1213brett Posted May 14, 2017 #1 Posted May 14, 2017 I'm building the Model Shipways Mayflower. And don't know what to do with the garboard plank and the few planks above it. I have read the instructions and they are not clear to me. They just say to take a 3/16" x 1/16" board starting at bulkhead (C) and taper the forward end. Do I taper it form the first three inches of the board like the other boards? Maybe you have built this ship or just know the answer. Any way I have also included the instructions in the link. http://www.historicships.com/TALLSHIPS/Model Shipways/Mayflower/MS2020-Mayflower-Instructions.pdf Archi 1 Quote
