  1. Thanks to everyone for your great ideas. With that, I can now move on to finishing the hull. As for a color scheme, I'm going with what John Fleming used. He hasn't completed his model as yet, but he's done a great job thus far. This is his website: https://www.niagaramodel.com/.
  2. Thank you Toni and Bob for your suggestions. I may be interpreting your suggestions to the extreme. Are you saying to not be concerned with having each plank discernible and to just fill, sand and paint so it looks like a solid hull? I attached a picture of the real Niagara to show the look that I'm striving for. 95 % of the hull of my model looks like the picture. I'll try using a veneer or just redo those spots. David
  3. Thanks Lehmann. This model is not designed to be double planked. And, you're right about "..to hone my skills". Skinning or scabbing the low spots crossed my mine a while ago. That will be the simplest fix. I think I'll "give it a go" thank you Jaager.
  4. I'm building Model Shipways Niagara; my first plank on hull model. I intend to paint the hull as recommended, but I want to make sure that every plank is discernable. Now that I'm filling and sanding the hull, I'm finding that some areas are slightly concave. The largest being no more than 1.5 inches long and .50 inch wide. (My mistake while planking). I'm thinking about filling those areas with patching compound and scribing lines to simulate planks. Has anyone done that? Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
