Reached a milestone in that the hull planking is complete. I bought some walnut filler and will at a later time fill some of the wider spaces between some of the planks at the bow but overall happy with how the planking turned out. Also started to transfer the measurements from the plans to the hull, preparing the upper profiles, for gunports on the upper decks.

Cleaned up the sternpost to allow for the vertical planking. Used heat to release the wood glue from the ends

Mistake on Sternpost Planking
mrcc replied to mrcc's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Much easier that I thought... marked the forward edge of the sternpost line, scored a line with a blade, heated up the plank portion in order to release from the glue, and the plank end lifted up effortlessly.

Thanks Patrick... Yes, I have seen this build log on the Dutch forum. Thanks for sharing...

Still some small plank pieces to lay at the bow and along the keel, but almost done! Little diversion though with the castings at the stern; applied the metal primer and getting ready to paint... I am very unsure of the painting scheme at the stern as all sorts of different options on Google images. My preference at the moment may not be historically accurate??? PS These casting are probably 40 years old and given the molds were relatively "young" at the time of casting, I have to say the primed stern decorations look very good to me.

Mistake on Sternpost Planking

I know… strange! -

Thanks TMJ for your advice… yes I used PVA glue on the planks and I will take your advice of heating the planks after scoring a line where the stern post should be, and then trying to lift off the ends. PS strange that I received your advice via email but yet your reply/post will not show on the MSW web log - even after, what 10 hours. -
Mistake on Sternpost Planking
mrcc replied to mrcc's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Thanks TMJ... good advice and I may end up doing that but I think I will first try and delicately cut back those flared planks with a razor blade and fine chisel. -

Thanks Bob... Even if painting, sometimes you can see trace planking outlines and if painted, still need to tie into the stern post above the waterline... -
On my Mamoli Friesland build, I should have left the sternpost bare for vertical planking but realized late of my error. Question is pull it off to the sternpost line or leave as is as I was going to paint the waterline and below all white (which will cover the error)?

Close to the finish line...

Thanks Zappto... I really appreciate you checking in on my build log! Some progress on planking but it has been a slow go as busy with work and then away on holidays for 2 weeks in Greece. Anyways here is some progress... I did have to taper the rear stem post as I decided to completely plank the post and rudder and you need to taper back down to account for the thickness of the planks otherwise the pintles won't fit. Nothing noted in the instructions but do know this from my previous Mamoli Santa Maria build. Same for the rudder... Definitely need some fill between some planks in some areas of the hull. I think I did a better job of planking on my previous Santa Maria build.
-
Great job, nonetheless… Mamoli kits of old were such but they always seem to build out to a nice finished state. Good luck!

Thanks Ronald for checking out my build log… Yes, my wife is Dutch and well aware of the Fryslan connection. Her ancestral roots are from Rotterdam. We are in Holland from Canada every 3-4 years for a visit.
