    Here I am, back after a bout with the bug.  It had all the symptoms of COVID, but the tests kept coming back negative.  I'm about over it now, thank goodness.  I would like this entry to be titled 'What Not To Do When You Aren't Feeling 100%' and the first line of that would be: Don't undertake any planking.

    I thought I would be able to get on with the first planking run at least, but as you can see from the attached pictures, I've made a right mess of it.

    I hold my hands up, if I could start again I would.  My major mistake was that I didn't complete the fairing of the bulkheads before I started to plank.  in a better state of mind, I would have checked the run of the planks before I fitted any of them, and adjusted the fairing to suit,  but in my befuddled state, I just jumped in and started planking with the results as shown.  I'm going to carry on with it and hope I can make it all better when I come to put the second planks on.  Fingers crossed and watch this space.......

    Hi Chief, I am following your thread with interest because I would also like to make HMS BELLONA by COREL.
    Could you please put some pictures of the bow?
    thanks a lot

  2. right after several false starts I am again continuing with Bellona.......I will have to strip back several bits of second planking as they have faded to a slightly different colour to the originals.........watch this space..................again.

  3. Hello everyone and welcome to my first scratch build, although i've been planning to build this for a while now this will most likely be a slow build.

    First came to me when looking through the russian sites that this seems like a pretty good ship to start on, i plan for loads of detail so there was no point in making it any smaller in scale, inspired by dafi and his hms victory build i'll hope to add figures and all sorts but not too much to over crowd it. I'll also be attempting to add micro LEDS to this build.

    The ship will be built mainly with pear and some boxwood with frames of lime.

    So first apologies for the poor quality photos, soon to be fixed. First i start off with the keel using 3mm plywood instead of making it in parts i decided to just make it one whole solid piece which wasn't easy when you're a noob with a scroll saw, which is why i decided to drill wholes to guide the saw.

    Hi AdmiralAntiSpiral,

     

    please, could you tell me how many is long the keel?

  4. Hi cnemo

    Chucks dimensions are in inch's which I will try and follow. However most of the timber I buy is in mm .so it can be a pain trying to reconcile the two....usually ends up in a fair amount of planing and sanding!

    Cheers.....mick

     

    Hi Mick and thanks for your reply.

     

    Also I will use the unit of measurement in mm.

     

    Can you tell me the thickness of the plywood that you used for the keel and the frames?

  5. Ollie,

     

    Sorry for the late reply, mate, I've been out all day (since 5.30AM actually) and have only just got home.

     

    I'll send you a PM in a couple of minutes of an illustration of deck planking.  It's copyright, so can't go here on the open forum.  I'm just waiting for my printer to warm up so I can scan.

     

    John

    Hi Jim, I have sent you a PM.

    Jim is possible to have an electronic copy of the illustration deck planking?

    I would like to use it for my Lady Nelson buil.

     

    Thanks
