Went back to the limber boards today and I think I have worked me a solution that I am satisfied with, Instead of making separate boards for each section will make one long and simulate the seem in between each board. Less chance of loosing them Here is what I did Layed out he 3 foot sections (1 1/8" scale) and drilled 3/16" holes marked each seem with the knife blade by scoring along the lines Darkened the seem with a pencel Then sanded down the boards and this is what I ended up with This will suit me for now, unless I change my mind later on....will be easy enough to make new ones....

!@#%* hit the wrong button again.... stared with a new piece in one length and are (is) fitting this to the gap After I have fitted the board will mark off 3' length and drill a hole a little bit bigger then saw at the joint...Hopefully will work out better. The way thing are going right now..Can not type...hard to concentrate to fit board properly...so will wait until tomorrow to start again and post progress then. Thanks for taking the time to look at my post Off to the fridge for a cold one and time to relax.....

Sorry about that...hit the wrong button. to continue Ended up with an angle like this Here is where the ERROR comes into play Cut the board into length of 3' about 1 1/4" scale. Marked each board and fitted to the cross section. After fitting removed and tried (note I said tried) to drill a 1 1/2" hole in the joints ..about .0350 dia. This did not work out so good...Holes were off centered...did not align up with the board next to them and just generally looked like crap Cut to lenght Looking like !@#%& Unless your a very very very good...do not try it this way

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.
