Just in case you haven't seen the tutorials here on MSW.

 

Link to the planking tutorials: http://modelshipworl...ng-articles.php

 

Good luck....and take your time as the hull planking is quite difficult (particularly on this hull type/shape)      

[Gentlegiant]

Boyd Thank you for the links there are very complete .I have a couple of days for read all that .

[Gentlegiant]

I make this planking start in three times on two days after that i read on hull planking all the weekend.

Hi, Giant

Do I see some lighting installed in your cabins?? 

Could you please tell us more about this please? 

[Ulises Victoria]

Hi Giant. Just before you go any further. I can see where the wet wood joints the dry wood, that the butt ends of the planks are aligned. Butt ends should never be adjacent one to another. Plan to have them staggered, just like you did on your walls. Much more realistic and correct.

Hope this helps.

I was also going to comment on the staggered butt joints, but Ulises beat me to it.  I would also start to think about starting to taper your planks at the bow.  Don't want to wait too long or you'll eventually run out of space for your planks.

[Gentlegiant]

First i need to precise i make the Bounty in two planking . The first in Boxwood 1.5 mm and the second will be probabely in sapelli 1 mm.

 

In second time the look the atached thumbnail in close up i start to taper at the bow on 6 planks the seven plank is for a test because i am affraid by the taper speed of the six first plank, What did you know about that ?

 

 

 

For the lightning in cabin i will make a log on that , if i do not talk about the light this is because i have a to bad English, but if it's interesting someone i try to talk about it.

​

[Gentlegiant]

O.K. i post somes photos of the lighning in somes cabins . It's suppose to be represent some oil lamps . The pictures are not very good .

[cobra1951]

The lighting looks really good. Very atmospheric looking. Great job

I read somewhere on the web for the second planking it take Gel Contac Glue is it right?

And for the first planking atached thumnail the next planks need to taper or not for the 3 next planks?

[Mike Dowling]

If it is of any help I don't use contact adhesive at all. Just PVA (white glue). I also don't use pins but have found that sticky tape works well without leaving holes in the planks for the second planking.

[Gentlegiant]

Thank You Mike the tape that you talk about is this something like this ?

Hi Giant

             you can use the same clips as you the ones you are already using but re-arrange them like this and then put them on the frames, and they will do the job better. Also i use a faster setting type of wood glue called Titebond it grabs a lot faster too. And for the second planking i use the Gel Super Glue. However i am going to try the single planking as per the instructions, because i have not done single before and it's worth trying just for the experience.

[Gentlegiant]

Thank You Cobra for re arrange clips an Gel Super Glue and look my wood glue

[cobra1951]

I haven't used that one. I use Titebond original, but i suppose they both do the same job

The plank with the pin on the photo are not glue the just dry on the frame for take the shapes .Before i glue it do i taper it to i am not shure? Give your advice please.

[cobra1951]

All the planks should have a slight taper on them. You should taper the plank before you bend it and do it while it is wet with a ruler and a sharp blade making a few passes, not all in one cut. This helps to stop the blade trying to follow the grain of the wood and leaves you with a smooth edge. Of course others may have different ways of doing it

I would not use super glue at all on second planking, it will always show through varnish or whatever finish you decide on.

[Gentlegiant]

I finish the first planking, I use some woodfilling and sand it o.k all is allright.

look at my second planking test with thin boxwood ???

Edited December 16, 2015 by Gentlegiant

[cobra1951]

Hi Giant

              The second planking looks a little thin to me, it won't leave you much room for sanding out any errors.

[Gentlegiant]

Can i paint on plank with little spot of super glu ?

[cobra1951]

You can if you want, but make sure non squeezes out onto the outside of the plank or it will stain, and with the plank you're using being so thin you won't have much to play with to sand it away before painting or staining.

[Gentlegiant]

I make my choise on the plankins wood in the kit .

My first choise was too thin Boxwood .5 mm .I order some sapeli 1mm but it is back order .I decide to try the walnut 2mm in second planking and this is my choise , i need to sand and varnish .
