I believe that it's: Row, row, row your boat Gently down the stream, Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream! But we digress again. Nice to see the population increasing, Steven.

Planking help
druxey replied to Sheerline's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Lining out for planking involves two separate steps. The first is scientific: dividing the surface to be covered into equal width belts. (I suggest four.) The second is art: looking at the hull from all angles and adjusting the belt divisions into visually pleasing lines. Read the planking primers on this site for full details. Also I suggest using black thread rather than wood strips.- 4 replies

Remember that the gammoning has to pass between the head timbers (those are the vertical ones (as seen from the side) supporting the rails.

HMS VICTORY 1765 by albert - 1/48
druxey replied to albert's topic in - Build logs for subjects built 1751 - 1800
Coming along nicely, Albert! -
Pre-dye the planks, install and smooth, then retouch with a small brush and buff. The dye blends nicely with itself. Please mask everything else first. It's amazing how far tiny droplets can fly - much like the coronavirus! If you can work with the model on its side, then at least you won't be working across the model and fighting gravity.

Not entirely pointless, Keith. Someone, a century or so from now, will discover the hidden 'portrait'. I hope you identified the subject!

I look forward to seeing how your collaboration develops! Nice effect on the deck, HH.

Absolutely, Frank. It's so frustrating that we are losing answers to many questions 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.
