To fix the bulkheads, i first made a cart template using the side which was not damaged. Afterwards i glued the template on the bulkhead. I then filled the voids at the corners with some wood filler. Once dry, i sanded the corners smooth. I remade the part that was to much damaged, using some old plywood i had lying around.

Hello everyone I'd like to start a new log for the Yamato. This kit is the one DeAgostini brought out a couple of years ago here in Belgium. I was able to buy this kit from anoter shipmodeller who had lost intrest in building her. He let her go for only 50 € so this was really a bargain This is what i got : I must admit i'm a little terrified of the adventure ahead of me, after watching the the superb logs and builds of Greg's Yamato and Carl's Musashi. The latter being the Yamato's sister ship. I hope i can do her credit by building a nice model of the greatest warship of her time.

What an enormous amount of details! I've started a Yamato by Deagostini and will be looking at your model a lot. It's so inspiring.

Hope you don't mind having me along. Interesting project! The Revell "Golden Hind" was one of the first models i've built as well, about 25 years ago.

I progressed on the cabin. I made the hatches. They were used to store the cooking gear and other stuff. First i had to make some dummy beams to provide some support for the hatches. I made those from some scrap plywood on which i matched the curve of the cabin walls. I glued them in place and let them dry overnight. After marking the middle of the cabin with the laser i placed some cherry planks. Then i filled the open spaces with the maple planks. I had to to taper 5 planks on each side in order to fill it up nicely. Then using a scraper, and sanding with different grits, I obtained a smooth result.

Wow. Superbly done. Beautiful... -
I've continued working on the cabin. I measured the place where the crossbeam must fit in the planks. Afterwards after sawing i glued both planks in place and let try dry overnight. I then made the tree pieces to cross the cabin. And glued them in place.

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.
