tlevine Posted October 7, 2021 Author #122 Posted October 7, 2021 Don't stress over it. May I suggest practicing with some scrap wood? Go to your local craft or home improvement store and buy a sheet of basswood. Draw the shape of the hull on the basswood and either with a coping saw or an Exacto blade, cut on that line. It does not need to be perfect as the two pieces will mate together. You now have two sides of wood to practice on.

Figtrz Posted December 7, 2021 #123 Posted December 7, 2021 Hello from a new member, My 'teaching assistant' will be the half hull project with the excellent online instructions and commentary. My background in modeling consists of a few solid half hulls--two from kits, one I carved--and radio-controlled airplanes. I thought I'd go after this one hammer and tongs and make the half-hull into a complete ship model. I doubled the keel members and cut out an additional set of ribs from correspondingly thick basswood, the process providing me with a great excuse for buying a scroll saw. Not sure how it will go, but here are a few pics. mtaylor, LyleK1, lmagna and 2 others 5

bdgiantman2 Posted December 8, 2021 #125 Posted December 8, 2021 I actually had been considering the same idea in my head for a while now, and with all the lessons I am learning from Toni and Mr. Passaro, this is going to be very fun to watch. Keep up your progress on that model. Brian D mtaylor 1

This is more of a "reference" area and in the build log area, you'll get more eyes and thus help if you need it.

Capella Posted January 31, 2022 #127 Posted January 31, 2022 I'm in the 2nd layer planking phase on my first wood model ship. BOY what a challenge! I just ran across this kit and instructions today and will definitely be purchasing this. I started to go through some of the posts and would like to offer a suggestion: Many nautical terms are being used in referencing the various parts of the ship. The kit and instructions are targeted mainly to newcomers of the hobby, so many people will not be familiar with a lot of the terms. As I am going through the steps in my own project, I sometimes have to look up a particular term to know what exactly the instructions are referring to. I'd like to suggest that, as nautical terms are brought up in the logs/instructions, a short description be included along with a given term. Thanks! mtaylor, VTHokiEE, bruce d and 2 others 5 First build: US Ranger - Corel Second build: HMS Beagle - OcCre
tlevine Posted February 1, 2022 Author #128 Posted February 1, 2022 That is a good suggestion, Capella. I have been doing this for more years than I want to admit and I am still learning new words!

MaryG Posted February 9, 2022 #129 Posted February 9, 2022 Thank you so much for developing this planking information and kit. I ordered the kit today. I have done numerous kits but have never been happy with how the planking turned out. I am hoping that this will teach me the proper way to achieve a beautiful hull! Thanks again!

MaryG Posted March 15, 2022 #136 Posted March 15, 2022 Hi Half Hull Planking friends - This is probably a really dumb question - but here goes anyway. Can someone please tell me how to cut the planks straight? I tried holding a metal ruler against the wood but the wood just slipped from beneath it. Arrgh! Getting frustrated…..
Dave_E Posted March 15, 2022 #137 Posted March 15, 2022 (edited) Hi Mary, I’ll pass along something someone showed me (thanks Glenn). Get it at Amazon. Best cutting, holding tool I ever had. Works good for planks. Don’t forget to change that #11 blade often and don’t try to make the cut all the way through on one pass.
