Welcome Kudin A magnificent looking model, please show us some more photos. Thanks Chris

Thanks folks for the look, likes and info. Good evening James I am putting a big effort in trying to get the planking done technically correct. I think. Spiling has started on most planks. As i made a comment to Don at one stage and now I have to live by it. Practice makes perfect (yeah one day maybe), even though I am thinking of having a go at copper plating. Would it look silly just to copper on one side. Thanks Chris

An update this morning before i go out to do some chores. Planking is progressing slowly. I ended up dropping 2 1/2 planks at the bow and 1 1/2 at the stern under the wales. One stealer and one more to be added. And despite by best hopes and with madness setting in it looks as though i will have to spile so I am experimenting with edge joining planks, but will wait and see what I have to do. The"planks" will tell, they know all ! Hooroo Chris

Sounds like your having a ball James, powering along with the research and the boat. Leaving me way behind, (which is good), working out all the details for me to pick up later, 😉 Cheers Chris

Well done Dave, a very fine achievement indeed. And with the case looking so good as well, it makes a perfect item to have on display. 🥂 Cheers Chris

Good evening to all and thanks for the likes and looking in. I tell you lot something and then do the opposite. Middle aged male disease I think lol. I decided to put the lower wale trims on to help me work how to go about the planking. The strips supplied are 4.5mm wide so not much scope for spiling. I will probably have to drop 3 planks under the wales at the bow. the rest I don't know. Chris

Hi James looks very nice indeed, you have captured the ship in the picture spot on. Chris

Time for an update, a little one as they usually are. The planking has extended down a little bit to include the under wales strakes. And I have bent some of the wale trim strips and clamped to have a look. They will stay off for now whilst i go down to the keel and start planking up. Later on I will do the wale planks in an anchor stock pattern. There will 1 plank dropped at the bow, under the wales maybe 2. Hooroo

Your boat James, your model, put it on if you want. it would probably good for others looking to see what it is without asking. Did you see this i put up last night. -
Hello BE Very neat detailed work with anchors, little cutter, actually the whole lot as usual. These boats are way more complicated than i would ever have guessed. It does look a bit tight around it, and in the way of the cannons. You will work something out I'm sure. Cheers Chris

Well if that's the case Jim. "We won't speak to her." So you go right ahead and have a ball doing lots of modelling. And welcome to MSW

I don't know if it has been mentioned before but it is available on Google play books to read free along with various other rigging, mast making, ship building books. Hooroo Chris

Wales for Mermaid
Cabbie replied to Cabbie's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Hello BE Yes That's what i was thinking, but I will have to look up top and butt. It would be very adventurous with the wale material supplied, .4 mm thick, brittle, mahogany, but do you know if there any rules for the size of proper scarf joints? Might paint them, was thinking of painting them black and around the gun ports. thanks Chris
