    The second layer of planking is now completed. Being my second model that uses this style of two layer planking, I have mixed feelings about it. It definitely allows a less experienced modeler an easy way to have a relatively nice looking hull as the it is easy to hide mistakes. On the other hand, the wood is very brittle and difficult to bend and lay flat. Dhows don't use a rabbet with the planking so I used strips to essentially frame the edges. Thanks to @Javelin for sending me some good photos for reference, the two below were helpful in seeing how the boats are planked. I started framing the bulwarks and right off the bat I managed to create a gap that needed to be redone. Not sure how I managed that one. After replanking. Once the bulwarks were done I started with the garboard and worked back up to the bulwarks Second layer planking completed. I tried to plank it based on actual construction photos but I was having a difficult time getting the sapele wood shaped in such a way. . The next step is to add the rub rails, of which I got the first of 4 in place. There is a little lip on the front which didn't look bad when I was placing it, but it photos it looks like it isn't sitting properly, so I will sand it flush.

    Welcome to MSW! That is a very nice fleet you have made.

    Nice work! What's next?

    This is sort of my current dilemma. My workmanship isn’t at the point where I can build an intentionally tough looking model (though I easily can unintentionally). I will likely be going for the more artisanal look simply because it will be easier for my current skill level.
  28. SiriusVoyager
    Yeah, I know a lot of dhows can look pretty rough. I didn’t want to be the one making that excuse though! I’m trying to improve my workmanship and it’s a slow process for me.

    Great work on the painting. This has been a fun build to watch.

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.
