    Hey howya goin all, got a question about Planksheers/Sheer Strake on my Galley Washington the Planksheers/Sheer Strake is about 300mm (12") long look at pic, where would I put the joint I don't want to cut it out of one piece, also what type of joint would be used? You can make a copy of this pic and draw on it roughly then reposts it if that will make it easyer for you. It doesn't have to be exact noone's going to see it but my mum and I.... Oh and some of you who look at the build log hahaha. Edited in, the model scale is 1:48

    PS - I have never tryed this on raw timber you may have to put down some sanding sealer first. Ever since Pledge stop selling this in Australia it's not cheap for us to get it from anywhere else in the world compared to normal bottle of hobby gloss vanishes.

    Hey howya goin Ulises Victoria mate, pledge floor care aka Future aka Klear the original one was and still is depending on where you get it in the world, used as a cheap alternative to those little hobby bottles of gloss varnish, for ship modelling say you paint your hull and want a gloss finish you could use pledge or anything else you want a gloss finish to, you can even get a dull finish with it by holding your air brush further away from you model when spraying it, practise this before you try it, if your ship has decals they should ALWAYS be put down on a gloss surface so to stop the from silvering you can do this by brushing on the area that the decals will go with pledge. Hope this helps mate.

    Hey howya goin Steve mate, thanks for stopping in and following mate. I only use the nozzles for running long lenths of very thin glue on thin strips and I use an upturned small paint bottle with a little ripped piece of foil on it when I'm using PE and just throw away the piece of foil away when it gets to much dryed glue on it

Hey howya goin all, just a quick update, heres a funny thing, after I cut the strips for going around the trunk I stained them to make them stand out more from the rest of the trunk the thing is the trunk is made from Walnut, the strips are made from Walnut, I stained the stips....

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.
