    For first planking, dont miss the instruction to edgebend the first plank a little and try to follow the frame. Maybe you could give us a better picture of the frames. Maybe you could sand more? You should always sand the frames after installing, not before!

    Here I think you can clearly see how to plank. I read somewhere that you should think of each plank as its own project.

    The bow is quite brutal in its bend. The problem is that if you don't get the plank right here, the errors grow with each new plank. I recognize your planking, my first boat was even worse. I don't think you can fix it all with regular putty, possibly 2-component putty. The alternative is that you shape pieces of wood and fill in all the gaps, they don't have to fit exactly. You can sand off the excess if you glue in pieces of strips, for example. The important thing is that you don't get too caught up in this, the first boat is rarely fantastic but you learn a lot when you build. I see several people struggling with the planking of Sherbourne. Here is a video where I think he succeeds quite well. Maybe it can be helpful.

    I usually turn the strip in the bow/stern if necessary. The strip should lie completely against the frame. Soak it for about 30 minutes and bend it over an electric plank bender, a soldering iron can also work, an iron uses some. I usually have to file the inner upper edge of the strip to get it next to the one above it. Don't be careless with this, redo it until it's right. As you can see, it affects the plank that comes after.

    An electric plank bender is a simple design so I don't know if the Chinese can fail even with one. Amati and Occre sell the tool. I don't know how complicated it is to trade from Norway with EU countries. In Sweden there is https://www.modellhobby.se/sv/batbyggare/87484-amati-electric-plank-bender-amati7205.html In Germany https://www.krickshop.de/Tools-Materials/Tools/Electric-Tools.htm?shop=krick_e&a=catalog&p=388

    Welcome I'm also keen on Fram but I've already collected too many kits. I have Bowdoin in my pile, an Arctic schooner built in 1921, Bluejacket is the manufacturer of that model. If you haven't tried it yet, I think you should get an electric plank bender. It solved my biggest problems with bending the planks. Then I want to recommend this builder's videos, she has a lot of interesting tips.

    I'm building a Norwegian Pram myself now, but it's not going well. I don't get along with dory builds at all, I've tried Bluejackets before. To all beginners who are trying to put together a dory and not succeeding, I can console you with the fact that it's much easier to build a regular hull with a little more real wood. I've built a number of hulls, Vasa, Bohuslän, Polaris, Spray, Lilla Dan. They're not fantastic builds but ok. But putting together a Norwegian Pram, as I said, doesn't go well. I don't get along with this thin, soft wood. When it comes to bending the hull parts for the Pram, I recommend the same as Palmerit. I usually bend with an electric plank bender, but it doesn't work for the Pram, you get burn marks right away and also sinks in the wood.

    It's starting to take hold, now you just have to clear coat as many times as you can with wet sanding in between. :) But it's just a fairly modern plastic body and not a Rolls with real sheet metal so this finish will probably be enough. Is this the best looking F1 with advertising? Of course the Alfas, Silver Arrows and the green Lotuses were better looking. :)

    This is the forum's default setting if you use cut and paste. I can change the font. Or do you prefer this? :)

    I'll reinstall my computer in a while. Will try after that.

    I tried several times for a long time and finally gave up. I have no problems with other forums. Ships of scale works well so no problem for me.

    Thank you. Now I remember that I always have problems uploading pictures to this forum. That's why I posted my build logs on Ships of scale instead.

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.
