Tompslattery Posted December 1, 2016 #1 Posted December 1, 2016 Hi all Should this part of the stern be planked? Or just painted? CHeers Tom Archi 1 Quote Current build: Le Renard Last build: HMS Bounty Jolly Boat

CharlieZardoz Posted December 1, 2016 #3 Posted December 1, 2016 Look at other cutters on this site, like Chuck's Cheerful. They all have the stern planked so I would say yes.

Tompslattery Posted December 1, 2016 Author #4 Posted December 1, 2016 Yes it's Le Renard. Should the planking go horizontal or vertical? Canute 1 Quote Current build: Le Renard Last build: HMS Bounty Jolly Boat
CharlieZardoz Posted December 1, 2016 #5 Posted December 1, 2016 Horizontal. I'd suggest looking for cutter's and schooners in the build log there are plenty Canute, Tompslattery, Archi and 2 others 5 Quote Build on hold: HM Sultana 1/64th scale Current Build: 31 ton Doughty revenue cutter as USRC Active 1/64th scale (in progress) Future Interests: Ballahoo, Diligence, Halifax and beyond...
glbarlow Posted December 29, 2016 #6 Posted December 29, 2016 Definitely planked and horizontal as shown in the photos above. Lesson for next model is to do that before running the side planks as they should overlap the stern pieces (as shown above). At this point you'll have to do the opposite of that, but its not that big a deal with sanding and once the hull is painted.
