    Sheer plank on both sides is fully in, and the lines are looking good.
  12. TheFace
    Thanks!

    Sheer planks installed on the front half to bow both sides.
  15. TheFace
    #4 sheer planks (bow end) bent and ready to install.
  16. TheFace
    #3 strakes on both sides installed. I started with Chuck's method of planking with a jig and a clothes iron. I feel that this method is nice to get the edge curve, and the wood is ready to lay down after the shape is bent in. I don't think I would have had an issue with #2 strake having a slight bit of pinch had I used this method for #2. Stern is out of alignment now, mostly because the false keel cracked underneath, so some minor surgery was needed to repair it.
  17. TheFace
    First two strakes installed. Not perfect but happy with the results.
  18. TheFace
    I had to adjust the garboards slightly, but after adjusting the garboard, the first side plank #2 is in place. There is only a small odd spot toward the front that should sand out.
  19. TheFace
    Opposite side garboard strake laid down.
  20. TheFace
    Garboard plank prep and install on the first side is now complete.

    Marking the top strake across the frames complete. Planning and marking for the strakes is next.
  23. TheFace
    Off to the hardware store to get some conditioner and finish to apply.
  24. TheFace
    After sanding:
  25. TheFace
    Full planking went well, and the last plank used one of the smaller spacers Chuck includes. The kit has 3 different size spacers to help with making the last plank fit really well.
  26. TheFace
    Next is planking the barrel framework. I used Tightbond on the edges, and thick CA dots on the frame connections. Plankes were given an angle to the edges with a #11 blade. They were bent using Model Shipways plank bender. Super easy and only broke one plank.
  27. TheFace
    Once everything fitted together, I dry fitted and then glued the frames. Then the caps with the laser cut frame details glued on each end.

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.
