Can you make a template from the plans? I think that would be helpful in getting the shape correct.- 855 replies

Looks like metal to me. Can't tell from the pictures that its actually wood.

Welcome to MSW. One way you can do that is to follow your topic, look to the upper right corner of the topic. There is also an index that I update periodically that you can download. It will have a link to your build log:

Hello and welcome to MSW
-
After a weeks long battle with card stock, tape, and myself, I've finally finished the 7th row. I recently discovered that planking a hull is a lot more challenging when precision is needed. I did a little preliminary sanding but not much. I don't want to take too much off since the planks are thin. I plan to just smooth out the edges and then hit it with some 800 and 100 grit to prepare for a few coats of poly. Only two more rows to go.

Okay, finally finished the 7th row on the port side. As I previously mentioned, the best solution for me was to break the the forward plank into 2 parts. I made the foremost section of the bow plank from scratch since the kit provided plank wouldn't work at the bow due to differences in my planking. This piece runs from the bow to the 7th frame back from the bow. I was able to cut the kit plank 13 in half and use the aft portion to continue the row to the 14th frame from the bow as the planking there was right on. Plank 14 from the kit was a perfect fit for the aft most section of the row. Time to finish the nails for that row and then on to the 7th row on starboard side. I will most likely need to take a similar approach on that side also. Not as pretty a planking job as some I've seen but I'm happy with it so far. I haven't done any finish sanding yet so don't judge me 😬

I thought it was made from metal. Very realistic result.
