Getting the insight of an instrument maker on working with wood to make a boat should be interesting. You’re doing fine so far. Bob

Bedford, It was obvious from the start that you wanted to build this boat your way and liked figuring out how to do it on your own. That is why I only answered questions and did not tell you how to do things. I’ve enjoyed your creativity and am anxious to see the finished boat in the water in full operation. Bob

John, Alfons, tarbrush, Popeye, thank you all for the encouraging words. And now for one of the joys of the Darkside. How to make that round stern on this boat. I know, I must not think about it. I must trust the Force and just do it. Bob

First off I need to say thank you to all those who look in and click on the like button. It’s so nice to log on to MSW and see that red signal that says someone likes what you said or did. Again thank you. Now to get on with the boat. The planking is almost done. A little more clean-up in the stern and mount the transom and keel. Also the planksheer so I can mount the stanchions and the bulwarks and then paint. Wow, I shouldn’t list things like that it makes it sound like a lot of work. Anyway here’s the pictures. Bob

Yes, welcome to the darkside. With such fine drawings you should have fun building this lovely lapstreak boat. Bob -
The Brooklyn is a nice looking tug. I remember it in wood several years ago when I was into RC boats. The plastic hull is nice for RC boats, but there is nothing that says the rest has to be plastic. Since you are a wood scratch builder why not build the rest in wood? You’ll be more comfortable with wood and the finished boat will probably look better. Which ever way you go you should have fun.

For those of us who do not have the plans in front of us or a mode to refer to, she looks great. I see no mistakes. Bob

I use a similar torch to silver solder and to anneal brass. 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.
