    So. I did some planking- Did a slight curve to the top plank, I hope it turns out look good. How do I know in witch order to put the planks from here, and cut them. The middle plan that are alone I put it like the manual did.

    I have glued 3 planks. now the getting a "clink" because of the slight twist to glue them on the frame. Is this pdf good for every type of planking. I see that the are using paper with markings. Maybe my planks don't follow the natural curvature that's why the must bend strange. https://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Framing_and_Planking/plankingprojectbeginners.pdf P.11

    I hope this new pic i better. I maybe misunderstand you. I thought you mean my pic, but now I understand you mean the pic i the manual. I still keep this post. I did some line on one of the pic, maybe I´m completely wrong about planking but I have no idea how do put this together. It´s not like the manual.

    It´s this kit https://www.occre.com/model-ship/bounty-boat.html?___store=en&___from_store=en It says easy kit for beginner. As far as I can see from the pic 11of the planking it seems like they are going in a straight line and the frame are in the same level.

    Hi. I´m trying to complete my build. But I ran into some problems. The bulk frame seems not to be in the same height, I have done after the manual when gluing them. Now when I´m about to start planking the hull I don't know what to do. I understand if it´s not going to look as the picture, but if someone have some idea how to make it look good it would be great. The manual says I should put one plank 3 mm down on every frame but it´s not going to work. and if I´m going to later put one plank above it´s not going to touch the frame. I had one idea to maybe saw of a little but i don't know if some frame are to high or to low.

    I could use some help, I´m going to sand down before planking, and it´s really difficult to know when it´s enough. I have tried with one of the plank but it´s still not easy to know. I don't want to sand to much and ruin the model. How do you guys do it.

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.
