Glad to hear that you're happy with the new deck! John -
Thanks Michael. I was toying with the idea of joggling them into the counter frame, but I think that was done more on the Broome boats rather than the Thursday Island boats. Johnb

That was a very brave move, but if you're not happy with it, the only way to go! John -

What a beautiful yacht! Your model is coming along very nicely. John -
Russ, it may not be apparent in the photos, but the after planks twist almost 90 degrees! John

Time for another update. It's amazing what a little extra time at the museum can do for progress! Three strakes of planking completed already. Here are some photos to show progress. The first plank fitted! I decided to start at the sheer strake as it's essential that the sheer line is accurately determined and the rubbing strake goes on over the planking on this ship. Three strakes completed and she's really starting to look like a ship now. The first batten will come off before the fourth strake is fitted. The planking under the counter. Only two strakes are visible here as the sheer strake butts onto the fore end of the counter rim frame. On some luggers the after end of the planking is joggled into the rim frame like deck planking.

I wondered how I missed this thread, Mark, and then realised that you started it while I was away on holiday. What a great project. I love this type of small yacht. John

Looking good, Augie. Just tell the Admiral that when it's finished it will go wherever you want it to go - then run like hell. John

A tricky job to get them tensioned at the correct length and at the same time not put too much pressure on the shrouds. Very nicely executed, Danny. John

Time for a visit to the optometrist, Row! Probably an optical illusion, mate. John

See, I said I was getting a little more time at the museum. The outside of the the hull is now faired (although I'm bound to find minor issues as I plank) and the planking battens are in place - on with the planking! John

Hello Lee, and a warm welcome to the forum. That's an excellent start that you've made to your 'Alert'. John

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.
