Nils, Your metal work is absolutely amazing. What clamping arrangement do you use to keep it all together while soldering? Bob

Among the drawings of the schooner Lettie G. Howard there is this one drawing of a typical frame. In the middle of the deck is shown the king plank, which in this case are several narrow planks. It also shows the king plank raised above the deck level. This frame is in the area where the deck is lower. The question is, would this same arrangement of the raised king plank also be on the raised portion of the deck? Bob

Tom, Michael, thanks for looking in. I'm with both of you, I am also looking forward to what is next. The Lettie seems to have a mind of her own, but I do like where she's going. Bob

Look at jewelry sites for lost wax casting or centrifugal casting both are used for silver and gold casting which are high temperature and give fine detail. Bob -

Good start on a boat that can be fun to build. Bob -
Nice start. There are quite a few build logs of this boat here. Search them while the glue dries, but mainly have fun. 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.
