    That looks fantastic!: Great job! You made a LOT of progress. Glad that glue worked well for you. Safe travels and Merry Christmas!

    BTW. My planking technique for my Amati build and the Bluenose build I'm doing at the same time is glueing up a plank on the model and holding the plank in place for a minute ot two while the model is in my lap. That works for me. Alternating from bench to lap. A planking stand didn't work for me at all. I make sure I wear a crappy pair of jeans to wipe my gluey fingers on. That may or may not work for you.

    Looking great, Rick
  24. TerryPat
    Regarding your question about the stern planking. The instructions have you do separate planking over the stern for both first and second planking in sort of a fan out type of arrangement. Why they do that and the advantage? I can only guess it's the easiest method in their view. Since the instructions suggest to paint the entire hull it doesn't really matter because you can use filler to get everything smooth. One could ask, why even bother with the second planking if you're going to fill and paint? Beats me.. lol I want to leave the second planking natural for my build so I did the stern section in a method I think looks better since the planking will be seen. I'll probably paint below the waterline and leave above natural walnut. I'm not interested in accuracy to the original. I simply love the lines of the ship. I know that was a long winded answer.. sorry. Hope it helps

    Heading down the home stretch. After all of the second planking is complete I'll sand it all smooth and coat it in my home mixed shellac to seal the wood. Then on to the deck planking.
  27. TerryPat
    I use this on everything. I use super glue once in a while because it can be a lifesaver. I can't stand the smell of super glue. Makes me want to hurl! Lol This wood glue sets relatively fast. No.. I never let a plank dry overnight using this stuff. After about 2 or three minutes I'm ready to move to another plank. I rarely use clamps on a plank..I simply hold it down for a minute or two til the glue sets. Yes, it's that fast. I move on to another plank. I get a lot done in a session. Are you glueing the plank edges as well as the bulkhead points?
  28. TerryPat
    It gets a little weird planking the keel. It kind of fattens up, maybe to simulate keel weights. You can see I haven't finished that are even though I'm doing second planking. Filler has been my friend there

    You can see the overlap I did in my build log. Looks like you're having fun.. Yay!!!
  31. TerryPat
    As far as the gaps at the bow.. You'll likely use the second planking so you can fix the gaps in the first planking with filler. Then be a little more precise with second planking which I find is a little easier than the first planking. And even 2nd planking you might use filler on if you're going to paint the entire hull. I overlapped the planks at the bow and sanded them to a point
  32. TerryPat
    Ok.. I'm up to speed now that I found your log. Excellent work !
  33. TerryPat
    The bow and stern blocks they supply are a real pain to sand. If you use them, a regular metal file works well . But.. you're already planking so you must have dealt with it.
  34. TerryPat
    I'm building the very same kit right now. If you have any questions about it I'll try to help. It's a fun kit. It's the Amati Endeavour J class? Plank on bulkhead? Or plastic hull? I'll be looking for your build log
  35. TerryPat
    Exact same as me. I built some wooden model boats and a ship back in the late 80's. The one ship I did was a double plank on bulkhead kit by AL. Le Hussard to be exact. It turned out ok but It was ravaged over the years by my wife's feather duster and a move from old to new house. My fault. I should have had a case. Or a note on it: Don't dust me!! It's kind of a mess but still presentable to my eyes. Work and kids got in the way until recently retired. I dove right into a couple of plank on bulkhead kits to keep me busy over this winter. You'll have fun. I'll watch for your build log
  36. TerryPat
    Very nice. I'm looking forward to following this one. What's going on with your Ebay Bluenose shipping ? Did the stagecoach get held up by bandits? 😆
  37. TerryPat
    Thanks Rick! What a great idea to do long distance model building over face time. Your son and grandson will love it! I'm building this kit for my grandson. He's only 3. I'll give it to him in a few years. Trying to decide where to put his initials on the model. Maybe on the main sail? I built an RC sailboat for my son many years ago. I put his initials on the transom. I can't do that with the Amati Endeavour. Yes! I grew up building model cars then blowing them up with firecrackers or burning them.. lol. I played with those Cox gas engine cars a lot too. I've been building things all my life. Cars, boats, RC boats, guitars, amplifiers.. you name it. BTW. I can't open the .jpg file you sent

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.
