Because we are gonna have a new computer this evening a quick update. The hull is closed. It was not an easy job and I must say that it is not the best hull planking. Only because it's single planking ! But I'm satisfied and I will keep it this way. For now pictures of the planking without the tung oil. Later this week the pictures with the tung oil. Sjors

Hi Elijah, A little progress..... Yes ,i did. It was for me easier to do it this way. I can turn her upside down or backwarts or forward or putting her on her head or bottom without damaging the hull. Only the frames a little 🙂 And it give me a nice different look at the two kinds of wood that I'm using. Sjors

Thanks Martyn and Popeye, @Martyn, It is not so stunning as it looks at the moment. I just love the sanding paper and sandingmachine...... I try to bend the wood but 3 planks will not bend at all an the next one will. So i'm happy that i have enough wood to break...... @Popeye, You are staying to long away to see if there is a lot of progress 😆😆😄 By the time you will take a look again, she will be finished 🙃😁😆😀☺️😃 Sjors

Looking great Hennie. But i have a question... Are you follow the manuel when you are building? I see decorations, a few walls on the deck but also that you need to plank the hull further down. It looks to me that you are damaging all above when you turn the ship upside down to plank the bottom. Maybe I'll be wrong and is this the way it should be. Sjors

The rubbing strakes are on........ At the bow not a problem but at the stern, don't talk me about it. But it is done. I know that I have to do some modification on that but that wil be done when i finished the hull planking. I also put the frames and gunport lids. Now I can put het at every side that I want and has no fear to damage something. Only the starboard side is done and now I will go to the port side. After that planking again. 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.
