    i want to thank everyone for this info . i think i understand how the waterway works, at first i believed the scuppers were cut even with the deck, but that would make it possible for the water to get under the deck. so they cut them above the deck , now they had some water to get rid of so they installed the water ways, is this correct? , russ to answer your question i am working on the phanton. this is my first ship. i been working on it since sept., most of the time is research.

    the water way sits on top of the deck ?? i would think that to carry the water away it should be like a gutter. it should be lower than than the deck, not higher. i picture the water way to be about 3inches wide & maybe 1/4 high.can any one explain how this works?

    Russ, yes i was following his advise but the hull is not true 1 side is looks better than the other side. the templates get u close but not exact, maybe i didn't try hard enough?. i was thinking about drawing the 2 lines B1 & B2 on both sides of the model. it is too late for this model. i was thinking about the next ship model. i would like your opinion if this would help ?

    working on the Phantom, i read Interpreting Line Drawings for Ship Modelling by Russell Barnes . I understand what he is saying, my question is in order to get the hull perfect is it best to draw the lines on both sides of the huill. or try to use just the mesurements?

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.
