    Have you looked at the planking tutorials here on MSW? They are located here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/98-planking-downloads-and-tutorials-and-videos/

    Welcome to MSW, Peter. Andrew gave some excellent advice on where to ask this question as well as his above response on documentation. The discussion area he referenced will get your questions more "eyes' as this basically just an intro area.

    Welcome to MSW. The benefits of a build log are that let's all the member see and follow and.... comment without have to go off site. It is also a great way to get help when you need it and also to help others building the same model.

    I'm jumping in a bit late to this..... as far as the keel bending..... make sure the bulkends fit onto it with minimum resistance. A tight fit at the "notch" will warp a keel real fast.

    The pictures of 1 and 3 look to be the same planking to me.

    By the way, I should to my above comments a bit. There's a lot on the web about this ship including some papers of researchers. It's worth the dive.

    Hmmm.... pros and cons and like Jerry, happy to see that kit gone from the market. To turn the AL kit into the 1855 ship (going from fiction to reality), it isn't that hard, all things considered. Have a look at my log where I did this.

    Offering the books to others isn't a bad thing, IMO.

    Valid points. I forgot that it's one thing to do some for one model and another to mass produce a bazillion of them.

    Hmm. Could those be done with sheave holes just dimpled and they buy would have drill them out? Just randomly thinking out loud.

    As I recall, those fitting kits were separate items sold separately from the ship kit. They do seem to be rare birds at best.

    Congrats, Glen. I'm just gobsmacked by this build.

    It still us great and even bigger and better from what I've heard from family. You'll definitely need more than a day to see all of it. And it's still growing.

    Smok, I suggest you open a build log for your model(s). It's a great way to get help and also meet others.

    Those are Hunt's plans. I've have yet to see anyone finish one of his designs. To my knowledge there are no CD of Hahn Plan however, there is one source I'm aware offers "legal" Hahn plans.... https://www.modelshipbuilder.com/ I've bought some from him in the past and he's not shady and delivered a good and legal product. By legal..... he's just the middle man between the buyer of the plans and the Hahn family.

    As I recall from 20 years ago, the B-36 was outside. There was small fuselodge of one inside the museum that you could walk through. I suppose one of these days, I should make a trip back to my old home town and visit the museum while I'm there.

    Welcome to MSW, Yann. Do open a build log. It's the best way to meet others and also get help.

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.
