    Second Layer Planking Guide

    in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck

    Posted

    Chuck and Russ,

     

    Thank you for the advices. I've read those articles, but I understand them more clearly as I practically build the model :) Doing the stuff teaches a lot.

     

    Maybe it's not a perfectionist approach but I will use the kit planks. Let's see how it happens for the moment.

     

    I understood and liked the "cap of the pin" trick, I'll do it also.

     

    Thanks again.

     

    Baris.

    Second Layer Planking Guide

    in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck

    Posted

    Hi,

     

    I'm a novice modeler who is trying to build Gretel Yacht at the moment.  I'm about to finish the first layer planking already. My question is, how will I plank the second layer?  How will I stabilize them on top of the first layer planks as the glue dries? Should I pin them? I don't think the pin holes will look good afterwards.

     

    Also, I'm concerned that the second layer planks are very thin (0.5 mm). I should not spill excess glue on the planks, they will look really bad. I've read the planking guides on thie site but I couldn't see proper visual guide for this second layer planking. If you can lead me to an article, I would appreciate very much.

     

    Thanks,

    Baris.
