After the prompt reply from Rusty I started on my limber boards. (Thanks again) This involved quite a bit of trail and error so far...more error than trail I first cut and sanded the boards to the correct thickness and cut them extra wide to have material to play with and marked by eye the angle that I needed. Then set up a wooden fence on the saw so that I could rip close to the fence without doing any damage to anything. Also temporary attached a shim to angle the board to the correct angle. Ran the board down the fence to rip the angle

Hey Paddy....that Redheart wood looks really nice...will be a great touch on your cross section to accent...\ Was shipping very high from them (Bell Forest correct?) As far as treenails go I know what you mean....some people get paper cuts.....I was getting bamboo cuts from where I was splitting the skewers with a razor knife. Best of luck on the boxwood nails What would be your price per nail to make some

Russ, thanks for the reply...so far the plans are matching the model...took several measurements at different places before starting the inside. Also have been cutting each board as need using measurements from the plans and model both. Paddy thanks for the kind words.....most of what I am working out has been worked out by others long before me...I just try to remember and look at notes I take from other logs to apply to mine. I find that if think through the problem in a way that I would have to show and tell someone that has no knowledge of what this is (like myself :mellow: ) I can come closer of doing a descent job on my build. That's why there are so many pictures of each step. (more for me than anything)

Just a small update...thought I would post how I am marking for my planks....see if anyone out there has a better suggestion than how I am doing it. First take the measurement from the plan Transfer it to the section. making sure to locate point next to keelson in middle of the frame (glue joint as a repeatable reference) Using a 1/4" x 1/4" aluminum angle for a straight edges, should not have any bend or bow to it. After marking each frame, checking measurement down from previous work to make sure have same gap from end to end and side to side And here is where I am at now If anyone has a suggestion please post. I take all type of critizism good and bad. Just can't spell worth a @!#$

Thanks Joss Had time to work on it a little this morning so decided to install the Lower Deck Clamps. I am hoping that doing this I will be able to install them at the correct height and if any adjustment is needed will be able to correct width small amounts on different planks for any errors that will creep in. I noticed in the Midship Cross Section Plan that the top of the deck clamp Item#12 was almost flat. So I made some sanding stick in order to get the angle correct. Here I temporary clamp them in place Made up some sanding sticks of sufficient length to fit between the frames with 100 grit paper You can see the angle I need to sand to for proper fit Doing this gave me multiple reference marks along the clamp Mounted them in my small vise and used a 3/8 hand chisel to remove the wast and cleaned up with some 220 sandpaper Temporary put back on cross section to check for level Then glued them in place Once these dry will move on to the next ones

Hello everyone!!!!! Seems like a long time since I had anything to post. Returned from my trip, got caught up on my yard work and resumed sanding on my cross section, I wish I was amberdextrious so my left arm would be a big as my right arm from all the sanding I am pretty happy with the way it has turned out and satisfied with the inside fairing...will consider this done. The outside need a little more work on one side and I will consider that done. Here's a few pictures of my progress Will now start sawing out some of the inside planking (limberboards and thickstuff so as to start assembling them

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.
