Bill Madison Posted October 21, 2019 Share #1 Posted October 21, 2019 I'm new to plank on hull construction and I am nearly ready to start planking. Building the armed longboat kit. Instructions say the bulwarks must be faired first. I'm not sure how to do this. Thanks Bill Madison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlevine Posted October 21, 2019 Share #2 Posted October 21, 2019 Don't you mean bulkheads? There are numerous build logs for this kit. Several of them discuss how to fair (sand) the bulkheads. Just type "armed longboat" in the search bar. mtaylor 1 Quote Toni Chairman Nautical Research Guild Member Nautical Research and Model Society Member Midwest Model Shipwrights Current Builds: NRG Rigging Project Completed Builds: Longboat - 1:48 scale HMS Atalanta-1775 - 1:48 scale Half Hull Planking Project Capstan Project Swallow 1779 - 1:48 scale Echo Cross Section Gallery: Hannah - 1:36 scale.

Ebomba Posted October 21, 2019 Share #3 Posted October 21, 2019 if you go to the NRG home page under articles there is a article Simple Hall Planking that has a section on fairing the hull, also if you use the search feature using fairing as the search word there are numerous articles and just a reminder the NRG just released a project Half Hull Planking Project by none other than Toni, who was the first to respond to your inquiry, just got mine last Friday and highly recommend it, Good Luck you will definitely find the information you need Ed tlevine and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
