Trawler deck planking
Kevin replied to Kevin's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
lol i still dont know whats is best for me, the margins first or the planking, but as i bought 6mm wood strip, i went with the planking first and will make the margins fit -
Trawler deck planking

Agreed, but if the concept is correct then i will proceed with what i have started, to make the margins wider i think will interfere with everything that has to go on this area however when i do the Amerigo Vespucci i will do this system again -

Trawler deck planking

Thank you I moved on to the boat deck to see if i could make any progress on this nibbling But i still think i am getting it wrong im not sure if i should be rebating into the margin as well, but for tonight i have had an attempt on scrap wood to fit the margin to the planking

Good evening everyone, As you can see by the photo this is the deck plan for my 1/32 trawler, there are a lot of pointy bits, which i guess woulld not happen, i am laying planks over this and woundered if any one had any idea how it should look, even though a lot of it will never be seen is the decking plan wrong?

Looks fantastic

I can see a few being put into this build, im still very early into the build and no doubt a few areas will require a little help from mother nature

Good evening everyone i put quite a bit of thought into the bridge roof last night and eventually fell asleep with no solution, then whilst walking the dog came up with this, now i have a way ahead (small steps) other than that today has been spent on the hull with the bilge keels, will cover that this week so now i have a removable roof panel which will allow access after the interior is fitted out

i see it decided to put the photo in reverse, but i am happy with the results so far, like the victory i have no intentions of her being a show room condition build, LOL i cannot work like that, she will also need to be well weathered,

Good evening everyone managed to get the wheel house assy how i wanted it to look, the top external panelling will be varnished at some time in the future, as i dont want it looking pristine i would like to be able to remove the roof, any ideas anyone? or suggestions of how the inside of this unit can be seen

Good morning everyone well until i have a weeks holiday, when i will have the opportunity to build the dock diorama to finish the Victory, i was left with the decision of what to do next, and for the same reasons i will delay the start of the Amerigo Vepucci (the mess) so yesterday i made a start on the trawler Grimsby UK has a museum dedicated to the builders of all hulls made by the company, and they reckon they will have some plans available for me this summer, so that i can sort out the internal details, but that leaves me plenty to do Wheel house LOL i cut out the the bridge window panel (took hours and then snapped it in 1/2 as i tried to fit it so made another in plastic card the wheel house assembly is split into several sections the chart room and radio room, the partitions that were in place have been removed for now as i want to adapt them for some hidden wires that will bring some lighting in the top portion of the bridge front is panelled but apparently the same colour as below it, im not sure thats how i want to do it though so
