Hey all. Some more work has been done and progress is good. Finished planking the hull below the wales and added the stem post, keel and about to add the stern post. One rubbing strake has yet to be added about two plank rows above the wales. This whole thing needs a good sand very carefully because the veneer strips are only 1mm thick. Some touch ups to do but im pleased with it so far. Hope you enjoy.

Strips are way to damn thin! I knew it would be difficult but not this bad. Sorry guys but it might take some time to get right. Try and update soon. cheers to the guys who chipped in. Obviously something I didn’t know before was the hull can be planked two ways. I’ve gone with the replica version. All your feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

At this point of time i have measuered 7 full planks down to the wales. Under the wales I've planned the first spilled plank. As per Chris picture post. Got it marked out on the hull and test bent some planks to see the lie of them. At this stage no clinkering out so could be on a winner? We shall see..

Keith, The more you chime in the better. Dont be sorry. Everything helps. Im sure i have watched something like that but cant remeber if it was tbe Gothenburg or the Endeavour. I have been warned however the the AOTS book references are not as acurate as you think they are. Which is where the planks are shown all terminating at the stem. Cheers

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.
