Question re "Line Off"
glbarlow replied to JohnWW's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Typically the first marking is with a wider plank, I’ve never had this as an issue. -
Question re "Line Off"
glbarlow replied to JohnWW's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Absolutely, it is good practice. lining off is tedious but the results is worth it. It applies to any and all wood model ship hulls. Nothing detrimental or any impact at all on the rest of the model. Kit instructions would never cover anything of this detail and seldom offer any help at all on planking. -
Best Marine Salvage Airbags for Lifting Sunken Vessels?
glbarlow replied to wildtmpckjzg's topic in Nautical/Naval History
That’s a rally big model ship….which is what this forum is for I thought. -
I felt the bits were horribly out of scale (post #19 in my Nelson log linked below) and scratch built my own, something to consider. You’re doing very nice work.

Thank you all for the kind words. Building Winchelsea was a wonderful journey. Perseverance is probably a better description, I was committed to doing a step or task over and over until I got it right. I didn’t want to look at it years later wishing I spent a little more time fixing something.

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.
