    Looking good keep up your vit C and be careful around the admiral, when I am not well my admiral calls it man flu - in her words a not very serious condition lol. OC.

    I would suggest to start planking your inside walls using the frames as guides attaching the plankes to the inside of the frames, but also making some other strengtheners between the frames, as you will be having to make your gun ports. As long as the plankes attached to the frames are not to thick, you should be fine keeping the scale thickness of the side of the middle gun deck, as it would have been atleast 2 feet thick if not more. Regards. OC.

    Hi there, thank you for that, yep it has had a good amount of sanding, but also a couple of re-builds, the deck was re-done as I wasn't happy with the planking, its deffinatlly a case of improving the more time and more you do, I know next time I do a deck it will be even better. OC.

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.
