Hi Chap, Nice work on the Bounty, looking 100% Interesting that you are looking to an R/C Aircraft. I used to do this a few years ago but I was a "Shocking" Pilot, so, I found Ship Modelling.... Cant "Wipe Out" a Ship Model in a Cabinet!! (You're doing things in reverse!! ) No, really, go for gold Man!! (I Look forward to your "Shore Leave" progress.) Cheers...HOF.

Hi Chap, Have a look at the pictures in the URL that I gave to you pictures from the URL that I gave to you. Use these as a guide, you should be able to calculate joggle interval from these. On the Plan View Pictures, Stem and Stern show 5 joggles each. I just had a re-measure of mine, 12.0mm interval. The template is a very good idea!! Cheers....HOF.

Hi Chap, I printed out the Plan View Photos of the Deck on A4, the photo of the Bow Plan view was large enough for me to more accurately judge angles, Etc. So, if you haven't got a Table Saw, do you have a Razor Saw? you could use this and support the Mahogany on some suitable "Scrap" wood? In my Kit, there was enough Mahogany to allow an error or two, I learnt a bit too. (Its just the "Cross Grain" cuts, "With the Grain," no issues as long as you are using a new Blade.) Cheers....HOF.

Yup, A push of the wrong button.... Anyway, here you go: Pen Duick Deck procedure, (For me anyway), as follows, probably easier to give you the "Full Monty" version. (I had the same question ) I started with a Margin Plank, I had some 1.0 X 3.0 mm Mahogany strip lying around, I guess you could use the Basswood that the Kit provides, just personal choice, I used the "Micromark" planking Clamps to hold the curve. (Make sure the Margin is perfectly flush with the outside of the False Deck as all subsequent Planking follows this and gives symmetry both Left and Right.) For the King Plank, this is 15mm? (Cant Recall.) Anyway, King plank cut to length, C/L drawn on, my Joggle interval was about 15.0mm along the C/L from the termination of the Margin Plank. (I guess that it's dependent on you deck planks, anyway, it should just flow after the first couple.) Vertical cuts about 2.0mm each side of the King plank and tapered back to the Apex of the next Joggle, about 80', if that makes sense. (A bit of trial and error here, keep in mind how long each segment of the King Plank is and how many Deck Planks are Joggled in to each.) Planking laid from the Outside In and slightly tapered where it meets the "Joggle." (Caulking is Pencil rubbed on both sides of each Plank.) (The Mahogany used for this is very brittle, all cross cuts were made with my Proxxon Table Saw, cutting with the Grain, "Super" sharp Scalpel.) Note: The Mahogany is very brittle "Period", very easy to fracture the Deck House/Skylight components!! Don't forget the Centre Line on the False Deck!! Have a look at the below URL. I printed these out, (A4), to assist with calculations/guesstimates ) http://5500.forumactif.org/t1271p50-pen-duick-d-artesania-latina

Hi Chap, From my perspective, I wouldn't tear off what you have already done. This is double Planked, Yes? If it were me, I'd continue with what you are doing, make it a learning experience.... If you end up with "Longitudinal" gaps between adjacent planks, you don't have to rely on Filler alone but you can cut material to fit the gaps. Once the first cover is done, Fill/Sand and try to make the second cover as good as possible. (This is what I went through also with my BN II, if any consolation.... ) I found also, that it was best to move on and "Make Good" rather to "Tear Down" and try to make perfect. "Perfect" will come with time, at least, that's what I tell myself. Cheers....HOF.

I printed these out, (A4), to assist with calculations/guesstimates ) http://5500.forumactif.org/t1271p50-pen-duick-d-artesania-latina Sails? I initially thought that these were o.k., not so in my purchase.... Main Sail - Too short lengthwise by abbot 10.0mm, Both Boom and Gaff Flying Jib - Acceptable Fore Sail - Too tall Jib - Too tall Top Sail - surprisingly o.k. The "Hemming" was not good, at the apex of the 3 Fore Sails there was a huge excess, "Lump" of material. I think that the material "Weight" was probably about right for the Scale. Maybe I got a Monday Morning or a Friday Afternoon Sail set. The Kit does provide a plan for Sails if you wish to make or get someone to make them. Maybe it was just my particular Kit? Anyway, It's proved to be a really good build thus far. Happy to try and assist/offer advice if you decide to take the plunge!! Cheers....HOF.

Hi Carl, Thanks for that. BNII was my second attempt at building a Model Ship. This was complete a few Years ago but the Model Ship Forum that it was initially on shut down. Since there are several BNII Builds in flight at the mo. I thought it opportune to resurrect my BNII build log in the hope that it will assist. (Still working on the Pen Duick.) Cheers....HOF.

Hi Chap, Thanks for the reply and compliment. The Cabin Tops are "Planked" with "Ramin?" (May be a little difficult to see from the photos.) The Skylights also have a Walnut Veneer on them. Deckhouse sides planked with Walnut also. (Tabs got covered up.) Port Light/Holes are aftermarket from Hobby World, Montreal. (Glassed Brass, I had to have something better than the A/L offering) Rigging was Simplified as per Mr Earl's instructions. Anything that I can help with, I'll try my best to assist. Cheers....HOF.

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.
