    Russ, It's just about 1/16" at the top and gets a bit thicker as it gets closer to the deck. I don't think it will show once all the internal detail is added. At this point I think it should be ok to even it up and smooth it out. There are a couple of places at the bow that it got right down to the planks but it's awful thin.

    Here are a couple of pictures that show where I am. Considering it's my first wooden model I am pretty happy with the progress. I have gotten the bulwarks down pretty thin and it's going faster than I expected.

    What a pain. I am carving away the solid bulwarks to the planking on my Kate Cory. I have been using a gouge, chisel and #11 blades and it is slowly coming along. I'm not sure if I will take it all the way to the planks or leave a thin bit of wood to add support. I am thinking of using one of those Dremel sanding wheels with the flappers on it. Any suggestions? Al

    Your boat looks fantastic. It's very inspirational to me as a beginner myself. I have the ME Bounty Launch in the closet waiting for me to get a bit more experience and build up the nerv to start it. Thanks for taking the time to do a build log. It's a great service.

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.
