Hello, I'm starting the final planking of the deck. The normal length of a plank is 10 cm (which scales to 320 cm). The kit suggests a beam spacing of 2.5 cm (or 80 cm scale). I've decided to reduce this spacing to 2.0 cm (64 cm scale). Therefore, I'll be simulating the treenails every 2.0 cm instead of 2.5 cm. The second layer is completed using 0.5 x 5mm strips. This layer will also start amidships (in the middle of the deck), but with a key difference: a 17mm wide central strip will be glued on top of it. Therefore, the total width of the first four strips—two on either side of the centerline—must equal 17mm. These thicker planks in the center are called the "corsia." I'm also making sure to avoid using shorter planks (as indicated by the red circles in the drawing extract) and am accounting for openings in the planking.

Buona sera! The first deck planking is finished. Sanding has been done to remove hollows and bumps. The deck of the trabaccolo was wide and notably convex, with a thicker plank in the center called the "corsia" , where the mast and bitts were located. The cutting of the hatch panel and access to the living quarters will be done after the final deck planking is installed. I have accurately marked their future locations. The underwater hull is painted with Mars Black acrylic paint.

Dear Alistair, I'm glad to hear you're back to continue your Trabakul. In fact, a trabaccolo is a trabakul. 😉 Slovenia is a lovely place. Piran looks like a very nice port. It would be an honor to share your pictures. For the color of the hull, perhaps I will paint the bottom black. Have a nice day François

Hello Glen, I prefer the second one; it's a difficult choice. In the second one, the stone opens up the field because there's no border. I'm not sure if I'm being clear, but either way, it's beautiful! 🤔

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.
