Ah... back and catching up. The concession stand was packed and all they had left were chocolate covered peanuts. They're warm and if tossed, they stick to the wall. Hmm... tasty though.

You're right Carl. That is the Batboat. Now to get the Batman theme music out of my brain.

They may be commissioned Karl, but they are worth every penny. They set off your ship as something special by complimenting your fine detail work. -

Hi Mike, Welcome to MSW. A lot of your questions will be answered once you have a model in your hands. The best way to get answers and help is open a build log. Fairing the hull means to sand/shape it such that there are not dips, bumps, etc. All curves are smooth and follow the lines drawing. Garboard plank is the plank at the keel.... Rabbit line is a line that the garboard will fit into in the keel. A good, inexpensive reference book (there are errors in it but it give a good overview) is zuMondfeld's "Historic Ship Models". Fairly inexpensive depending where you look online.

Wonderful work, Piet. Looks like you're on the right track. Lou has a good idea but I wonder what the model RR guys use for their static displays. That second to the last photo looks very realistic, IMO, as does the water and the shell splash.

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.
