don't know if this is correct, but I saw this on some models. Well, and here are the last pictures from the coppering: This is only a test. The rudder will be fitted later.

Thank you very much, David. Much appreciated. Well, one plate is still missing, but the coppering of the hull is done. It looks good so far, but... ...a closer look shows a pretty wavy waterline. This requires some finishing work. So I just glued a wooden strip along the waterline and the problem was resolved.

Thank you very much, Blue Ensign. One step back: After glueing the stern fascia to the hull there was a big gap. I don't know how this could happend but this gap has to be closed. So I glued a stripe of walnut to the bottom of the stern fascia. Now after some filling and sanding I'm happy with the stern. Today I've drilled the hawse holes and the bowsprit hole. Due to the position of the bowsprit the port and starboard hawse holes are not symmetrical. Now the hull is ready for being coppered and painted.

In the next step I've planked the stern fascia inside and outside. Then the stern fascia was ready to glue into place. I also glued a stripe of walnut on the top and both sides.

Hi all, here's a little update. At last the upper gundeck is fitted. In the next step I planked the inner bulwark. The gunports are fully opend.

Thanks for the comment, Bob. Well, after sanding, filling and sanding the hull I started with the second planking. The walnut stripes are quite rough and brittle, so I must be very careful.

Hi all, welcome to my build log. I'm a new menber and last Friday I started the build of JoTiKas HM Schooner Pickle. It's a very nice little kit. I think I don't need to show the box and all the parts of the kit, because here are some very fine build logs of the Schooner Pickle. Forever associated with Admiral Nelson's final and most historic victory, the Battle of Trafalgar 1805, Pickle was chosen to carry the News of Nelson's victory and death back to England. And here are the first pictures: Almost ready for the first planking.

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.
