empathry Posted January 3, 2020 #121 Posted January 3, 2020 Hallo Beckmann ; Laufbohle is "caillebotis" in french and "duckboard" in english ... but i am using an electronic translator and maybe it could be wrong ! Ebony cannot be bent but is as strong as metal => can be put into a milling machine for making the duckboard pieces. Cheers, Empathry FrankWouts 1
Beckmann Posted January 8, 2020 Author #122 Posted January 8, 2020 Okay I understand, but so far there is no duckboard piece on the model. Or do you mean the channels? They will be black I presume. FrankWouts 1
Beckmann Posted January 8, 2020 Author #123 Posted January 8, 2020 These planking tutorials are really a help. Thank you Chuck. If you do it step by step, there is no problem to get the Planks in position without much forcing and clamping an so on. Ron Burns, GrandpaPhil, Matt D and 10 others 13
Beckmann Posted January 8, 2020 Author #124 Posted January 8, 2020 By the way, I did tear off the rear Planks below the Wales. If not, I would alway regret to not having done it. Now the Joints are like stairs in a regular pattern. Saburo, egkb, usedtosail and 23 others 26

Beckmann Posted February 2, 2020 Author #141 Posted February 2, 2020 Thanks everybody for the comments and likes!! I learned two or three things while doing this: The bulkheads need to be in perfect shape. If not (and mine are not) it can happen, that you get a bump in the surface. And then, if you sand everything, you suddenly see the bulkhead. I had that at two points. I had to change those planks, wich is really not a nice thing to do. The other thing is, that the planks should not be too thin. Better more near to 2mm than 1,6 mm. That makes is all more safe and stable. And the better you bend the planks before glouing, the better they fit. Forcing it in position always makes problems. There is a saying about building houses in Germany: Make the first one for your enemy, the second one for your friend and the third one for yourself. That is probably, what I should do with this Winnie-project!😉 Matthias JpR62, Ryland Craze, egkb and 6 others 9
Rustyj Posted February 2, 2020 #142 Posted February 2, 2020 Great planking job and good tip about the bulkheads! Also your saying is spot on.

jfhealey Posted February 2, 2020 #143 Posted February 2, 2020 superb! You must be very proud of your model. I certainly would be. Fred Healey FrankWouts 1

Beckmann Posted March 1, 2020 Author #145 Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Yesterday I finished planking the starboard side by adding the stern post. I did some sanding, but that is not completely finished yet. Here are some photos. and some more pictures from the hull upside down.

Chuck Posted March 1, 2020 #147 Posted March 1, 2020 Excellent work!!! The hull looks good and the run of your planking is really good. You must feel good to get that finally behind you. And no stealers at the stern which looks so much better. Only one drop plank at the bow. That is how you plank the hull of a frigate.
