vossy reacted to mtaylor in Planking questions
Hi Tim,
Method 4 or 5 will give you a nice appearing hull. Do consider using that of #5 to prevent things going wildly out control due to tolerance buildup, .. or not.
Spiling is the way the old ships were done, however. For a double planked hull, you can spile the first layer but it will be hidden by the second.
If you look at the planking tutorials at the top of this section, you'll get some good ideas.
Also, in the article database here: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-modeling-articles-and-downloads.php In the planking section is a good article "Simple Hull Planking for Beginners" which might be very useful.
Good luck.

vossy got a reaction from William-Victory in HMS Victory 1:72 with sails or not?
hello, I don't know if a sail set exists for model or if you can make one yourself, but I would love to see this kit with sails. even furled would be super and not obscure the intricate rigging work.
cheers

i would 100% get a soldering iron to bend the planks. also a metre long piece of plumbing pic pipe, glued and capped at one end to pre-soak the planks before heating and bending with the iron. also a dremel is very useful if the budget allows.

vossy got a reaction from Canute in a few start up questions on amati bounty 1:60
Hi Marv, all the pieces in the above pic were drawn to scale by Roman himself, then he had them transferred to suitable wood and laser cut. I haven't spoken to him for a long time but he did send me his plans etc. for all his upgrades. will see if i can dig them out.
cheers

vossy got a reaction from markjay in Buying an Expensive Kit and throwing most of it away
i have only 2 rules:
1. given most vessels i build are actually 3 to 4 hundred years old, i always try to throw out and replace the plastic parts that most models seem to contain. given plastic wasn't invented until 1907 i don't feel too bad about this.
2. just enjoy your build. this is not the ship modelling Olympics.
cheers
