Tompslattery Posted November 17, 2016 #1 Posted November 17, 2016 Do you need to bevel the edge of the planks during 2nd planking layer? I attempted it but found it difficult due to how thin the plank is. Canute 1 Quote Current build: Le Renard Last build: HMS Bounty Jolly Boat
dgbot Posted November 17, 2016 #2 Posted November 17, 2016 If the planks from the kit stripped veneer do not bother but anything over that my answer would be yes David B mtaylor, CaptainSteve and Canute 3 Quote Work in progress USS Maine in cardstock.http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/7446-uss-maine-by-dgbot-hmv-card/#entry220003 Completed Blockade runner Teazer http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/6063-blockade-runner-teazer-by-dgbot-card-stock/#entry175967 Completed The Monitor Lehigh http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/6920-the-monitor-lehigh-by-dgbot-card-model/#entry203680 Completed Kingston Class MCVD http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/forum/10-kit-build-logs-in-progress/
Tompslattery Posted November 17, 2016 Author #3 Posted November 17, 2016 Yeah it's a very thin veneer mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Current build: Le Renard Last build: HMS Bounty Jolly Boat
dgbot Posted November 17, 2016 #4 Posted November 17, 2016 Then I doubt it beveling would be used to get a tight close fit between planking because of the hull shape. But when the planking is .5mm it is not really needed because they will sit tight with no thickness.

jbshan Posted November 17, 2016 #6 Posted November 17, 2016 My latest boat I used very thin stock for the planking. I did the shaping with sandpaper, so as I put the (roughly figured) spiled shape on the plank, I would add a tiny bit of bevel at the same time.
