I used rubber cement and rubbed off the residual glue after peeling off the paper. I still use this method.

I saw a shop like Grimber describes except they used a damp bedsheet. Not soaking, just sprayed lightly with a spray bottle. I've also seen this used in paint shops for cars.

Wonderful, Captain. Just wonderful. On the lashing.. the instructions sayeth "lashings or leather". So.. make 'em leather... brown. If rope... not tarred.

That's a nice pile of wood, Kevin. Time to tune up the table saw and scroll saw I guess.

There's also some tutorials here: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/forum/14-building-framing-planking-and-plating-a-ships-hull-and-deck/ They're pinned.

George, I'm guessing that you're using IE 11 with your Windows 8.1, right? If so, try Firefox or Chrome. There's some issues with IE 11 and the board software.

Sam, I think it's more of the spacers and the frames swelling or shrinking instead of moving when the humidity changes. This could pop the planks off or wreck some havoc with the keel. The spacers are there at this point, only to provide some rigidity while fairing. If I weren't planking completely, they would come out.
-
Well, I guess it was good that you were thinking about "the first minutes of the battle" rather than the last minutes. There's less deconstruction to repair.

Oh... a chair open in the front row. I got it!!! That is going to be huge. You are a braver man than I, Hans to set that on the railing.

Very well done, Hans. It's been a wonderful journey from this side of the building table. I hope to see you building another model. -
Sam, We're talking about cutting the spacers. The white pieces of wood between the frames.

Mobbsie did one that's different: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/307-hms-agamemnon-by-mobbsie-caldercraft-jotika-164/?p=245594 -
We're modelshipbuilders. Patience goes with the territory. :D Ok... so much for that. Now where's the sawdust?

Nice work, Hamilton. It's good to hear you managed to get some ship time in. As for the fairleads, yes they look large but a quick Google for images show them that big. I'd say go with your feeling and trim them down. Is there a line leading through them? You might use that as your guide.

Mick, Is this going to be an R/C build? With the glass tissue and the size, I'm thinking it is.
-
Thanks Nigel for the advise. I'll keep that in mind
-
I'll have to go with Druxey's observation, Chuck. If there's rabbet, then they probably had bucklers in except for battle. If no rabbet, they were probably put in only during heavy seas. There's a couple of American/English vessels I've come across (a bit bigger than a cutter) that had things setup that way.

Hi Nigel, I'm leaving in all the spacers. They will all be covered by planking but at this point, the support is necessary. I've already busted one frame thinning it out as I got a bit heavy-handed on the file. I will still need to go back over this whole thing again and fair in the sills and from the wale line up to the sheer.

And you question your abilities? Very fine work, Kevin. Very fine.

Thanks for the likes and comments. I guess I know where the wood chips are buried, so to speak. There's errors, minor ones but irritating to me. But I'll get them cleaned up before the planking goes on. Anyway... soldiering on.
-
I guess it should be asked for the model and the scale and also the usage? I can recommend Chuck's hooks and also Daniel (Dafi's: http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/2713-dafi´s-photo-etch-set-for-hms-victory-1100-heller-and-other-ships/_ hooks. But these may not work depending upon the answers.

Thanks for looking in and the comments and likes. Richard, They do indeed contain everything. It's a great project to get a taste of scratch-building. No can do, Walt. The cross-section has some things that are slightly different and simplified and thus won't fit into the larger full Triton Build.

Hmm.... I'm wondering if it's too late for trout? If so, I hope you're getting in some serious flying time.
