Ah yes, that's why there needs to be a float test before everything gets covered up. And again and again, when you are satisfied, you seal the insides. Bob

Thanks Lawrence but it’s nothing compared to your Annie By the way, they’re the same scale. Thanks Popeye, but if I keep doing, “minor adjustments” I’ll never finish. And then the admiral would . . . and then I would . . . Better not go there. Bye Bob

Hi everyone, thanks for all the good words. Sorry for the delay, it was just a little thing called life that got in the way. Jparsley, I don’t blame you, I want one too. Full size of course. Mark, in the 60’s I lived on a boat and there were two cruising style dragons nearby. I still remember how gracefully they moved in and out of the harbor. Bob

Thanks for the folding chair pictures. Don't worry we can see the skill even past the photos. Bob

She's looking better all the time. If they're not glued in yet how about a picture of a folding chair. Bob

Well here I am again. Eight days to build the Cockpit area, planked floor, benches and cabin bulkhead. I got this far and it did not look right so back to the drawing board. The cabin hatch was too small so the benches were too close together. Make another bulkhead, it doesn’t work either. Turned out the width of the deck opening was too narrow. Once that was fixed everything went together. So that’s what caused the time over-run. Now on to the cabin walls and cockpit rails. Until next time. Bob

I can just imagine your thought process. ‘Now let’s see the hull is . . . but the interior is . . . so I need to . . . but if I do that I can’t do . . . and then I’ll have to.’ Wow I’m already lost but you just keep on building as though it’s not a problem. I don’t know how you do it but I sure like what you do. Bob

Mark I agree The cabin would be very tight with just the bare essentials, if that much. To answer the question, both are correct. The cross member in the model will support the cabin bulkhead. The cross member in the racing dragon is for main sail control. Bob

"It's always a balancing act between what can be seen and not seen at this scale." Very true, very true. Bob

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.
