Steve, I used medium zap on all my planks, it made the job a million times easier, I also used PVA on all the edges, which was messy but worked great. When I finished the planking I mixed some epoxy and coated the inside of the hull to prevent any planks from coming loose and expansion/contraction. JJ

I'm not sure which is more impressive, your rhino model or your real one.... very nice! -

Definitely keep this project on the same trajectory, it would be an Injustice if you dropped the ball this late in the game. I've been following the caf builds as well, Tom is very innovative in his designs and I'd love to build Belona and Enterprize but I would implement a lot of what I've learned with the Winnie build to bring them to the same level of detail. You're catering to a different level of modelers. I'm striving to design my Portland project with all of this in mind. JJ

If you have a flat enough sanding block and enough patience it works great that way. regarding feedback on your part designs, I think they work great and yeild wonderful scratchbuilt like results, definitely do not simplify anything as you will sacrifice detailed and accurate results. I find this project much more challenging and therefore much more enjoyable and rewarding to build. I don't think I'll ever build an out of the box kit ever again after this experience.

Looks really nice Kevin, this kit clearly has lots of potential beyond the box. Maybe you’ll inspire Tom to offer or include the lower decks. JJ

I had the same problem, I discovered that indeed the lens in the upper left is the way to go!

That looks awesome Chuck! out of curiosity, even though the forward gunports are typically closed, would there have been guns up there or did the ports serve another use? Same with the aft most ones?

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.
