Harbor barge hull planking
Baker replied to Canute's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Maybe this is interesting for you. Found it on a pdf (the construction sequence of the princess channel wreck) -
Scratch building is fun. But take your time and think before you start to build something. I sometimes forget that last one... And then there is only one solution for me, build again

Thank you, I read somewhere. Spanish prisoners found the living conditions below deck dark, cramped and unhealthy. They were right

Diluted Tamiya dark sea grey XF-54 for the deck (1/3 Paint 2/3 isopropyl alcohol ) After drying, the deck is matte. Polish then with scoth brite (green color). The more you polish the more gloss on the deck. Sides of the planks are painted with Tamiya German Grey XF-63 Black as caulcing gives too strong a contrast in combination with the gray of the deck. Then it looks like the wood is weathered, and the caulcing is not.

Welcome to MSW and good luck with the Cutty Sark

I have finished planking the deck. This work took a while. To prepare each plank separately before gluing on the model, takes more time. The advantage is that no more sanding has to be done on the model. So there will be no dust on the model itself. The base for the whip staff has also been made. It has not become a deck with a nice equal planking scheme. So, my apologies to everyone who does not like this. Whip staff deck Thanks for following

hello Steven, If I see it correctly on the photo. I think your first frame on the upper right side is not in line with the rest.

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.
