    Welcome from another DC denizen! Max

    The Polaris timber heads are tapered to a point at the top (see photo), so they don’t look like they’re providing support to the cap rail. Does that seem odd to you? Or is it normal that they would not be used to provide support?

    After combing through Polaris build logs I found an example! @RH-J planked the inner bulwarks on this super interesting build. Would be great to see the finished product!

    Great flag @Snug Harbor Johnny - I agree the Endurance looks great.

    I’m curious if anyone has seen this modification to Polaris before, and if so if they can drop a link to it? otherwise, I’m curious what people’s opinions are on planking the inner bulwarks.

    good clarification! Yes it is the very thin second planking veneer strips that I have leftover so the bulwark would not be too thick IMO.

    Hello All, I am working on my first model, Occre’s Polaris. I have seen several build logs where the builder said they would have liked to plank the inner bulwarks but lacked sufficient planks. well I’ve gotten through all the planking and have enough planks left over to plank the inner bulwarks in lime - should I? I am torn between wanting to do the kit the way it was designed and wanting it to look more realistic - I am interested in crowd sourcing opinions on this. Also, can anyone point me towards a Polaris build log where the inner bulwarks are planked? I can’t find any examples. (deck fittings not attached yet) thanks! Max

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.
