I had picked up this kit online and was very excited to start working on it but unfortunately I only got as far as the framing up of the hull and the decking before many things got in the way that caused me to shelve it until now.

The last step I finished was to add the deck planks but this is where one of my many questions start. The instructions say to lay the boards full length and then pencil in all the details which I originally had done. However I see that most guys elect to cut the planks to length and then install them which I've decided to do as well so I removed the strips and am starting over. My question is that of length. How long should the planks be. I haven't found any reference as of yet.

Please advise.

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.
