    All the ribs are now ready and glued in place.

    Build day: 13 4 hours today, 34 hours in total. Continuing with the "ribs" and proceeding on the stern deck. Bending the 2x2mm strips using the electric bender:

    Thank you very much for your reply, Robert and it is never too late for answer :). I think the waterway had been already glued in your case. How hard was it to remove the the waterway piece properly clean after you have used the blade on the marked lines? Did you use a weaker glue when you fixed it on the false deck in order to make it easy to rip off pieces afterwards? Or was it just easy to do it? /Aydin

    Well, I searched around and found this topic in this forum about my question above. I will check it out but any first hand experience tips are still appreciated (I tried to edit my post but Forum did not let me, therefore I had to post a new reply about it).

    Hi Bertu, Excellent job indeed. Congratulations. I have this kit as my next project and I was wondering how did you manage to get those plank nibs so smoothly into the waterways (see picture below for what I mean)? Did you first install the waterways and cut off parts as the planks come by, or did you use some other way? Can you share your method? BR; Aydin

    Build day: 12 2 hours today, 30 hours in total. Today I spent some time for installing the support bars (or ribs or whatever they are called). I used the electric hot plank bender most of the way instead of the Amati clamping plank bender in order not to make any dents, since in this case the inner side of the strips are visible (as opposed to hull planking where the outer side is visible). This process slowed down the work significantly. Here is the work so far. The boards on the floor are still dry-fitted. Thanks for watching.

    End of Build day: 11 2 hours today, 28 hours in total. Thanks for watching. Floor boards dry-fitted to see how they would look. You may notice that I also added the strips between the ribs on front deck. They look a bit different than in the plan but I wanted to do them this way. I also glued the middle seat. Time will tell if I plank that, too, or just lacquer nicely... time will show.

    Step 4: Flip the boards and sand the surface (sanding better be done at this stage, before gluing the engine box lower frames (see 2nd image): Glue the lower frames of the engine box:
  9. aydingocer
    Step 3: Cut the binding strips (which will be on the bottom, once the board structures are flipped) and glue them: I thought it would be easier to align the boards if I start by gluing the binding strips to the middle board first:
  10. aydingocer
    Step 2: Use template drawings to cut the boards from 10x2mm strips: Temporarily aligned to check that they are almost symmetric and identical:

    Build day: 11 - Floorboards I wanted to move a bit ahead and make the floorboards today. I could have continued with installing the "ribs" but I just wasn't up to do extensive strip bending work, mainly because I would have to use hot electric bender in order to avoid dents and bites. So, first step: Cut off the 1:1 scale drawing from the plan sheet and take a copy of it:

    Front deck top, wall, cabinet cover and ribs are in place. It will be complete once I have installed the 1x2mm strips along the edges of the deck and the wall in order to cover the gaps. End of Build day: 10 3 hours today, 26 hours in total. Thanks for watching.

    I reconstructed the front deck cabinet cover by carrying the measurements on a piece of paper:

    There is no option for me but to rip the decks off and plank straight on the bulkheads. There is no hope trying to reuse the decks. So I found suitable strips (slightly thicker to compensate for the thickness of the plywood deck guide) from my older stock and started planking right on the bulkheads. Note I used walnut planking on the front wall just for a change of taste.
  15. aydingocer
    Build day: 10 I noticed after preparing the decks that the panels had returned back to their warped shape even after planking them. This is really annoying. Check the photos below to see. Especially in the rear deck (left side of the photo below) it forms large gaps in the sides and does not sit on the bulkheads properly. Morevoer, I had already glued the front deck
  16. aydingocer
    Thanks Per!

    Build day: 9 4 hours today, 23 hours in total. Today I continued planking the front and rear decks plus front deck wall. Strips used: Main planking : 1x5mm, Middle of the lids: 1x4mm Frames of the lids 2x2mm (inner part), 1x3mm (outer part), the outer part strip is glued on its 1mm edge, hence it is higher than the lid's middle area. With the one in my previous post, they are altogether 4 pieces. Thanks for watching.

    Deck sheets. They are aft and stern decks, walls, seat in the middle etc. The sheets come with fake lines to simulate planking and you can leave them like that if you like but I wanted to go for real. I found some leftover 1x5mm strips and I will use them to plank. Planking starts: End of build day: 8 3 hours today, 19 hours in total. Thanks for watching.

    Clean up by rasping, filing and sanding:
  20. aydingocer
    Then, it is time rip off the bulkheads from the lines indicated. They come half pre-cut and as I mentioned I had put masking tape on those sections which will be removed, where the plank strips rest on, so that it would be easier to rip off. This is a bit a rough job where you use violence at some points, but overall the process went well. Sometimes I had to be cautious so that I did not rip all the part at once but instead ripped it piece by piece (see photos) For example here I break the bulkhead piece by piece until I reach the line: Quite an amount of rubble:
  21. aydingocer
    Once satisfied with sanding (150 grit followed by 240 grit) it is time to remove the supporting dock:
  22. aydingocer
    Build Day: 8 Continuing with filling and sanding of the hull. The entire hull will be painted on the outside therefore you don't need to care too much about the filling material showing. I used the same white wood filler as in my previous project (i.e. Riva Aquarama. Except in that one I had used it only on first planking) Waiting for a couple of hours and then sanding:
  23. aydingocer
    Build Day: 6-7 4 hours in two days, 16 hours in total. I have managed to finish hull planking in these two days. Tomorrow I hope to spend some time for rough scraping and first sanding of the planking. After sanding it will be filling the gaps with wood filler and fine sanding. Maybe so far there was nothing too special to show, but after the hull has been completed I hope to show you fellow forum members more exciting (or at least interesting) stuff on this beautiful Turkish boat so keep following. Here are some photos of progress. Thanks for watching.
  24. aydingocer
    2 more strips on each side. There is about 4-5 lines of planking left on each side. This is the status after day 5. Thank you for watching.
  25. aydingocer
    First planks to be glued on the bottom. They will rest on the keel from the sides with an angle therefore it is essential to chamfer these strips along the edge with an angle: Following this rule, they sit quite nicely on their positions, after a little bending and warping with the plank bender:

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.
