How to do deck edging?
SpencerC replied to SpencerC's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
jim lad- what is a margin plank and i dont think i quite understand your technique is there a simpler way to explain it? barehook- but how do you know what the original shape of the ends of the planks are to be and how do you make sure its symmetrical with the other side? -
How do I do the kind of edgin shown in this picture? The instructions say to glue the outer strip first, and then glue all the planking strips. But if I glue the outmost strip first, the one that outlines/borders the edge of the deck and its shape, how do I cut out the necessary shapes to fit the planks into it like that? How would you even do it if you didn't glue the strip first?

Well yeah I mean that's how mine looks too, of course you're going to have planks on either side of the stem that's just how it's supposed to look. How else would you do it to make them not stick out?

Been busy. Got over half the deck framed, the bulwarks glued and painted, glued the stem keel an stern assembly, glued the bowsprit chuck, and painted the ships boats. I'm thinking about "planking" the boats with paper or very thin card. The boat will have a canvas cover over them. Let me know what you think.

I am extremely satisfied with the planking I have done on this ship. Through trial an error on my other clipper I believe I have mastered a pretty nice technique. I create a sort of belt at the top where all strakes lay flat and straight. Then when I place the last belt strake I then start from the bottom going towards the top and they start to curve up in a wide U shape towards the belt. Each U gets smaller and smaller and they fit perfectly inside one another until the very last one is just a sliver of a plank. Comments?

This guy did a great job on his cutty sark, I understand it was probably done with several washes but what would the colors be and how would you make a wood grain? http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/gallery/image/4960-img-1634/

This build has been going very slowly unfortunately. However the planking is looking phenomenal. I've gotten used to the extremely thick planking planking strips for the most part, however since they're so thick I actually have to use my Dremel to spile them. Ill post some pics tonight I promise

Don't you already have that baseboard ? Isn't that the brown strip that goes around the whole thing in the picture above the baseboard picture? -
Four months... One stove.... O.O.

Any progress on the Bellona?
-
What the.. How long did it take you to make that stove? Look at all the dust!
-
Yes youre doing a great job of overcoming the warped pieces, i was just curious as to why they were warped in the first place.
-
It seems like many of his parts are warped though. This must be an older kit. I had a kit that was ten years old and one of the bulkheads, and the keel were warped slightly. His looks pretty badly warped.
-
why are your parts warped? is your kit old or used .. or did you perhaps get it wet? Hard to understand most of your build log with so many grammar and spelling mistakes, whew, took some serious decoding.

Just think of all the metal fittings and stuff you could make! or even your own tools! check out his other video on the knife he makes. its almost perfect!
