    Hello, In the interest of aiding in the creation and printing of tick strips and planking templates for wooden model ship hulls, I have created a hull planking calculator. This is free (as in beer) desktop software for the Windows OS, created simply out of curiosity and research into model wooden ship hull planking. If you are interested in checking it out or testing it please download the latest release from GitHub using the link below. Use the release link in the lower right of the GitHub page and download the .zip file. There is no install just an .exe that can be placed where desired. I usually keep it on my desktop. After download and extraction you may be asked by Windows to allow the .exe to run on your machine. Hull Planking Calculator Please read the included help text by clicking the large (?) icon on the right side of the form. Any feedback is welcome and I will do my best to answer any questions. Thanks, Mint

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.
