They are just duplicate parts. Only use one set. This is a challenging first model but the build logs here are a big help. Don't be afraid to ask for help.the folks here are very willing to help.

It's been a long time but I'm back at it. I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to get the shipyard more organized and have a ways to go before I'll be happy with it. I'm going to have way more modeling time now and plan to take full advantage of it. I managed to get the deck done and finished with water based stain and wipe on poly and install the stanchions for the bulwarks. The bulwarks were soaked and clamped to the stanchions with cloths pins and will be ready to attach tomorrow. It's not much but it's progress. Here are a couple of pictures.

Chuck, the Yellow Cedar looks great. Will you also use it for the keel? You say it's softer. Does that mean it's also more flexible? Does that matter in this case? I'm only asking because as a newbie I'm trying to learn. I know the planking and other structure will add rigidity and it won't undergo the stresses of a real ship so maybe it's not an issue at all.

The hull looks great Mario. I also really like your wood choices. It's will build into a beautiful ship.

Tom, will you include the building of the case as part of your log? This is something I'm a bit worried about as my skill level improves to the point I can build a large ship and do it justice.

Generic Sharpie by DocBlake

Looks like your off to a great start. Count me in on this one. -
Your inboard planking sure looks nice Mick. The whole ship looks great and is really coming along. I know what you guys mean about clamps. I've found cloths pins to be very useful and their inexpensive to boot.

Sherline mill and lathe questions
alde replied to Landlubber Mike's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Mike, I just have my lathe and mill mounted to 3/4" plywood then just C-Clamp them to the workbench when I use them. I don't have the floor space to dedicate to too many tools. -
Rusty, between your beautiful workmanship and Chucks engineering genius that is turning into one fine model.

I ordered mine a couple of days ago. I was just going to look into making one but I would much rather have Jim's. His quality is second to none.

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.
