    Thanks carl, doing the other side tomorrow, then I will be placing a false keel and stern post section/s of planking to make it all flush and to create a scalf joint mid point along the keel then I will be working on the front adding detail planking from the keel to the stem. OC.

    Hi folks, Firstly can I take this opportunity to wish everyone a great holiday and seasons greatings, hope santa brings us "big kids" some lovely kits or building stuff. I also want to thank everyone for the kind comments/remarks and help, and all the like button pusher's. So where am I at now? well I have nearly second planked the lower hull, just two planks either side and a few dropped planks, then it will be ready for a dry day so I can sand it down. OC.
  23. Old Collingwood
    Just want to add folks - the look of my second planking isn't her final appearence, as the rough look will be cleaned up with some light sanding, and all the marks (most of it dried pva glue) will sand away nicely (I hope) OC.
  24. Old Collingwood
    Very nice. OC.
  25. Old Collingwood
    More progress with the second planking following my pattern - getting there I think. OC.

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.
