kev1962 Posted April 12, 2016 #1 Posted April 12, 2016 Anyone here know the original dimensions of the bounty's decking planks also which wood was used as I'm planning on making individual planks from a veneer.one other question while I'm about it, on my plans the port to starboard joints run in straight lines...is that correct. Many thanks in advance kev
mtaylor Posted April 12, 2016 #2 Posted April 12, 2016 Kev, Planking lengths on deck would have been based on what was available at the time in the shipyard. Usually around 26-30 feet per plank. As for butt-shifts, have a look here in the article database: http://modelshipworldforum.com/ship-model-framing-and-planking-articles.php There's one titled "Simple Butt-Shift Deck Planking". kev1962 and Canute 2 Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
