    The filler blocks are hard balsa that I had laying about. Frames that supported plank joins had 6mm fillers added to both sides of the frame. The model is now ready for planking.

    Extra plywood bracing was added to the cabin sides to maintain the deck curvature when the roof was fitted. All parts were assembled without glue. When all components were true and aligned the frames were spot glued with CA. This created a rigid frame that was fully glued with CA.

    All the parts were sanded to remove the burnt edges before assembling the frames.. The keel is not straight so I will brace it for assembly using a length of aluminum angle.

    The AL Belem was chosen to gain knowledge and experience building model ships in particular the rigging. This is my first build so please excuse any wonky terminology. First I have to become familiar with the forum and creating/formatting posts. The next few posts will be an experiment with the existing photos I have. The next step is to clean up the parts and do a dry assembly of the model to understand the sequence of assembly before using any glue.

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.
