    Thanks Wayne. Actually, I have already taken a look onto these tutorials, and have seen a lot of Bounty pics on this forum and on some other places, but still I can not figure out how to start second planking without forcing strips to follow the line of the hull. For that reason, I asked you for help. Hope someone will open my eyes (obviously, I do not know to recognize good starting point from these tutorials) so I can start with it. Thanks again. matke

    Hi guys, I am very new in this modeling world and I started a month ago my first wooden ship model. It is HMS Bounty. So far, I have finished first planking and fairing of the hull. Next stage is the second planking, for which I need your help. I have attached few pics of my work, so it will be easy for you to understand my questions. And the question is: From where should I start doing second planking? From the top or the bottom? Strips for second planking are very thin, less than 1mm and very brittle. Also, when I just lay down one strip, shown on pic 5, it does not seem to me that I can follow the bend of the bow and stern as I saw on pics you posted for your models. Simply, I do not know how to start second planking and I am asking you for help and advice. I can provide more pics if you need in order to get clear overview. Many thanks in advance for your help. matke

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.
