Planking party day three: ive decided that from now on whenever I work on my Winnie, I’m going to fasten my phone camera to my head and build it through it’s eyes, I’ll do a much better job lol!! JJ

Wow! Stunning work Chuck. I can’t plank my deck fast enough now. I think I’ll go for the extra credit on the jeer bits! Lol

Looking great Ron! Planking is turning out wonderful! JJ

Looking good Greg! Well done! A little sanding and some wop and you’re set!

Inspiring work Alex, a work of art. The choices of wood are perfect. JJ

Back on the wagon again with my Winnie, it’s been too long. Got all the coamings completed along with gratings. Everything is in place and I’m almost ready to start lining off for planks. I’m not too happy with my stove base, its finish turned out ok but it warped really bad when I glued it down, I think I’m going to have to remove it and start over again. Somehow I messed up with the forward subdecks and had to deviate outside of the etched lines increasingly as I worked forward, I used a tight line to constantly check my centerline when glueing parts down, I ended up being about 1-1.5mm off at the forward most part of the bow.

Looks nice and straight Frank. All the reference marks look good as well. JJ

There are no 3-D models of the Olympic class available commercially. Titanic honor and glory probably owns/developed the most accurate version in existence but they are not going to just hand that over and probably wont even sell rights to it. Building a 3D model will require detailed 2D drawings of the ship and a powerful 3D program to produce it with many many hours of modeling. JJ

Looking great Fred! The hull does look very nice painted.

Hi Greg, i experienced a lot of the same problems. If you want to edge glue you still can, use scotch brite pads soaked in denatured alcohol and that will take the excess glue off without taking away the wood. I was doing the same thing and getting too thin in the stern, it’s a tough part of the model to plank. Also try planking from the stern and join the bow and stern strake in the middle, it makes that joint at the counter a lot easier to handle. JJ

Computer generated cut files have infinite scale and customizable possibilities without “having to start over”. What a wonderful time to be a ship modeler. Keep the updates coming Jack. JJ

Oh those look nice Matt, I’m right behind you and just as eager to build those things!

Thanks for the comments and likes guys. Appreciate it. Hopefully I’ll begin the coamings this week and start planking soon. JJ
