    It's a very nice little kit so far. The laser cut plywood bulkheads and keel are very cleanly cut. No burns!!! No char, and no soot on my fingers. The tradeoff might be that the plywood is so hard it sands like rocks. I used a file for much the fairing which was no big deal because the fairing consisted of mostly easy beveling of the bulkheads and keel. The bulkheads slid into their slots on the keel without any filing. The first layer of planking is going well. Haven't had to use any shims on the bulkheads so far. I threw out the plywood stern blocks and made my own from basswood scraps. Much easier to sand and shape. I also brought the block up level with the top of the first planking instead of to the bottom of the first planking. That way I eliminate their methed of covering the block with an alternate sort of fanned out short and bent planking. That's all for now

    Looking great! The detail of the metal engine looks like it could run. The box doesn't indicate that so I assume it's a nicely detailed non runner? I built a Midwest Models steam launch with an engine that runs. Cool little kit. *Following

    I'm looking forward to watching your build. I built the Midwest version of the kit years ago. It still looks beautiful! I was able to protect it from my wife's feather duster, unlike some other of my models .. lol

    Thanks Rick! I appreciate that

    Bluenose. 1921 preparing for a race. Thanks to Nova Scocia Archives for giving me permission to post. Nice people there. This is how I intended to display my Bluenose model, dry docked with the two sails furled. Should look very cool! Beautiful ship! Also, as in this old Bluenose photo, I plan to let my planking detail show under the paint. Once I get a coat of primer on I'll be able to see the effect. If it's too much, I may have to do some selective spot filling. I put a couple of coats of shellac on the planking to seal the wood prior to painting, and to see how the deck may look finished in shelac. Should look nice as long as I keep glue residue off the deck planks.

    Thanks so much, Dave

    The planking is done! It was a fun part of the project. But good to be on the completed side of it. Next up is the so called monkey railing then some railing paint. Paint the hull first? Or plank the deck? 🤔 I'll have to give it some thought. Some notable faux pas along the way: -Set the xacto knife down on the bench and it rolls off and stabs my foot. -Both hands busy with the model, set a tool down right into a puddle of freshly squeezed glue. -Set a tool down and it magically disappears.

    Looks like a fun kit. I'll be looking in

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.
