    Dampen the damage area, it should lift some of the indentation

    Yes but the loss in flexibility is not an issue
  20. paul carruthers
    I always pull my thread thro’ beeswax and then hit with a hair dryer when under tension, minimises the fluff.

    If you have to enlarge the hole use a band of cartridge paper to hide the gap, it’s all painted black and will not be seen

    I used a mini iron, the type used for covering model aircraft, I lightly wet the planks as per Chuck’s lateral bending method but I bent the planks into shape on the hull’s primary planking and held them in place with the iron, it gave a good result. I found chamfering the rear top of the planks essential to a tight fit.

    It’s worth the effort in the long run.

    What hides the dark centreline where the etched deck is joined?
  35. paul carruthers
    Thanks, gives a real image of the size.
  36. paul carruthers
    James, can you include a few shots of the full hull with your hand adjacent for size comparison, thanks.

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.
