    You are welcome Peter. I will see how it goes with that spray can. I understand your feelings Glenn. That’s why I always use a brush but my wife was saying....try a can. And who am i to go against the Admirals order? 😛 Sjors

    @Gerry, Have faith in what you are doing. You do it better then de most of us for the first time! Be proud of it, as I should be it when this was my first planking! Sjors

    Thanks for the likes 🙂 Inner bulwarks are planked and painted. Let's move on with drilling the holes for the eyebolts and planking further on the outside. Sjors

    Derek, i was lost in the mist with that uvrou. So i look it up and maybe you know it all ready but here it is: From The Collaborative International Dictionary Euphroe or uphroe or uvrou. A block or long slat of wood perforated for the passage of the crowfoot or cords by wich an awning is held up. Now i need a drink! Sjors

    And another Flirt😁 Welcome and take your time. But most important.....enjoy! And another thing what is very useful.....Measure twice, cut once ... And i know what l’m talking about. Sjors

    Hi Derek, I love what you are doing! Airbrush is something that i have not try yet. Bottle of paint and a brush works fine for me🙂 Then something else. Maybe i understand it wrong but “jung frau” is German and not Dutch. In Dutch we call it “jonge vrouw” young woman. Sjors

    Second planking done. Sanded and so smooth as possible. It was a fun job to plank this little one I'm happy with the result. Sjors

    That doesn't matter if it is your first ship. I build a few more and you are all ready doing a better job. I take a look from time to time 🙂 Sjors

    The stern is planked . Also placed the master planks. Next update when she is closed with the second planking.... Don't think that it is the day after tomorrow because work has started again....... Sjors .

    Thanks Glenn, I just order that gorilla stuff what James is talking about. But i think that it is cheaper to get it here then from the usa...... Sjors

    I’m not a beginner but it is true what Gerry is saying. When you look at the manual you can see that it is written by a modeler him self. Sjors

    Thanks Mugje, I have found it at Bol.com 😄 It takes only 6 days before it arrives. The Flirt from Chris Watton from England was only 3 days 🤣 But no rush.... Sjors

    Thank you both for the reaction. I will see if i can find it in Holland. @SpyGlass, (Derek?) I don’t use filler, just a piece of wood. Sjors
  20. Sjors
    Thanks for all te reactions. Question. What is CA gel? Is that a kind of super glue? Never hear of it. I normally use wood glue that hold on the plank after 15 minutes and dry solid after 24 hours...... I will take care that I lay the planks smooth to each other. I know that my sternpost is a little tiny at the bottom. I was to fanatic with sanding. I hope I can make the solution to glue a little wood on it and sand it down to the same thickness as the rest of the sternpost. It's gonna be painted but I will see. Sjors

    First planking is done! On the last days of my vacation I have planked and did a lot of sanding....... Normally I take a little sander machine called a mouse but because it is a small model I do it by hand. The blisters are now on it 😢 Time to heal 🙂 I must say that the planking was not that easy... Normally I have plank models that are over 1 meter long. But I have done it. And now tho the stern.. And then the second planking. I only have to figure out how I clamp that second planking.... Maybe pushpins or those pins that you are using on a board? Sjors

    I take a seat and will follow this journey. I always thought that the Enterprise is a starship 😃 Sjors

    Nice fix Gerry! When you have place the stern with the fragile parts be careful when you are planking. It’s easy to break those parts! Sjors
  24. Sjors
    Just wow! Sjors

    Welcome home stranger! It’s nice to see you back. Anja was telling me that she see your name and say Hi to you! Let us see what you are doing with this nice build! Sjors

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.
