    Such clean work! A joy to look at! Chris

    Finally catching up on your build. Amazing work as always Maurice. I’m currently about half way through the second planking on my Alert. I’ve been referring to your builds among others. It’s great to be able to see the detail to help new guys like me get a grip on this planking thing! Looking forward to seeing this come together. Chris

    I ended up, not that I’m done, putting in a stealer plank around midship. I think it will look ok. Even though I’m covering it I’ll still be taking photos and they live forever. The pdf helped Fritz! Barkeater I think I’ll basically do that with the second layer. 👍

    So, I realize this is the first planking and how it looks isn’t that important as long as it’s smooth at the end. I’m trying to avoid any issues on the second layer. As you can see from the picture I didn’t taper the planks well and now I have a small area at the bow to place 4 planks. What would you do here and how do I avoid this on the final layer? I’ve looked at a few “lining off” videos and they are kind of confusing. When making the initial lines to make “sections” I’m just not sure where to put them as I can put them anywhere. I started lining off the first layer but I made it way more complicated than necessary. Thanks for your help! Chris.

    Great job Chris! I really want to try a card model myself soon.

    Congrats on completing her. She’s a very interesting boat. Great job!

    Truly a beautiful model. Congratulations on the completion.

    I made a raised “desk” that goes on top of my desk. Like a watchmakers setup. I can put tools under it that I’m currently using. But to be honest, I usually reach around…
  25. Desertanimal
    Congratulations on completing her! Truly inspiring work. Chris

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.
