    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.
  4. 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?
  10. 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.
  11. Nirvana
    Mike, Maybe position lights would be nice too....

    Bulwark, A warm and non-windy welcome to
  13. Nirvana
    Kenny, Warm welcome to the Longboat group. I will follow along and just pulled up a chair, but where is the coffee?
  14. Nirvana
    Mike, I thought a reduction gear was to be good as well. What is the rpm on the motor (lowest)?
  15. Nirvana
    Daria, Very nice progress You are amazing, good job!

    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.
  17. Nirvana
    Scott, Warm You have now found a new homestead. Thank you for your service.

    Mike, the pictures you uploaded is of S/S Blidösund, which also is a Steamer. Edit: She belongs to Waxholms Bolaget, the smoke stack gave it away. And you are 100 % right, about Inland traffic with Mariefred and archipelago traffic. I think it's time to give CaptainBob his build log back. Sorry Bob

    Denis, I still like the build of yours. So unfortunate you have to live with the "like" clicks.
  20. Nirvana
    Denis, Do you mean its being used to much? Sorry in that case I have no solution.
  21. Nirvana
    The first set of simulated frames are installed. I had a big sheet of Basswood laying around that I used, that I stripped using my balsa-stripper tool. Even though the majority of this will be hidden underneath the interior deck I know it's there.

    Derek, I use that type of gloves when it comes to cutting meat. Better a sharp knife than a dull!
  23. Nirvana
    Kees, Looks like spools used in sewing machines.......

    I am so glad having the amazing fine-tooth razor blade saw. Makes it so much more easier to cut the tabs remaining after laser-cut. This specially with thicker material. Dry-fitting items is good to, then I will see what is to come and be expected. Obvious there is a lot of considerations. The deck is laser-cut with grooves. Okay I got to admit, with the kingplank it is perfect. But then again, my scratch mind started working. Since I am to have bulkhead strings under the hull planks and interior, I started wondering if I should plank the deck with separate planks?! Something to think over, I don't have to make any decision right now. I can make it easy for me or make this build longer time-wise. Then the open area, in the cockpit and seating I am to have the "simulated bulkheads". See starboard side of open area of the ral boat.

    Bob, I take it you have done a lot of research before approaching this adventure. Found another picture of Mariefred dated 1903. Don't know if you have it or not. But others following your log, it could be interesting.

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.
