Impressive - as usual, Amalio!

I'm relieved that you didn't use a sledgehammer to align those frames, Gerald! It's always a delight to read about your methods and processes and see the results. And yes, I'll be patient until you reach the turnbuckles.

See my illustration of a fixed block. I only found this out from the extract of the draught shown a couple of years ago. It makes sense for repair when necessary. Fixed block rev.psd

Good to see the hull growing, Ben, even if it is slowly. Don't forget to add the 'ears' on the fixed block later.

Miniature plywood
druxey replied to Kurt Johnson's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
I've used Titebond without issues. Remember to to make a balanced 'sandwich' with grain alternating directions at the gluing face. The glue does re-activate with heat, but I'd be concerned about how deep into the layers heat would penetrate. Heat is great for simple veneering, though. (See John's posting, above.) I apply Titebond generously and clamp the assembly well with waxed paper or cling-wrap to contain squeeze-out. -

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.
