    Are there videos or step by step instructions on the cross sizing and round sizing. Are there any tools to do these. ?

    Great project. I am a newbi (did 3 models ) I purchased the rigging project and started to make the hull. I could not get evenly sized planks for deck and exterior. For the exterior I used 1/16 by 1/4 planks had and for the deck, I made a jig with bras(1/4 inch sq tubing and 1/4 flat) to hold and cult the 1/16 sheet stock. The I cound not makr the channels by gluing (3) 1/6 sheets together ( they would not stay together so I used a painters stirr stck and a 1/16 flst stock to make the channel. The pins were a good idea. I was looking to see if someone could suggest a better way to cut planks evenly. The hull is being taped and stained (see pic) and also a pic of the jig i made.

    I am a new member and not sure how posting works. The Marie Jeanne is my third model and I am trying to secure planks to bulk head. So far i am using binder clips clips size mini and small with various wood shapes in the binder to secure the plank plus an occasional dressmaker pin. I alos add some glue between boards. I am looking for suggestions on how to secure plansk.

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.
