    Chuck has some great guides as do other links provided on this thread. Only they seem to be directed at scratch builds and not kits. Using the planking fan, wider gaboard plank, and spiling, and rabbets, don’t seem to go with kit builds and beginners like myself.

    How do you fix/hide/address glue marks from wood glue or CA glue when planking decks or hull? Or any other part of the ship. I do woodworking and I find that it can be very difficult to eliminate glue marks, especially from CA. They become even more visible when finish is applied.

    Not sure, Doing some research now. I want to start small but I also want to cover most or all of the basic skills. I want a model that is planked, and has a sail/sails. Probably the Polaris or Albatros from OcCre. Suggestions???

    I'm new to this hobby, I'm a plastic ship modeler and woodworker and I'm taking the plunge into wooden ship models.

    I'm new to wooden ship models and I'm a little intimidated by the planking process. What book or video series would you recommend for a new guy to learn to properly plank a wooden ship model?

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.
