    Laying out plank lines on a vertical planking layer for paper models

    in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck

    Posted

    Hello!

     

    I just read Karol Budniak's paper model article in the Autumn Nautical Research Journal. In his article, Karol references a second layer of planking, laid vertically, that has markings for the third layer of individual strip planking to be applied. I enjoyed the article very much if you're out there, Karol. :)

     

    I've been tinkering with paper models (airplanes, buildings, etc.) for years and have wanted to try small ships for some time. I've had the thought in my head that the pre-staging of planking, the creation of a flat template if you will, should be possible, but this is the first evidence I have seen of someone doing it.

     

    Does anyone know how the lines are being created on the second vertical planking sheet? More importantly, how do you go about transferring the shape of a hull to a flat surface? It seems to me that if you could accomplish this efficiently, anyone could create templates for planking, even in wood.

     

    Thanks for humoring my pondering!

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.
