Welcome to MSW, Alexis. I hope you'll open a build log so we can follow along.

Congratulations for a successful launch and first sail, Steve. She looks really good in water. The waterline might be a little low but if it moves well, don't worry about it. I do like Legodude's donation.

Finally... an update. The two remaining small boats are on hold for now. I needed a change of pace and break from those fiddly things. I've installed the forecastle and quarterdeck beams. And also installed the pumps. Clearances have been checked and re-checked for rigging to come at a much later date. Next up is planking the decks and associated bulwarks. I'm starting with forecastle. Here's photos: I had to get the camera repaired and it would appear that the repairs were successful. Till next time.

African Walnut is one tough wood to bend without splintering. The big thing is heat and lots of it. The soaking is just the means to transfer the heat. You might try putting on a pot of water to boil, insert the wood and then after boiling for a bit, depending on thickness, try bending. It may take repeated times to do this.

Practice makes perfect they say. Well done, Kevin. Do look for that Cool Jell that Jack recommended. It will probably make things easier.

You're alive, you love and build model ships. And you're not a kit pirate. You're good enough. -
Wonderful work, Kortes. A master's build to be sure.

That engine will look spectacular, Nils. The clutch lever and power shaft are very well done.

Almost time to start singing "Row, Row, Row your boat". Your oarsman looks pretty good as he's putting his back into it.

Planking Model Ships
mtaylor replied to alpayed's topic in Planking Techniques's Planking Downloads and Tutorials and Videos
I'm going to move this topic and pin it in the planking area. I will get more visibility. -
Define "best". Different modelers will take that to mean different things.
-
Do make sure you start a build log. It'll be the best way to get help and questions answered. If there's specific problem/question that no one answers, post it to the proper section and those who don't follow build logs because there's so many of them, will probably see it.

I think we're all looking forward to a successful launch and maiden voyage, Steve.

Vanguard is Chris Wattons's company. He's dd a lot of work for other companies designing models for them. Caldercraft is one of them. He has at least one topic here on MSW discussing his new company and models and the first one is now available. Use the search feature and plug in Watton and you should find his posts.

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.
