Here we are on October 21st having completed planking the hull, having made the rest of the gun ports and having applied a first coat of mat varnish. I also used the sanding dust - which I kept in a bag - to fill up the nail holes and other mistakes I had made. Mixing the dust with some varnish makes for a nice filler that matches the wood well.

 

The hull is far from finished in it's current state. Some more sanding is needed. I am aiming for a smooth surface with no more than 0.1mm irregularities. Scaling up 0.1mm by 90 gives 9mm which would be plenty much and unacceptable for a real ship - I think.

Despite the minor issues you encountered...the hull looks nice!

Most bad things tend to happen below the waterline, but it's a fairly common practise to paint the hull white beow the waterline.

So, with a bit of filling and sanding...paint...problems solved! ;)

 

WIP: No ships atm...sorry!🙄

Completed: Greek bireme - Dusek - scale 1:72

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.
