    I agree - starting one of these kits is quite an undertaking! The Marie Jeanne had sat in my garage for 15 years - and I'm sure the planking had matured and stiffened in that time. The Will planking seems more supple. I'm hoping it is easier to work with!

    Now have the bulwarks in place and the deck. Onto the difficult part - the planking and the bottom of the hull. Once I have sanded and shaped the stern and bow bulwarks I think I will glue and pin the bottom of the hull to the bulwarks having first softened it in hot water. Is there a risk of shrinkage as it dries or tearing if I pin it?

    For me, as a Londoner a Thames Barge is a special part of our river heritage. The Will Everard is still on the river albeit a pleasure boat now. I am going to build this kit as a working boat pre-engine as far as I can identify. I'll adopt the grey and white livery that I can see from post cards and other builds on this site i.e. pre-P&O green as used in the kit. So, I'm hoping to do this one justice although it's only my second wooden boat kit. My first was the Billings Marie-Jeanne - so I am under no illusion about the quality of instructions!! So, any hints, tips and advice are welcome!

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.
