    each class of sub had its own set of curved blocks, however the old diesel boats had a flat bottom to enable sitting on the seabed, and i remember standard blocks with wooden props to keep her upright
  3. Kevin
    from the photo she looks quite cleans so possibly flooding up, and caught by the gusting winds

    good evening everyone, the boi is very tired today, but is happy eating and woofing day 23 thank you for the comments and likes busy day in the mancave quarter galleries made up, not being fixed to the hull at this stage, but as an alignment aid the stern builds up but only to fit one piece for now and here it is the two above pices are for now soley to align this up, once happy a pencil line is drawn under it and the wood from the tuck is removed once dry, outside in the sunshine for sanding gunports squared off and first of many red coats going on, god im loving this build, and only another years worth of her left

    good evening everyone first of all thankyou for the comments wrt the the boi, he attended the vets today, and was put under, whilst they did xrays on his teeth and biopsies on his gums, on inspection they do not believe it to be anything nasty, but the results will be back in a week, no teeth were required to be removed, build day day 22 1st planking completed a bit messy in places but it went without any real issues, tomorrow is set aside and get some sanding done
  11. Kevin

  12. Kevin

  13. Kevin
    good evening everyone, thank you for comments and likes day 21 1st planking port side complete i needed to fair the parts 29 on the stern post, so i then continued with a rough grit sanding pad and gave the hull a once over, i was real happy with how it turned out, no where ready for the top coat though i am about an hours work from completing the stbd side, will try and finish that tomorrow, but the boi is in for an operation at the vets, so i might be to stressy for that
  14. Kevin
    good evening everyone day 20 1st planking the bow is 1st planked, - absolutely nothing special, but will serve as a good foundation for the 2nd layer, i look forward to many hours of sanding before that happens the stern will be completed in the next day or so
  15. Kevin
    good evening everyone Day 18 1st planking as soon as i left the make up of the hull, i have had to start thinking about things, and this has resulted in some redo's, lol no matter how much fairing you do, there is always more anyway the hull is is about 50% done and although bit messy in places, i have a sound basis to work on and yes i am still missing one part number 29 stern post filler, and the one fitted need working on
  16. Kevin
    thank you. we look forward to seeing your build soon
  17. Kevin
    everyone is welcome to follow my trials and tribulations of wooden ship building
  18. Kevin
    well im glad you sorted the deck issue out
  19. Kevin
    i use nails all the time and then remove them after the glue has set, the only char removed so far has been for fairing of the hull
  20. Kevin
    they are in now, about an hour ago, thank you for keeping me in check
  21. Kevin

  24. Kevin
    good evening everyonr thank you for comments and likes day 16 1st planking port and stbd side templates fitted stern tuck, caused me some aggro fot a couple of hours, so the fixed planks were cut back and the stern was re faired allowing the 3rd plank to twist and turn

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.
