wallyh Posted August 16, 2015 #1 Posted August 16, 2015 Hi all, I'm about to start the second layer on my Fair American, I would like the planks to look scale. Can anyone point me to somewhere that talks about length and how they were staggered? Thanks again in advance, Wally Quote
reklein Posted August 16, 2015 #2 Posted August 16, 2015 Do a search on plning on this forum. You'll find a ton of stuff, specially in the NRG section. BILL Canute 1 Quote Bill, in Idaho Completed Mamoli Halifax and Billings Viking ship in 2015 Next Model Shipways Syren

wq3296 Posted August 17, 2015 #4 Posted August 17, 2015 Greetings Wal... If it's the FA by Model Shipways, it should have come with a very instructive planking guide. wq3296 Quote
