Danny, Sorry.. was digging this morning for one to put up if no one else got it.
-
Wish I had one to put up.. found her (or it maybe ). And yes, it should go to the Ugliest Ship thread, Danny.

Wonderful work Darryl. Those chairs are incredible. I agree that we shipbuilders could learn a lot from the railroad folks.

Nice to see you're able to get back to this build, Lextin. The new formers look to give you some internal bracing.

Thanks for looking in, everyone. I'm really loving this swiss pear for the planking. It's a dream to work with.

Paddy, Since your jig is somewhat different then other jigs, the spreader at the top is an excellent idea. I think those of use who were early builders used the "Ewe Jig"... so the spreader was built-in. Most of us in the past did use spacer blocks up high and you'll be surprised at how they lock everything into place.

Michael, This build just gets more and more impressive everytime. Those beads are almost too perfect.

Thanks Michael. I'm pretty happy so far since this is first single-planked hull I've done (and first scratch). Kevin, She's going to be completely planked by Admiralty Directive.

Sanding, touch-up filling, and re-opening the gunports is just starting move along. I've hit it with 220 grit and I'll follow up with 320 and possibly 600 once the gunports are proper. I'm pretty happy with the planking so far. Photo is without flasha and colors look pretty close to what I see.

Richard, The Microlux Tilt Arbor does have a vacuum port. Hope this doesn't throw a monkey-wrench into things. -

Tom, Another heavily weathered build just showed up.... http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/3052-cr-lamb-by-rail-and-tie-interaction-hobbies-187/ He's basically a railroad type and those guys do some serious weathering.- 40 replies

Ron, Great looking ratlines. It's tedious and time-consuming but they add so much to build when done right. Yours are done very right!!!

Grant, Fantastic looking blocks even If they are "proof of concept". I like the mods to the box.

Augie, What can I say... besides what a great and fantastic build. I know you'll do a great job on Confederacy. And we'll try to keep moose, mice, popcorn, and assorted other topics away from her. So, here's the obligatory emoticons: and some fireworks

Tarawa03, I can't answer your questions as I've not done this model. I'm sure someone else will. Have you given any thought to doing a buildlog? It's a ready made way to get help and answers. It will also leave a legacy for anyone else who buiids this kit. They'll see your problems and solutions.

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.
