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

Well done, very well done. I'm real glad you could do it this way!!!
-
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

Jim, You need to sacrifice something to get such a smart result ...
-
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 ;-)

NIce items to know Hans. Thanks!
