This might sound silly but I am busy marking all the bulkheads for the planking. I see from the center bulkhead going towards the stern they are pretty much the same but my question is how do I do the markings at the stern? -
Ok back on track. Repaired and fixed what I destroyed yesterday and got the two sheer planks on. Been reading alot on other builds ( thank you Steve for the links) and ready to start mapping the planking.
-
Thank you steve ripped them off and smashed a lot if pieces. Definitely getting a lot of practice LOL. Thank you once again for your help
-
Thing are already ugly lol. But I'll patch up and get it going. Thank you for all your help. as you can see i need it lol
-
Thank you once again. I'm such a doofus. I decided to take off the planks i had installed. Broke the keel and stem plus a bulckhead. So like starting again. Oh well. Will post again when i get back to this stage
-
Yup Steve I wish someone said something before lol. It took me the whole day to put on the second streak. I have the first two on and after spending my whole day off too put on only two I think I'll just leave it like that. The third will not be too bad, i hope. Or should i start again? A question: Chuck says we should have 12 in total. I only have 11 streaks. Is that a problem?
-
Thank you for all your help. There was a stage with the planking I thought i had a box of firewood for the weekend lol. I glued it and a little sanding it us hardly noticeable
-
Just finished the top two planks and one bottom plank then broke the stem. Think it might be time to take a break while the glue dries.😊
-
Thank you Dowmer, I always love reading what Chuck has to say. I starting the planking on the sheer and took me all day just to put the port side on lol. I'm taking it super slow and hopefully I'm doing everything right.
-
Almost done fairing the bulkheads and will be putting on the transom and bow fillers. Had to hit the local Dollar General to buy a hair dryer for the planking. Felt like I was doing a late night run for a woman LOL I know the plank on the sheer has to be bent and curved but does it need to be tapered at all?
-
Ok with a little problem with the first bulkhead to make sure it was 100% plumb and level, the bulkheads went pretty smooth with only one little hicchup but eventually working slowly they are all in 😊
-
Thank you Joe that was really helpful. Does it matter which way the numbers and letters face when inserting the bulkheads?
-
Thank you. I really need all the help I can get lol Sanded and ready to go

Well ordered the model and after reading about a dozen threads on here I'm about to start my first wooden model build. I'm totally new to this so please bear with me if my terminology is incorrect at times 🙂
