Hi Tony, I've watched Chuck's videos on planking using the iron for edge bending, and had a go myself on Triton, I think is possibly the best method of planking round the bow. Thanks for your advice, it is always welcome and helpful 😁 Yes I feel the same, hopefully by the time I start Winchelsea I can attempt a decent job of it. Cheers 👍🙂

Tony it's nice to see you back.🙂. Regards the planking problem it was the bow I had the trouble, I had not noticed the stern, but now you've pointed it out to me I can see that also, thankyou. 👍 I will take some planking off at the stern as well, which will help me out as I was going to alter the way the planks terminate at the stern . I'm glad you saw it and pointed it out as I had no idea and would have carried on regardless, This is why I have not started Winchelsea yet as my planking needs a bit more fine tuning. Hopefully the next session post will show the improved version. Cheers 👍😁

Hi again, bit of a set back on the planking, I took off the planks at the bow as I had not put a drop plank below the wale and could not get the second belt of planking to run correctly. Hopefully now it will and I can make progress again. Also I need to sort out how the planking terminates at the stern because at the moment I don't think it is working out, so I may be removing a few planks and re-fitting them when I've figured out what to do. Thanks for your interest and likes👍 Cheers 😃

Hello!! Welcome to MSW
-
Got a couple of hours on Triton tonight and managed two planks on the bow, so I now have four runs fitted, only fourteen to go, then do the other side! This is my only proper single plank hull(I know the Xsection was single plank but they were all short, straight planks) and I'm finding it difficult to keep the planks tight fitting, hopefully a bit of sanding will fill the gaps. till next time Cheers 😃👍

Thanks Chad, Phil,LS, Craig for the encouragement and kind words. I can't give Chucks plank bending method enough praise for making planking the bow easier!!😆👏 I'm hoping to get back into the shipyard over the weekend. I greatly appreciate the likes from everyone 👍 Cheers.

Hi Gabe, my advice for what it's worth would be to construct the deck frame on the model, because I did mine on the plan and had to make alterations to get it to fit into the hull. Only minor changes but still changes. Just my opinion!😉 Cheers

Oh oh good save Phil 😆

Welcome to MSW, being a comparative newbie myself also wrong side of 50, I don't have the masses of knowledge of the hobby that some on here have but would say go for a larger scale. Whatever you do have fun and don't be afraid to ask questions you will get plenty of help and advice from the members. Cheers

Lovely planking, looking great👍😁
-
Thank you I've enjoyed it immensely, it's quite a step up from a kit but gives a great sense of achievement knowing you made the components but with the added bonus of the plans already provided for you . Cheers

Hello everyone, another hour or two working on the Xsection has seen the last line coiled, the gangway and ladder fitted and glued and the skid beams fitted, not glued as I don't know wether to paint them or leave them natural, but apart from that I'm going to call this finished. Once I've decided on the skid beams I will put a final coat of matt varnish on where it needs it and that's it. Thanks to all of you who followed this project which was a big learning experience for me, I must say that I enjoyed it and it has given me a taste for an attempt at a fully framed build but not yet as I have the Triton full hull and I have the Winchelsea project to do first, but I hope to do one in the future. Cheers and thank you 👍😁😃

I've been following this build quietly, and now seeing this rope ladder I've got to say amazing!! Your attention to detail is incredible, you have a very fine vessel. Thankyou for sharing 😊
