    Fantastic work and nice to see you back at it

    So sorry to hear this Kevin and I would have done exactly the same thing as you.

    Tobias in hindsight I should have used your method as it's far more accurate than the way I made these parts. When it came for me to apply the planking to the dogs legs I had to thin them out to get the correct hull shape. This pretty much showed my errors in the way that I made them. I can see by the way that you have made yours you will not have the same experience as me. I shall be using your method on my next build and thanks for sharing how you did these difficult parts. Cheers Mark 😃

    Nice Job Tobias they are tricky parts to make.

    I have to say that your work is fantastic - Great joints and it's so symmetrical too. I found that making the fashion pieces correctly to fit the wing transom and filler pieces was particularly difficult and you have smashed it - top job!

    Hi Nic and welcome - thanks for showing your grandfathers build that really is a lovely ship. If you would like to get into ship building get in touch with @chris watton as he supplies the most beautiful kits. He's based not far from you in Gloucester

    To be honest I have liked all of the variations of this piece so I guess it purely comes down to personal taste - Looks great

    Hi Tobias and thanks mate - I like to draw every strake as I firmly believe that if I can draw them I can make them. Nothing worse than trying to make major changes half way through the planking. My marks are very much a guide but they do let me see if I'm roughly on track.

    I've spent the last few days marking out the strakes which is pretty time consuming. I wanted to stay as close to the plans as possible and try and achieve a nice even look too. I like to use automotive lining tape as it's nice and flexible - the only issue with this sort of tape is that it doesn't stick very well to the wood. So after using tick tape and a planking fan to mark out the master frame I started the job. My planks work out to be 9.9mm wide on this frame so I'll cut them to 10mm as my measurements are probably out a bit. Lining the stern Then the Bow I have one stealer in the stern straight off of the garboard plank and one drop plank towards the bow. So it's just as the plans suggest. I had better start cutting some planks now and get on with the job Mark

    My build is out of square by roughly the same amount as yours. It won't notice as it doesn't on mine - keep going as your work looks great!

    Hi Brian and thanks for your really nice comments. You're spot on about how people have no clue about how ships were made and they probably have no interest either nowadays. I too really like the frames of this ship but this little vessel has always been a learning curve for me. I need to know that I can plank the hull as it should have been and I would like one side finished so that my family can see the ship without having to imagine it. The port side however will stay bare from the whale down so that the frames will always be visible. Cheers Mark

    Thanks both - purely a fluke on my part I'm only fully planking the starboard side and I'll clean up the port side as it is now. I think that this will give a nice perspective on the finished hull and the work underneath.

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.
