wyz Posted January 10, 2021 Share #31 Posted January 10, 2021 Don't rush the planking Edward. Slow and steady is the way to go. Take note of Chuck's planking tips as they are mega-helpful. I found his travel iron tool works real well. Tom Edwardkenway, FrankWouts and EricWilliamMarshall 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardkenway Posted January 10, 2021 Author Share #32 Posted January 10, 2021 Thankyou Tom, I have been using a travel iron and Chuck's edge bending method. Slow is standard for me and planking, so I have a couple of othe builds on the go, to have the odd break from it now and again.

Edwardkenway Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share #36 Posted March 22, 2021 Thanks Phil, and everyone who has looked in. Hopefully with the weather getting dryer and warmer here in the UK I'll be able to get Winnie outside and get stuck in to fairing the inner bulwarks so I can carry on planking! I'm looking forward to getting to work on her again.

Edwardkenway Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share #37 Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) Well the sun has been out and the weather dry so I've been out on the backyard with Winnie for the last couple of evenings, taking the bulk of the inner bulwarks off, just a bit of fine tuning with the sanding sticks and its back to planking. this is as she is now You may have noticed that the Wales have not been double planked yet, I've done this as I still have some sanding to do and would definitely catch the wales, so once I have it sanded and smooth I will fit the wales and get some paint on them. Thanks for the likes and your patience 🙂 Cheers Edited March 25, 2021 by Edwardkenway Nunnehi (Don), Haliburton, Old Collingwood and 12 others 15 Current builds; Henry Ramey Upcher 1:25 Providence whaleboat- 1:25 HMS Winchelsea 1764 1:48 Completed: HM Cutter Sherbourne- 1:64- finished Triton cross section scratch- 1:60 - finished Non ship: SBD-3 Dauntless 1:48 Hasegawa -FINISHED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted April 21, 2021 Share #39 Posted April 21, 2021 Planking is a big job on this model and it takes a long time. Mine took many months. What you’ve done so far looks really good.

Edwardkenway Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share #40 Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Thanks Matt. Hello again, Small setback with the port side first belt, the transition to the stern counter did not look great, in fact it was an eyesore, some very unsightly bad cutting and gaps. The 5 offending planks have been removed, I would like to have it at least looking the same or similar to the starboard. As many have said, the second attempt often goes better. Thanks for looking in. Cheers 🙂 Edited May 2, 2021 by Edwardkenway Chuck, VTHokiEE, Jack12477 and 2 others 5 Current builds; Henry Ramey Upcher 1:25 Providence whaleboat- 1:25 HMS Winchelsea 1764 1:48 Completed: HM Cutter Sherbourne- 1:64- finished Triton cross section scratch- 1:60 - finished Non ship: SBD-3 Dauntless 1:48 Hasegawa -FINISHED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwardkenway Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share #41 Posted September 14, 2021 After a hectic few months of work, sorting all the summer yard chores and a holiday away from it all, I'm finally back on Winnie, continuing with the planking. I relaid the planks at the stern/counter transition, I'm happier with the result. The hull has been re-lined for the remaining planking bands and the first one has been shaped to fit. Thanks for your patience through the summer and the likes and comments.

jfhealey Posted September 14, 2021 Share #42 Posted September 14, 2021 Pleased to see you are back under way. All that careful lining off will pay dividends later on (as others have observed on other logs). I wish I'd done it properly rather than semi-winging it. Please put up a few more pictures as you go.

Edwardkenway Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share #46 Posted October 2, 2021 Good evening, I've completed another band of planking on the port side, and started the corresponding band on the starboard. Also I had to rip some more 1/4" strips these ones are my best to date, I think by the time I've done with planking the hull I'll be making some half decent strips😊 Thanks for looking in and the likes. I'll post some more photos when I've got a bit more to show.

Edwardkenway Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share #51 Posted November 21, 2021 Well, with work and other pressing matters, planking is progressing very very slowly 🐌 I have two bands completed on the port side and I'm halfway through the second band on the starboard. The transition from Hull to counter has been a trial, with several planks being removed, replaced and removed again. As it stands it's not the prettiest but it is smooth. It's going to be a fair while before I can flip her right side up😊 as I've reverted to using titebond glue because I got in a proper mess using CA. Thanks for watching and the likes! Until next time, cheers.

Edwardkenway Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share #53 Posted December 11, 2021 I feel I'm on the homeward stretch with the hull planking now, just two bands each on port and starboard sides. I've redone the lining out to reduce the risk of ending up with a narrow plank. it all looks pretty even and symmetrical to my eyes! just a bit untidy, but I'm hoping a good dose of sanding will go some way to rectifying that. especially at the bow! Anyway, the last batch of planking is imminent, then it's onto the stern and QG's, which I must admit I feel a bit of trepidation at. That's it for now, thank you to everyone for the interest and continued support.

Edwardkenway Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share #55 Posted December 27, 2021 A belated merry Christmas to all, and looking forward to a better happy new year! Thanks Ben, mine will be about the same when done. Still plodding on with the planking, but now only 3 bands to complete. I found working from the keel a pleasant change. working with wood glue is much less messy than CA but slower I reckon I've another month or so before I'm finished planking. The piece missing from the keel has been knocked off when I moved Winnie and I decided to leave it off till I flip her right side up.

Edwardkenway Posted February 19, 2022 Author Share #58 Posted February 19, 2022 Yay! Winnie's hull is planked! Once I've sanded it, I shall fit the second layer of wales. I didn't darken the plank edges, for the caulking, I forgot to do it at the beginning and thought it would look odd with 2 thirds done, so forgive me for that lapse This part could have been tidier, so I'm hoping the moulding strips will hide the worst of it😬.
