Extremely flabbergasted ... I am, a floating Pig and some tremendous, marvelous work on that cross section. I would also be frustrated with such poor abilities. Your grand daughter will most certainly be enthralled, else you can ship that pig to me, and for the cross section ... I just love it!!!

Mark, Saw this great build in the gallery ... http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/gallery/image/11221-dsc01815/ maybe this can shed some light on your planking questions ...

The bearding line is the line on the frame where the natural curve of the plank make it touch the would of the keel. You'll cut from the bearding line to rabbet to give the plank it's natural curve, and have it follow the normal curvature of the hull. I found this link helpfull (i.e. for me): http://www.modelshipbuilder.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?19970 The image on the third post is as good as self explanatory ...

JesseLee, Looks real good. This will certainly make it easy on you for planking ... I like Chucks explanations/instructions ... his build logs are very much worth while reading to

If Mark's methods do not work ... you could do it the hard way, but you should draw/copy the outline and openings of the deck on paper to transfer to a new deck, before ripping of the old one.It means you will have to remake the deck yourself, get the plywood, and wood for planking ... not the nicest solution, but an 'if all else fails' option. Instead of ripping it of you could cut out the deck between the bulwarks and sand the remaionder down as far as possible/required and put the new deck on I keep my fingers, as Mark does, crossed you'll get it done easily/the easy way

Dan, Thanks, however ..., your explanation brings up the following in my thoughts: If you know the required width at the rib, you should use a slightly oversized plank - width wise - taking into account the thickness to get the needed overlap to bevel it so the inner side matches the width at the rib. At least that would be logical to me ... but hey, I'm no ship builder or carpenter - luckily ;-)

About the NRG
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.
