    After some further research it is noted that after paying the hull, a thin sacrificial layer of planking might be installed over the brown stuff. If tis would be hidden should I just leave the hull walnut?

    I am finishing second planking for my Corel HMB Endeavour. A question has come up for me about the colour of the hull below the wales. Jotika and Victory ships show the painting of the live work to be white. However in Marquardt's book on the subject he states that the ships hull was payed with 'brown stuff' a mixture of tar pitch and sulphur. Cooks recommendation for white lead paint was applied to later ships. Does anyone know what colour or how I could replicate this colour could be done?

    Okay so now I remember. It is the Mantua Tools Strip Clamp and Hull Holder. Available at Ages of Sail.

    Hang on there Baba Louie. It is not the Amati keel clamp I use, sorry. I'll have to use the Googler to find out which one it is as it isn't marked. I can send a pic if anyone is interested.

    I have the Veritas Miniature low-angle block plane from Lee Valley. I clamp planks etc that require tapering into my Amati keel clamp. Because the top of the clamp is metal I can slide the plank to the correct height and slide the plane across without worrying about any wavy cuts. The plane is a very good piece of kit, well worth the expense. If you live in the States, a bonus for you. Due to the fact our dollar is trading like the Mexican peso you'll get it for a steal.

    When I built my 1/72 Revell HMCS Snowberry I left all the parts on the frets I ordered from Great Little Ships. I then taped them to a flat surface and sanded them with a fine sandpaper. Just easy swipes across. This helped rough them up a bit so I could airbrush them with a very light blast of primer. I bent and attached some of the small parts then hand painted them. The larger parts like the funnel and wheel house etc, I built sprayed and weathered them them as you would the kit part it replaced. I wanted an accurate look to this kit. On some of the wooden model ships I've built I have left some of the items brass or steel just for interest. But it's your call.

    I have tried to open some of the tutorials but get an error message Ooops! Your site is not published. Did I do something wrong? D.

    Hello everyone. I'm a new kid on the block. My mum gave me my first model when I was 6. That was 63 years ago. Over the years I have taken great interest in wooden ships. I am now building the Corel HMS Endeavour and I look forward to advice from your members. Thnx D.

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.
