    Plated Iron Hull

    in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck

    Posted

    I've not seen that method.  There was a builder on MSW 1.0 and I think did a bit here on 2.0 who was building a destroyer or cruiser using printing plates, which are thin metal.  I'm not finding it... so I'm not sure he did carry it over.

    Thanks for the idea. Serendipitously I have a 4' 8 1/2" Hog Islander 1:48 scale hull to plate AND some old (I think Offset) printing plates a mate gave me. Did you ever find the info?

     

    Cheers from the Heart of the Continent

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.
