I think it's fair to say that machines of war tend to be purpose built and that human comforts, such as we know them, are not a high priority. I've found this to be the case whether we're discussing battleships, aircraft, submarines or tanks and also regardless of the era. How 'romantic' could it have possibly been making one's way at night up to the head to use a seat of ease in heavy weather in February??? Sailors in the age of wooden ships must have been one tough bunch.

At 350 hours into the build, it's time for an update. The second belt of planking (of 3) has been completed from the garboard on up, P/S. Since the next belt will close her up, I took the opportunity to give the inside 2 coats of diluted PVA. I like the way that seals the inside and stiffens her up prior to sanding. With the false deck in place I will obviously not be able to glue the center section but 'two outta three aint bad'. Though most of the planking is 1/8 x 1/16 basswood, I've snuck in some tapered 3/16 x 1/16 in the stern to try and minimize the need for stealers. Will definitely need about 2 drop planks up in the stem. Next will be the 'Super Bowl of Planking'......the 3rd belt. But not before the real game today. My team is in it -- GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!! I'm hoping to leave this lower hull planking a natural, lighter color then that above the wales. All depends on how this next step comes out . Should be there before Spring ---- at least according to today's Groundhog forecast.

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.
