    Deck planking

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

    Posted

    Good Morning Folks,
    Im looking for a little help on deck planking.

    Im building the Amati Santa Maria, and am just starting to make the main deck. It comes in two thin ply halves that ive reshaped to fit. Once the deck is in place it will have a curve from stem to stern. Should i put in the deck then plank it in situ or do the two halves separately and introduce a curve as i leave it to dry then put the deck in place? if i do work on the halves separately should i start with a single long plank running the full length in the center as a base, then do short planks for the rest or just do short planks all over? what pattern should i use?

    Sorry for all the questions

    Thanks for any help.

    Santa Maria

    in Wood ship model kits

    Posted

    Im planning on building the Santa Maria next. I know there are several manufacturers of this ship. I'm either going for the Amati version or Artisania Latina kit. Do any of you chaps have experience of either please?  I have built one AL kit before (the bounty Jolly boat), and made Billing (andrea gail, will everard) and Occre (titanic and rocket) and Model Trailways (hearse) kits, so i guess I'm an intermediate level builder. Which one should I go for?

     

    Thanks for any help or guidance.
