    Please read the 'pinned' articles on planking: More> Modeling techniques > Planking. These will explain everything for you.

    Too bad you didn't use line from Ropes of Scale or similar - no fuzz on those. Would you consider upgrading? The rest of the model deserves it!

    Doesn't this make you marvel at how this was done full size in the shipyard?
  21. druxey
    Also catching up on your excellent progress after a month away!
  22. druxey
    What about a laminated piece here? Allow a little 'meat' for finessing the joints. You could make a base lamination the full width of the wale, then pattern and cut the (thinner and easier to bend) outer layer pieces....
  23. druxey
    Lovely lines and worth resurrecting!
  24. druxey
    Tedious work, yes; but safer to fair as Pirate Adam suggests.
  25. druxey
    The more-or-less square door in post #117 looks as if it can open unimpeded. This seems realistic.
  26. druxey
    Lots of variations on the theme! Pick yours....
  27. druxey
    Huh? I just put in the same search and got 28 hits. See: https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/search/Planking expansion#!cbrowse Try the link. The 24' 0" figure was from Goodwin, which I take to be average. This might vary slightly, depending on frame spacing, of course. That would dictate actual lengths.
  28. druxey
    Well, that looks more plausible, but are the lengths 24' 0" ? They look a bit short. The other little item to observe is the lowest plank aft in the lower strake. It is a short piece (if you've arranged everything else correctly) as it was cut to shape and fitted rather than bent. The piece curls as well as curves around to the outer end of the wing transom. Check the RMG web site and search 'planking expansion' for examples.
  29. druxey
    Qui savez, Marc? As master shipwright - it's your decision.
  30. druxey
    Before you go wild, be aware that there are no short pieces at the stem! the last of the longer ones become parallel before hooding into the stem rabbet, See: https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/rmgc-object-79816?_gl=1*9ishb2*_up*MQ..*_ga*NDcyMDk2MDY0LjE3NTcxMDI0Mzg.*_ga_7JJ3J5DBF6*czE3NTcxMDI0MzgkbzEkZzEkdDE3NTcxMDI0OTUkajMkbDAkaDA.*_ga_4MH5VEZTEK*czE3NTcxMDI0MzgkbzEkZzEkdDE3NTcxMDI0OTUkajMkbDAkaDA.

    Looking good, Clare!

    Exactly Chris: A smooth transition without any angle for the planks to seat against.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

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. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
