Mobbsie, The hull plamks would have been in the region of 25 feet long (about119mm at 1:64) and in various widths, but averaging, say, 12 inches wide (4.75mm at 1:64). As for maths, my dad always said that there were only three kinds of people, those who could count and those who couldn't. John

white lead putty
Jim Lad replied to wilbar's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Like all lead based painting products, white lead putty is now probably unavailable anywhere. It used to be used under finish coats of paint instead of ordinary putty to prevent the putty colour bleeding through, but isn't needed for this purpose anyway with modern finishes. Use a standard wood filler, if required, and ordinary undercoats. John -
