HMS Winchelsea by Beckmann 1/48


Recommended Posts

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

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!😉

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. :)
