bostonerin reacted to Everest in Help with Hull on Artesania latina hms bounty's jolly boat
I think Beef Wellington is right. There is a wealth of information on here but you have to dig it out.
At the top of the web site page, NRG"S MODEL SHIP WORLD just to the iright of that heading there is The Nautical Research Guild home Page. Click on that.Scroll to ship modeling resources.Scroll down to Ship Modeling Database of Articles. Click onFraming and Planking.
Don't let the number of chapters throw you. There is a lot of info there' all of which you may not need to use.but there are some gems in there that you can use
You can do it. Take your time, but most of all ENJOY YOURSELF.

Welcome Cannon Fodder.
Nice start and I hope you are having fun. I did go to the effort to sand off the char, more to get a nice finish rather than for strength. My kit seemed to have a very rough finish almost like it was flame cut with a torch, which I suppose in a way it was. Most of the edges won't show in the end anyway.
How are you going to do your planking? Are you going to use the kit supplied pre cut pieces or all planks? If you go all planks you will need some more 1.5mm x 5mm stip. As for cleaning up the glue squeezed out I just use a moist Cotton bud(Q-tip) to wipe away the excess. Have you decided to paint or strain your hull?
I'm getting close to finishing mine and yep I'm looking forward to my next one too.
