    Video #16 Complete Hull frames are now faired ready for planking. Was probably the easiest one I've done to date. I used an orbital mouse sander to do the bulk of the work, and switched to a Dremel with the EZ-Clic sanding disc for the stern area and anywhere close to the keel. Then the first 4 layers of hull planking on each side. The wood supplied is amazingly pliable. I've not had to use a single plank bending method anywhere on this build yet.

    Video #15 Complete Pretty simple, planking/painting the inner sides of the lowest gundeck, and fitting some cable to each deck in prep.

    Oh I am sure it can. But knowing my luck/life/experience I would just destroy it trying.

    Because unlike most builds there is no internal structure to support or add strength to the ribs.

    I have the same concern. I really dislike working on any internals prior to fairing the ribs, but with this build it's unavoidable. Any dust ingress I will probably deal with via my airbrush after fairing is finished. Dealing with any after sanding the planking is going to be a bit trickier...

    Video #12 Complete Video 12 was fairly straight forward. Mostly just fitting the items built in the previous video. Fitting the compartments was much easier than I thought it would be. I did have to adjust the stern wall to fit as I clearly didn't get the wall in the correct position, and the same with the beam at the bow.
  23. FifeModels
    Nor me. No idea where I am going to put this when it's finished haha Thanks

    Video #11 Complete Video 11 was mostly just building some of the internals. I will have a problem with the 4 vertical beams at the bow, as the lower compartment wasn't in the right position, but I will address that as and when.

    Video #10 Complete Video 10 is done. Stern section didn't come out as well as I'd hoped as it was quite tricky to get the slope correct. I had to use some creative licence in the end.

    Video #9 Complete Video 9 is done. Foward compartments. They are still in 3 separate sections at the moment as it made it easier to build this way. They will get joined when installing in the hull.
  28. FifeModels
    Video #8 Complete Video 8 is done. Stern compartments. Not fantastic but given it will be very hard to see it will do. For the bow compartment I may paint the parts on the fret first, I think I will get a smoother finish.

    Video #7 Complete And video 7 is done. Pretty straight forward this one. The wood for the beams is quite soft so the tool for making a groove works really well, but even if you don't have that, the pointed end of a needle file will work just as well. In hindsight I would have piggybacked the wiring into the next set and so on just as with the upper decks, just so you don't end up with as many wires. I didn't paint the frame for the lanterns as my hands weren't cooperating the last few days. 066.mp4

    Hi all. Just a very quick video showing the progress of the hold lighting. 062.mp4

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.
