    I appreciate the offer but there are around 50 of this type of part. After thinking about this for a while, I think the best way to go about this is to just find a paint that can match the color of walnut.

    I am working on Corels HMS Victory which has pressed moldings in the kit. The moldings are nothing more then wood filler molded forms. I have the hull already done and did not plan on painting this model. I wanted the beauty of the walnut to speak for itself. My problem is that these molds will not take stain right and I don't have the tools to create these molded parts out of real wood. I am trying to figure out a way to make this happen without painting or using real wood. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    the picture of the plans was to show that they didn't show me anything underneath the stern counter (I didn't know the name of that piece untill today)

    The infill blocks is a great idea. That also answers another issue in the same area. Thank you very much.

    This is the CSS Alabama. On the stern it tells me to run planks up and down at the very end. The planks at the bottom die in before the prop area, but nothing shows me or tells me how to do plank the middle.

    Its not Model Shipways so I have to fix it. I made sure that the ribs are square with the keel. I just have to straighten the keel on top so I can plank it.

    This will be my first attempt in planking a hull the right way. My frame pieces are already glued on and I have the bottom of the keel in a jig. My problem is the top of the keel is still warped and I'm not sure of how I should correct it without putting on some planks. That seems like the most difficult solution. Is there an easier way then making a complicated jig for the top of the keel?

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.
