i would have thrown all my toys out of the pram after a couple of rows, my other solution would have been to take the cocpit surround off, plank and then use it as a template to cut the planks where the two meet, but that would not look right, and look a worse mess -
i was looking at the build you tagged me on the FB Amati page, looks like he might have had the same issue, fwd and aft meet quite well,just that area i now hope i can colour match the infills
-
it might be a good idea to plank the upper deck, the printed one is ok but certainly the wrong colour and very unrealistic, there are planty of victory logs on here, if you get chance check out the one by gil middleton file:///C:/Users/testuser/Downloads/Wooden Ships 6_15_2020 (1).pdf https://modelshipworld.com/topic/485-hms-victory-by-gil-middleton-finished-caldercraft-172/

good luck with the build, im quite glad that we are not so tight in our home for space, especially as my last build was over 5 feet long

good evening everyone i hit a problem this morning, and took until tonight to think through a decent repair the after corner jogling board either side of the cockpit did not meet the run of planking was infact just over 1mm short, it has taken me all day to think through a solution in this photo i have tried to go round it but you can see the next board will not be wide enough to fill the gap pulling all the baords off would not solve the problem, as you can see they are symmetrical, infill would not work, then tonight whilst dog walking, i had a senior moment and thought make the cockpit boards wider, and that what i did, an 6 hour worry and an hour to resolve, im happy again, personally i dont know how this could have been avoided starboard side cut off found a piece of strip wood the right width attached it to the joggling board both sides done and back in place
-
i struggled on a bounty i once tried, due to the bow planking, maybe it time to think of giving it another go

i did a bit of nibbling on the trawler, but most of it was hidden, not going to be the case here, lol just hope i dont rip it all off and do again
-
good evening everyone 4 rows in and starting to look ok, take a bit of time to get the fir right, as the wood is different widths
-
i see what you means about my build of the Dorade having the rebates in the king planks yours turned out very nice well done
-
thank you, i hope to do it justice, the king plank is well made, it has been removed several time to get it in dead centre, as so far of the 4 rows either side, they are doing in quite well, i will post more of todays work later, lol progress is slower than needs be, as Game of thrones season 6 is dominating my and the admirals free afternoon time##
-
Good morning everyone a slow start but the deck planking is going down, i have gone back to using the kit supplied strip wood and it is thicker then my own

lol that would depend on how much fog
-
are the seat worth the 6 week delay, they look very good
-
i like the new banner
-
add a char wagon and some NAAFI girls, a bit of runway some perimeter lighting, and some fog, jeep looks fantastic
-
good evening everyone not quite so much progress made taday as like, Game of thrones got in the way 3 times they are lockers in the cockpit deck, they open up to two levels, which apparently give access to an engine! the hull inner bulkheads and the outer 6mm of the decking (which i have now found out is not decking, but a steel water way) are all the same colour Next decision is decking, i was replacing the supplied strips with lime, but mine is the same width but only 0.5mm thick as the supplied stuff and king plank is 1mm real dorade cockpit locker

good evening everyone day 2 first do again I didnt like the cockpit walls, so i covered the original wood with .5 plastic card, primed and sprayed, this colour will be the same as the hull, the cockpit deck does anyone know if that would be a locker, or access to a pump?
-
just looking at the cockpit, the lime seams to have a better finish on one side, so i may do it again to make it look the same, must remember that for the main decking, i have also been contemplating the caulking, i normally use a permanent marker, was going to try card, but im not sure i can get the results i fancy
-
Some white splintery stuff i dont know what to do as a decking protector, wondering if i should try a poly wipe satin, as normally use a satin water based varnish
-
Good morning everyone i have been working on the cockpit (not sure if thats the right word for the pit), i am using lime strips, not the wood that came with the kit, also i am using red mahogany gloss/stain for the contrast, i will also use this for the centre plank and other deck accessories

No, i personally would add more detail than see water, plus i dont have a big enough car, and lol it means i would have to socialise with the population out side of my dog walking routes
-
I think gold would look great, but i love the idea of a deep blue, the annoying thing is that when the deck is fitted, the hull is then painted with the two outer planks of decking, that idea what ever colour scares me, my masking is poor at the best of times
-
hope mine turn out this good
