    I used basswood strips. I gotta say, having a labeled view off all of these lasered sheets would have added 2 pages to the instructions PDF and would have been immensely helpful.

    Ahah. There's no actual picture, it's just on the plan sheet. I missed that completely, thanks y'all.

    I don't see any outboard bands in either the instructions or in the various pix I've seen online, but I'm also a noob, so maybe I'm not looking for what I think I am. I'll email Expo when I'm back at the house later, thanks.

    The seat risers have already been installed. In the instructions, the gunwales are made from 1/16" square stock. I have no idea what else it could be for.

    Finally back on this after the holiday season, hope everyone is doing well in 2026. I cleaned up the seats and added the seat risers, I'm closing in on it. Question though, what are the pieces circled in red? I'm starting to get 'Why are there leftover bolts?" after reassembling something vibes.

    I have the DSPIAE one (and many of their other tools) and really like it. It's heavy and well-machined.

    I got their plank bending jig and like it. The only thing wrong with it is that I had to partially cover the peg slots on the bottom so the wooden dowels wouldn't fall through.

    My shellac experience is also furniture + French polish. I can't really recommend any premixed shellac, as you are finding out. The good thing is, you can remove it easily.

    I'm a huge Joe Walsh nerd. Your quote timing is on point. For only $25K+, you can own Joe's ARP 2500... https://www.juliensauctions.com/en/items/2103588/joe-walsh-arp-2500-synthesizer-and-barnstorm-wing-cabinet Sadly, I'm not bidding

    Shaped the false stem, and attached the first two side cleats.
  31. LoydB
    This is my next kit, where are you seeing problems? Thanks.
  32. LoydB
    That came out really nice, great work!

    Following, very cool project. I need to install a new extruder & hot end on my PLA printer, this is motivating.

    I love my Sherline.

    After getting it off the stand, realized there were a few places that the plank didn't completely touch the frame, so touched those up. Plus added the bow strip. I'm just guessing on which thickness of wood to use, as the instructions don't mention it and I don't see a plan view that specifies.

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.
