    Ulises, Maybe there is something else what you can try.... Instead of a very small piece at the top, you can cut two planks the size you need to get to the top. So bottom plank has his own size, two next a little smaller. There is a next planking goes over it ? Then they hide the two smaller planks. But you are on the right track! Sjors

    Thanks Ulises, And thanks Nigel. I understand all of it. And I must say...I love the idea what Nigel is telling you. So let me see the final result Sjors

    Ulises, You have to help me with this.... The first plank goes under the metal gun ports..... The second one above , you have to glue that against the lower one......because there is no other support. Then you are working to the top... But when I see it right, you have to cut the final plank that goes between the gun ports.... That one has to be glued to the 2 planks in between..... That's gonna be precise working then...... Sjors

    @ Sam, I think that's the same I'm using... Maybe a different bottle but the idea is the same @ Alistair, Thanks !! I will take a look at you log. But I just want to do time her work When I'm 90 years old, maybe I look also like patina, same as the plates Sjors
  14. Sjors
    I wonder why you bought a kit ....... Amazing what you are doing ! Sjors
  15. Sjors
    By the time she is finished....there is patina ! Sjors

    JP, Maybe a stupid question or something like that but.... Those blocks on the bow, what is the purpose of that ? To get the planks on the bow going smoothly ? If so, why not changing it with Balsa. Much easier to work with. You can sand, cut ,shape it in each form that you want. Sjors P.S. apology excepted !!!!
  17. Sjors
    Perfect symmetry..... That was the word I was looking for ! Sjors
  18. Sjors
    You can use it also for that Augie. I have to put a little layer on it, brush it a little, then with a little water I remove it and then with a clean towel I have to dry it. And it looks great ! Now nature can do her thing Sjors
  19. 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.
