    Thanks Gregory for your info. So to get the measurement at the bow, you have to fit the garboard and a second plank, then you’d have a stopping point for the measurement? I did not see this mentioned in any of the references or pdfs.
  2. Isaiah
    This is good info, but the thing I’m most confused about is if you use string or paper, where is the end? If you follow it around at the bow it just keeps going to the keel. Where is the defining line to stop the paper or string. Also mine doesn’t have a bulkhead right at the bow like that.
  3. Isaiah
    Sorry for not being clear, but this is what I meant: How do I measure and line off this area, where the arrow is pointing? I’m a bit lost as to how to do that at the moment.
  4. Isaiah
    I don’t really know the best way to measure and line off right at the bow. Because it’s curved and not like just measuring the bulkheads it’s confusing to me. i haven’t really worried about it for the first layer planking, I’ve just measured the closest bulkhead and tapered it slightly more. But second layer planking is different. Any advice?

    I would fair by hand, unless you have what I have with Vanguard models with the engraved fairing lines and a dremel than just fair by hand. If you use a bench sander to fair the frames, You’ll overdo it before you can think.
  6. Isaiah
    Another really helpful tool is a bench top sander. Even if you just buy the cheapest one you can find just to sand the frames it’ll be a million times better than hand sanding. I have the Triton spindle and belt sander which is really good, but i wouldn’t say I use it enough for the price.
  7. Isaiah
    That’s great, it’ll come in handy thought the build.
  8. Isaiah
    Do you have a bandsaw? That would be very helpful.
  9. Isaiah
    Well they’re now fixed and I didn’t touch any of them except one. Probably something only on my device.
  10. Isaiah
    Ok I just fixed the 4th one like you said Thukydides. The rest must of fixed themselves. If it happens again I guess I’ll just wait a few hours and redo them.
  11. Isaiah
    It’s just an angle bracket cut in half with a slightly curved side, just need something the same thickness as the planks. If that’s what you’re talking about.
  12. Isaiah
    Ok for me if I click the bulwarks link, it takes me to the frame assembly post. and the frame assembly takes me to unboxing and review. some of them work and some don’t for me. I’ll redo the links later and see if anything will change.
  13. Isaiah
    Yes the links work but don’t go to the right specific posts for some reason.
  14. Isaiah
    In my Sherbourne log I have a table of contents which all the links worked a week ago. Now all of a sudden the links only get directed to one post. I’ve tried redoing the links but they keep getting directed to the same post. I don’t know if something in the website has changed or what but I can’t get it to work now.

    Log #6: first planks
  16. Isaiah
    Log #5: bulwarks

    Looking really good. I like how you redid the first few planks, it’s not easy to do that! What paint did you use for the hull? I’m looking at maybe airbrushing.
  18. Isaiah
    Log #4: Transom, Fairing and keel
  19. Isaiah
    The hull had a slight twist along the length. I’ve currently got it under tension while the glue around all the bulkheads dries. Should work.
  20. Isaiah
    Log #3: Frame assembly
  21. Isaiah
    Log #2: unboxing and review I’ve just picked up the kit today. The quality and precision in all the parts are really good.
  22. Isaiah
    Good to know, most other kits I’ve seen require keeping the keel straight while planking. Glad I won’t need it then.
  23. Isaiah
    I just realised I have to add blocks to the jig to fit in between the bulkheads. Otherwise the bulkheads won’t be able to slot all the way down.
  24. Isaiah
    Here’s a couple things I’ve made while waiting for the kit to arrive. Crosscut jig, pre-bought ones are never as good. And an adjustable jig to hold the false keel and keep it straight.
  25. Isaiah
    Hi Simon, great work so far. I hope you don’t mind me giving a little criticism. I would personally suggest redoing the ratlines. They are currently not a uniform taper from top to bottom. I know it would be very annoying and a big step back, but it would be very worth it in the end. I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, I just felt I had to tell you this as the rest of your build is really good. It would be a shame for you to build such an amazing model, only to be let down by the ratlines. Kind regards, Isaiah

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.
