    End of day 2: I've decided not to start over as I'm not confident I'll have enough wood. The hull will be covered by the nice planking after filling and sanding so the only evidence will be some imperfectly aligned planks on the inside. Today I finished putting in the inner planking for the starboard side of the hull. The stern is coming together fairly well but the bow makes me want to gouge my eyes out every time I see it. Tomorrow, I plan to have the inner planking done and maybe even filled and sanded.

    Starting a build log of my first real boat model - I have completed the Artesania Latina HMS Victory cross section, but that doesn't require planking or rigging like model ships tend to. I started building this new model by just going off the instructions and after the first day, I had built the framing and the first 5 planks on either side. However, today I realized that I needed to look into proper techniques in order to do it well - I had glued and tacked the planks on wet from shaping and they shrank overnight, leaving unsightly gaps. Fortunately, this model is double layered so the gaps will not be visible. Today, I've been reading guides and will be trying to determine if I have enough planks to start over properly or if I just need to make the best of what I have already.

    Hey y'all, decided to join after reading a bunch of useful posts as I bungled through my first model. Don't have a lot of experience with modeling, having only built a few plastic models in the past. However, wood models feel much better to build so far and I'm excited to continue developing skills.

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.
