    It has been a rainy weekend so I decided to start in on my Model Shipways Harriet Lane. I see that the inner stem and stern posts require shaping. It tells me to trace and transfer the curved lines on to the pieces but I am not sure where to find these lines. There is nothing etched onto the pieces and no pattern in the plans. Am I missing something or is there a place I could find a pattern for these. I don’t want to freehand it thanks for any advice

    I was asking about the putty that comes in a tube

    Thank you all for your advice. Like I said I am just getting started. I do have some boat building experience but it is with small craft. This is different.

    I am new to this hobby. I am building the Muscongus Bay lobster smack. The folks at Model Shipways recommend plastic wood to fill in the gaps in the hull planking. I tried that but I also found this Vallejo plastic putty. I found it works better in small spaces. Is there a reason I should not be using this on wood. It seems to be for plastic models

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.
