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.
Help with identifying pieces of San Francisco 2 by Artesania Latina
in Wood ship model kits
Posted
Hello, This is my first time here so sorry if this is in the wrong place.
I'm building the San Francisco 2 and it's my first wooden ship build so I'm having a bit of trouble identifying which wood is which. I was hoping someone here could help?
I have attached a photo of all the pieces I'm unsure of because they aren't labelled and the manual doesn't do a very good job in identifying each one. I'll list the names of each piece and hopefully someone can match it up with the ones in the picture.
I'll write the list out in the same format as the manual separated by '.......'
Reference number, description, number of pieces, measurements, material.
The number of pieces would be different to the picture if they've added spares as well.
25.... Deck bratticing ........ 1 piece..... 0.6x5x500.....Mahogany
26.... Edge of the fore deck .... 1 piece .... 1.5x3x500 .... Mahogany
27.... Bulkhead lining .... 7 pieces .... 0.6x5x500 ..... Mahogany
31.... Deck stringer .... 2 pieces .... 2x2x500 .... Apple-Wood
32 .... Rubbing Strakes .... 4 pieces .... 1.5x3x500 .... Apple-Wood
They might not be in the photo but if I can at least identify some of the pieces that will set me on the right track and make working with the others easier.
The first three types of pieces in the photo are arranged thinnest to thickest and then the random other pieces are on the right. They all came bundled together so I've had difficulty figuring out which piece is for what.
Any help would be much appreciated.
