    Nice work, well done. It’s such an accomplishment to complete the last of the planking, your patience and determination for a good result has paid off!

    Excellent work Frank, your patience and detailed planning are really paying off. That’s some outstanding planking.
  3. glbarlow
    That’s quite clever, removing planks without damaging others. I’m sure you are happier with the result.

    The chapter 4 instructions are clear about a ¼ inch centerline plank. Have you downloaded the monograph.

    Can't see any adjustments made, it looks perfect from here. I had to make some similar adjustments but fortunately I noticed it before the bulwark planking. It's all about the making it work, and you have.

    When I'm not building ships I'm off about the world doing this, near Chalten, Argentina.

    Another wonderful masterpiece for your museum collection. Very well done, the boxwood makes it even more special. Now look up focus stacking and take your photography to the next level 🙂 Enjoy your trip, I'm sure it will be a great adventure.

    I use WOP and monofilament, as you can tell its just personal choice. I think one thing to avoid is a glossy sheen - satin and matte are typically better. There's a lot to cover between hull and deck, so whatever you use should be easy and consistent to apply.
  9. glbarlow
    Very nice, plus your photography is so nicely lit.

    A little artistic interpretation is fine, they look great!

    It was my choice to not use anything on hull or deck. Far too busy for my taste. You will note on other logs I’m not alone in this opinion. You’re correct on what I used for partners and capstan, I got those sizes from chapter 4 of Chuck’s monograph.

    Looks great Rusty. It looks so nice with these fine details, crisply installed as always.

    Nice work, learning new techniques and doing things for the first time is a fun adventure. I had one after another building Cheerful, all of which came in handy with my current work on Winchelsea. Enjoy the journey.
  14. glbarlow
    Well done, quite the puzzle to assemble it all.
  15. glbarlow
    Let’s hope. 😊

    It’s a process, tabbing those center planks takes time and the willingness to do it more Thant once, at least for me.
  17. glbarlow
    Well done on the railings. It gives such a professional look from the usual PE and rope versions. Very crisp!

    Congratulations on finishing your model. Definitely made it yours with a very different take. I’m sure you are justly proud of your Winnie and looking upon her will bring joy for years to come. I also look forward to your plan for display. Well done!

    Excellent moulding scraper you made, it looks really good.
  20. glbarlow
    Thanks Frank. I’m retired, I have lots of time. I enjoy planking but it does become a chore after a few months of it. I’ll be glad to finish the deck and move on. Your Winnie is looking amazing.

    Welcome to MSW and thank you for your comment, I’m glad my log is helpful. I googled this chart showing thickness of monofilament line in mm. https://www.beadkraft.com/reference-monofilament
  22. glbarlow
    That’s some really nice planking Frank, very impressive. Your turn at the counter is exceptional.
  23. glbarlow
    Interesting how obvious the cut down is, seems almost unfinished
  24. glbarlow
    Chain pumps, why would you include chain pumps🤣😂🤣😂
  25. glbarlow
    Much better. You need a long 1/64th batten, gives a better look at the fairing being easy to bend and follow the run. For me the curve between the first and third bullhead was the biggest challenge, why many use balsa filler at the bow to help out with the run of planking.

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.
