Here's an update of my building report: After completion of the frameworks it goes with the planking on. The plank width is 2.5 mm. 10 planks must be installed per boat side.

Hi Remco, thanks for your nice comments. Here I want to show you the basics for the construction of the two boats.

That's the theory; soon it then continues with images of the model practice ...

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.
