Trawler deck planking
Kevin replied to Kevin's topic in Building, Framing, Planking and plating a ships hull and deck
Sorry i have just seen your post, the decking was another step going towards the dark side, so an opportunity to do something a bit different, lol only the readers of these forums will ever see her, so i dont have to face the rivet counters on the pond side or at a show, the build log continues as per the signature link

Good evening everyone back to the after part of the superstructure getting the derricks done and main mast, god knows why the mast is so tall can only presume it is for reception mast is in two [arts and requires little tapering, most of the work is cleaning up the metal parts, everything is pinned for security

Good evening everyone sometimes you just have to admit that you are wrong, and i do it perhaps to often, I avoid the hull, i just seam to not want to do anything thing with it and when i eventually get the work done, i say well what the hell was all the fuss about i hate putting holes, as they always used to be in the wrong place, and spend twice as long correcting it, but the rudder assembly went in with out to much fuss and now sealed it the correct position with 2 part epoxy the shaft still needs work doing to it as it is not in line with the keel i never knew these vessels had deck lighting, so that has been sorted, each one works but not tested them all at the same time, the fittings are small portholes sunken into the deck and the leds were secured and i have poured pva glue into the the void to give a lens effect the cod oil house sits above the rudder, to gain access to it i drilled a large hole under the oil house and the put a cover over it which can be clamped down and also serve as a base to keep the house in position

Good afternoon everyone Foredeck now needs attention, so i have again used 6mm x 1mm x 300 Lime strips, i ordered 100 of it knowing i would use about 50% of it on the deck alone perhaps went to far wrt the nibbling lol (never heard of the word before this build) but now finding it difficult to get the margins fitted, and then the bow will be closed in with the waleback the 5 squares will be the the fish hatches, they are covered over and was no need to cut them out, but in my cutaway idea i left the option open, should i display what they look like within the hull

lovely to see an update from you, stunning work
-
wonderful watching this come together

I used a grey wash _ made by FLory , lots of ways to do it - im not trying to spoil your log in any way, just suggesting ideas, lots of victory logs to look out for ideas
-
Its not just the wood that needs to be thought about on a aged vessel, the paintwork needs to be toned down, sails(if fitted) need to be aged, rigging needs weathering
