    Finished the second layer of planking I did not taper any at the stern Once sanded I used Tamiya 2 part polyester putty ( Works well on wood ) on the seams ect The Wales were then fitted carefully following the laser cut line on the bottom of the Bulwarks. Rudder post installed Things will start taking shape at a nice pace from now on Fun build looks very accurate from all angles too which is very good Cheers Lee

    100% do it again you will be happy you did as its one of the first parts you look at on a ship and the masts and bowsprit look great.
  23. Lee Spender
    Nicely done it's always a good milestone getting the first planking out the way also good idea using a piece of wood as a temporary rabbet I will try that.
  24. Lee Spender
    Looking good and good idea with the pins
  25. Lee Spender
    Good luck with the second layer
  26. Lee Spender
    What a sight I don't think there is anything more beautiful than a ship of the line with full mast's and rigging

    I just ordered this kit for my next build so watching with interest and you have made a great start.
  29. Lee Spender
    I do like the CA method though especially with the shorter length's I must try Titebond Just ordered Vanguards HMS Speedy might try Titebond when planking that hull
  30. Lee Spender
    Just a little update on the second layer of hull planking I started off by using single full length planks but my thick CA was drying before I could get them to lay down the way I wanted so another approach was to make the planks a close to scale length which made the job a lot easier to manage each plank laying down and conform to the hull shape so far it's working well for me and I like the look. Back soon when done. Lee

    No worries Dan no need to rush.
  32. Lee Spender
    Thank you Chris and a very nice kit
  33. Lee Spender
    First layer of planking complete and faired ready for the second layer. I used tamiya tape to get the width's of the last plank Trying out my new Japanese mini Plane to remove the scorch marks from the keel I might leave this face unpainted The outer bulwark layer was dry clamped to the roll of tape and left for a couple of days The outer Bulwark layer was glued with dabbing on small dots straight from the bottle and the fit looks to be very good. Thank you Lee

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.
