    good evening everyome Day 19 full frames and cants i delayed putting the cants in for as long as possible, they seamed quite difficult, so best to leave them, but the time had to come i may have mentioned it previously. that there are laser etched lines on a lot of the ribs, these provide a rough fairing line, so the same goes for the cants, also there is a angle template provided for each numbered cant to help achieve the correct angle, this template is to set up the bench sander at the correct angle, mine kept moving so i devised my own answer by gluing the template to the cant and then sanding to the correct line, it worked having done that, i then found i did not have enough room to get access to pin the cants, so i removed the top level of the jig glued starboard cants 2 to 7 in position, when the glue set, i removed the hull from the frame to pin, this will be repeated on the stbd side the hull drops back into the jig quite easy, im not sure how difficult its going to be to put the top level back on

    its taken me 4 days to think of an acceptable answer, and i still dont have one, for me this works well, and it gives use without the skills to make a semi decent representation, in a much shorter time, however i wish i had the skills to do my own full scratch, after all this is still just a kit

    lol i told the wife and her reply was, dont understand why you didnt order it all at the same time, it would have cut down shipping costs and export duties

    hello and welcome to MSW

    Good evening eveyone day 17 fitting frames 8 to 26 this morning i managed a better clean up of frames 8 to 26, and made a decision (right or wrong) to go ahead and fit them, the elastic bands keep them in place whilst the glue sets, they have been pinned to strengthen them, the yellow lines are just highlighting the fact that frame 14 is not fitted, as it needs to be remade, no fairing of internal timbers has been made, other than removing the laser char,

    stunning

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.
