    Finally made a start on the planking, after first watching several videos. Doesnt matter who i watch, or what method it always looks straight forward. How wrong. I havent made infil blocks between bulkheads, as some do, but instead tried the techniques used by Chuck. Getting the curve for the stern is easy enough but the bow... I used a crimping tool but think im a bit heavy handed as the plank has broken a few times when bending.  Then issues with glue. Tried a super glue gel first, useless. Then Gorilla glue. Works well but expanded on setting. Now just using a bog-standard super glue on the planks.PXL_20240325_173450641.thumb.jpg.0141048550671d18ba01f4f7a037c760.jpgPXL_20240329_153147763.thumb.jpg.a3e8688f3d6a6631d7ccf29281522a0e.jpgPXL_20240401_134930588.thumb.jpg.5de06a73db9358952e71f5f7cd4b2d3b.jpgPXL_20240401_135540694.thumb.jpg.2aa00aa6dd2b5723963078d0346e74f2.jpg

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.
