    This micro miter box was a life saver. It cut my time by at least a day. I discovered something while planking. Sharpies are great, but either they need to dry for a good while OR wood glue dissolves the ink. When I started laying the planking, I made an inky mess. I tried to sand it off and you can see the results. I kind of like it though. It looks weathered.

    It is an understatement to say that I have never done this before. I found the model at a flea market for $20. it sat in my basement workshop for 6 months before I even opened the box. Having never worked on a wooden model, I’m sure I’ve made every mistake possible. It wasn’t until I hit my first snag that I started looking online for help. I still think the instructions were written for a master builder. Too many important facts left out. I didn’t know to bevel the hull planks, so I improvised with Gorilla wood filler.

    Mike, I can definitely do that.

    Thank you palmerit. I understood that reference.

    I’m a noobie, so I don’t really understand your reply, but I think you restated my question. I know it I supposed to fit, but it doesn’t.

    I am getting ahead of myself, but I don’t know what to do about this gap. Do I trim the piece or build up the hull?

    I’m a pastor in rural north Georgia and I acquired a swift 1805 pilot boat model. Had a lot of fun over the years with plastic models but this is my first time ever working with a wooden model. I’m trying to just follow the instructions. My personal opinion is that the instructions in this kit leave a lot to be desired, but I’m working on it.

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.
