Thanks for the compliments! And everyone else for the likes! I really appreciate it -
Finally closed! Took a bit longer then expected because I was quite sick last week with a flu and fever, but feeling good now so I could do the last planks. I used some 1mm pear that I had lying around, because I had run out of the lime wood. Not because Chris didn't supply enough, but because I redid such large areas. This gave me the change to get a bit familiar with pear wood and how it behaves, so maybe that gives me a bit of an advantage for the final layer. I couldn't get the first layer exactly as I wanted, without mistakes and knowing exactly what I did, but I have learned a lot! So hoping that I learned enough to get a decent second layer that I could be happy about and leave it unpainted. Otherwise there is always the option to paint it white if it's not too great Now first some sanding and filling here and there to get a nice smooth base for the second layer.

Planking looks great! Don't think too much forward about how long it will take, just one plank at a time...

Really nice job in the planking!

Bristol 1775 - from Warship to Prison Hulk
mugje replied to westwood's topic in Nautical/Naval History
Even without VR it was interesting ...I did read that Chris wanted to design this one, if he does...that would be an epic kit 😮 -
Little update...i'm just 6 planks and a garboard strake away of finishing the first layer of planking. Going not so very fast, but enjoying the process. Halfway planking the hull I realized I wasn't happy with the shape of the bow and stern. I sanded them a bit to conservative and this resulted in not a real nice flow in the planking. So made the decision to brake away the planking at the places where I thought it didn't look right. So this was a bit of extra planking fun , I learned some extra bending techniques along the way, so it was helpful also. I also realized that with lining off the hull using tape that I didn't took enough time to really check the run of the tape (because the tape didn't stick well). This resulted in a bit of a waviness pattern across the hull. Therefore I did the process of lining off again, but this time with wooden battens. For me this works better because of the stiffness of the planks...you won't have to check every bulkhead if the plank waves up or down the hull. So that was also a valuable lesson for me. So first broke the planks away for reworking the bow and stern: After that I used wooden battens for lining off the hull: And now almost closed! 🎊

That is an impressive result! Congratulations with finishing this build , also great thorough review!

I experienced the same with the spacer...needed some really carefull sanding here and there 👍
-
Welcome! And love your first build, it looks great
-
I can't even remember if I l glued them straight on, or painted them after...but they can be fitted in just one way isn't? If I remember correct, they sit very tight in there slots so I think I dropped a bit of glue in there and secured it right away....but after dry-fitting everything first. Also the spacer on top.
