    They are cut perfectly. You will see once I get the top plank installed. I could just imagine all the bevelling I would had to do otherwise.

    This little boat has a fairly sharp bow, Take a look at the real thing, and a lot of work is needed for the model.

    Mike, The planks at the stem are all to be leveled. The boat is clinker built so there is a lot of sanding once all the planks are in place. I was wondering about it myself, but I have dry-fitted the remaining five planks. The planks are all laser cut! Which is amazing. And oh my, there will be shaping and sanding! Thank you for the observation, though!

    Totally agree with that statement too.....

    Mike, Yes, there is a squeeze mark from one of the clamps. I used wrong one at that time which was stronger than I expected. Will never use that clamp again.

    Hej Torbogdan or could it be Tor, I have been following your build log of the Fokker. Amazing job! That video clip with Mikael Carlsons flying was great as well. I found another link you may like. Click here to get there.

    Weflack, That picture with some editing can be taken for a painting. I like it very much.

    Kenny, I know it's not mentioned, it should. I think the majority of us that build the longboat used the stiffeners.
  10. Nirvana
    Kenny, Those stiffeners are necessary for the fairing of the bulkheads, they can break away easily otherwise.

    All I say wow. The angles involved and is need to be trimmed for nice contact! Was sitting in the garage out from the breeze enjoying the sun and did some sanding.

    Beautiful job Steve! I used white glue instead of CA, I did it just as a personal preference.
  13. Nirvana
    I second that!

    Bjørnar, Do you speak Swedish or Norwegian? Just wondering due to the location and closeness to Sweden. Looks like 5-8 km to Swedish boarder.

    One picture is worth more than thousands of words. I was waiting seeing the Morse codes.

    Doug, I didn't even ask permission to follow. I just pulled up a comfy chair and brought my coffee along.

    Bjørnar, Warm , Enjoy your time here. We are all here for one purpose, building ships, sharing our build logs and posting questions and answers.

    Mike, Tomorrow when you turn the tug around it will look fantastic. Nothing to worry about! Best part with the tug, you don't have to worry anything about weight as we had to with the T37. Varnish and paint, yep that is what I would recommend too.... Will you plank the deck?
  19. Nirvana
    Mike, Now you are talking about making a nice tug..... On the other hand what you have right now is what I like to have as well. Good enough for me.
  20. Nirvana
    Mike, Maybe position lights would be nice too....
  21. Nirvana
    Bulwark, A warm and non-windy welcome to
  22. Nirvana
    Kenny, Warm welcome to the Longboat group. I will follow along and just pulled up a chair, but where is the coffee?
  23. Nirvana
    Mike, I thought a reduction gear was to be good as well. What is the rpm on the motor (lowest)?
  24. Nirvana
    Daria, Very nice progress You are amazing, good job!
  25. Nirvana
    Rich, That surely is deep char. I thought that my boat I currently had deep one, but yours is even worse. I am sorry. Lots of sanding.

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.
