In the kit area is a pinned post with lists of build logs. I went ahead pulled down the current log (it does get updated) and there's 4 builds either finished or in work. Have look at them as it's a good way to feel for the model and what's involved. Wooden Ships.pdf

Actually, scroll to the top of any page and hit "Group Projects". The Triton is in there.

Well, we have to be able to explain where all the tools and piles of wood came from.

I read somewhere (maybe a woodworking page) that either or but be consistent.

She's one beautiful airplane, CDW. From her lines to paint and decals that highlight it. -
Back then, they did things one of two ways as there was no laser cutting. They either printed the parts or die cut them with metal die that usually went dull pretty quick. As for cutting, it looks like you'll have to cut even the big pieces as they're not cut all the way through. Sort of like scratch building except the parts already drawn on the wood.

Beautiful work, Dan. I love the photoshopping also. I wish New York wasn't so far away.

Thin hull planking
mtaylor replied to Gerarddm's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
A couple of ways.... Order 1mm thick sheets and cut for the width of the plank. Or..... Cut it with a small table saw as close as you can. Then run the cut pieces through a thickness sander. If not thickness sander... hand sand very carefully. -
Welcome to MSW. As far as learning planking... there's some tutorials pinned to the top of the first page in the planking area here: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/14-building-framing-planking-and-plating-a-ships-hull-and-deck/

Hi Jeff, welcome to MSW. You've received tons of good advice already so enjoy the build and open a build log. The log will be the best way to 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.
