Harvey by medic - Artesania Latina - 1:50 - Baltimore Clipper


Recommended Posts

So I recently picked up this kit at a swap sell meet at the Scale ACT modelling competition an have been cheerfully chugging away. As this is my first serious attempt in this medium of modelling strap yourselves in because I have heaps of questions.

 

As you can see I've completed the first layer of hull planking and the deck. The plans call for the bulwarks to be planked and attached before commencing the second layer.

 

So to my question.... As the bulwark is flat should I follow the curvature of the bulwark and assume the planks will come into a horizontal line as the bulwark is attached to the shape of the deck. Or should I run the planks horizontally on the flat bulwark and hope that they remain horizontal when attached to the deck.

 

Cheers,

Medic :(

Hi Medic - I built this kit many years ago & if my memory serves me correct I glued the bulwark strips on before planking them. They would be much more difficult to bend around the bow if they were planked first.

It was only my second build & was built out of the box with no modifications. I thought it was a fairly easy build. There was no forum like this way back then,so I had no idea whether it was accurate or not. I could post a couple of pictures if you would like,or I could send them to you in a PM so as not to clutter up your log.
