    I"m finally catching up and my jaw is dropped and the wow's rolling forth. Wonderful work, Kieth.

    Welcome back "home", Ilhan. Great to see you back in the shop.

    Congratulations on a beautiful model.

    There are some in the scratch area of folks doing 3D work to make plans for their own models. Not sure how you'd find them though. There's also this area: https://modelshipworld.com/forum/172-3d-printing-and-laser-cutting/

    Beautiful model. I'm believing it's even more impressive in person...

    Looking excellent from here. I noticed to that the Hahn plans are a bit sparse, shall we say, in place like the bow. He admits in his books that developed "shortcuts" to work better for him. Some, are wasteful in wood, others not. Still makes for beautiful models though which is a good thing.

    Where's that Wayback machine? We really need one for discussions like this.

    Looks great Rodolfo. I did add "FINISHED" to the log title in keeping with our policy.

    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.

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.
