, Dooder85 Maybe we can get a real name some day as well. Choose a model that you feel you can be comfortable with, start a build log and post the progress. If stuck (which will happen) we are here to help.

Next step after all the planking is to get the knight and timberheads in. First timberhead installed was a mistake, had to rip it out. Then I thought..... I have the bulkhead tops, so why not use them as a guide. With some scrap planks I had my guide. Cutting the 1/8th square I soon had my timberhead correctly cut and angled, with the planks it was easy to get it properly installed. As this timberhead is the first one installed I figured this is the way to get the remaining stanchions installed with the right angles.

QUICK-FIND INDEXES to BUILD LOGS FOR KITS
Nirvana replied to Dan Vadas's topic in - Index of all kits by brand and subject
Holy moly! What an outstanding job you have done! Am I blind or is the 18th Century Longboat missing in the listing? Edit: My T37 is also finished. -
Mike, You are doing a great job there, the rigging looks good. The idea of using the hearts from Syren made a difference.

I would be in so much trouble getting this magnificent kit. Checking my allowance for this period I am already over my budget so, for now I am sad to let it go. Would be such a good complement to the Longboat. Chuck, that is a beautiful kit.

Tim, Weird, as I look at the two Bluejacket options, one is plank of frames the other plank on bulkhead. I was pleased with the America from Constructo.

Oh heaven! I just figured out the search engine...... Once you have entered the "search word" and clicked search, down below you will have various option of how you search can and will be used. I tried that with Bluenose and instead of having more than 1000's of answers I had some 60+ all related to Bluenose build logs.

Burnside, Your final Mariefred looks great, but I would change the flag as the one flying is not correct for Sweden. Take a look the correct one.

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.
