    When you were installing your waterways, after you had beveled the inside edge to meet the planking, did you have to clamp in the waterway as you cut the bevel for the side that backed up to the bulkhead? Did you do any wetting of the waterway before you forced it next to the bulkhead?

    Thanks for your build log it has been of great assistance on this journey.

      I'm not sure I understand the question.  If you're asking, did I pre-bend them?, the answer is yes.  I didn't have pictures, at the time, but tried to describe the jig I built to shape the waterways to fit.  For the pieces at the bow, I cut them on the bandsaw to fit the arc. I did not use Mr. Hunt's make-them-from-two-pieces strategy.  I had extra material and used the plan to make a cutting template.  I believe you'll see that process in my build log.  Hope that helps.

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.
