    Number 3 is too low, it’s about 5mm bellow number 4. I’m going to file it down as suggested by “Snug Harbour Journey”. every thing else fitting together and being level etc was why I was so confused about it.

    Ahhh sorry I did not explain enough in my OP, that second photo was meant to be looked at in conjunction with the next one to show how high it pushes the panel. It is over the pointy bit there.

    Yeah three levels at the end. There’s another bit on the back that needs to be added still.

    Ahhh thanks this is exactly what I needed to hear, luckily it is only dry fitted so it will be a lot easier to file down. There is another bulkhead that’s meant to go on in a step or two. I’m very glad you mentioned that you often have to bodge things, I was stuck feeling I wanted to start doing that but concerned I’d do something irreversible. I’ll follow you’re steps and have a look at some more of the logs for more details

    Ahh sorry I haven’t explained it very well. Specifically the second rib from the back (3, the pointy one) is quite low which means the paneling either has to go down or be raised from the frame by a few mm. The paneling is also a different size to the frame piece.

    Hi everyone, I am a complete beginner and this will be my first ship - the golden star by mantua. i am sort of stuck at the first hurdle. The instructions say to glue on some wood paneling and then fit the ribs to the frame (sorry I’m not great with the terminology yet), but my model isn’t fitting together how the instructions are. Is this common when getting a model and you have to make it up, or is it a bit of a defective one . I have attached some photos because I think it shows it more than I can explain. If this is normal how would you glue it? I don’t want to make a mistake right at the start and be annoyed the whole build.

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.
