    I am a carpenter by trade, so I am thinking about a board that is not flat. If you grabbed the ends of a baguette in each hand and turned one hand clockwise and the other counter clockwise, that is the kind of twist I am referring to.

    When I noticed the problem, the second layer on one side was CA glued on and I am not sure how to remove that. I guess I could try to remove everything down to the bulkheads with aggressive sanding, but I am moving forward. The hull was painted white today and I am waiting til morning to do some touch ups before I remove the painters tape so I can take one of those pictures that will show things better. I have been very impressed with the quality of this model and I am sure there is more that I can learn. This is my fourth model after having built a couple of midwest boats and the longboat from model shipways. I have had problems learning experiences with each of them, just steps on getting better. Thanks for all the replies and DMs

    I've really been enjoying my vanguard model's Sherbourne build.. It has been a great Christmas present. I followed the instructions on first planking, ( I added 2 planks on a side and attached with the brass nails before switching to the other side and adding 2 more). When I started the 2nd planking with the pear wood, I did just one side entirely and got about a third done with the other side when I noticed that the hull was twisted. I am puzzled on how I did this. All of the laser cut MDF parts fit together well and with all the parts and layers, it felt very ridged. I do not believe that the way I did the second planking could have done this since the first layer was solid and dry. SO did I screw up the first layer of planking? I feel like I did 2 planks on side A, then 2 on side B. Then back to A and then B. Did I somehow twist it by always adding the new layers on side A first? Any thoughts would be helpful. In the picture I attached, looks like the keel is perpendicular to the hull, but the keel in the bow it not on the same centerline with the stern.

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.
