LyleK1 Posted May 31, 2020 Author #31 Posted May 31, 2020 So, I was forced to deviate from the plans a little due to my not taking good measurements and keep the planks on a parallel with the wales. I chose not to start over or go back several planks because I got some good practice making dropped or stealer planks! Additionally, this is a teaching tool and I have learned a lot... and I'm not done. The last rows in the middle belt had to be modified to meet the wale properly: Last couple planks below the wale. Lower portion of the hull is done except for lots of sanding and finishing: On to the next part!

LyleK1 Posted June 6, 2020 Author #32 Posted June 6, 2020 Down to the last 3 planks and planking the counter and transom. Some decorative trim installed... more of that to come. Decided to change the color of the wale too: Should finish this weekend... depends on the sanding and finish. Planning to use Boiled Linseed Oil, 2-3 coats with a little steel wool sanding between coats. More pictures later in the weekend!

LyleK1 Posted June 7, 2020 Author #34 Posted June 7, 2020 Finishing the final planks... Trim and rail caps... I decided to do something a little different but with similar results. Using some wood leftover from a previous build, I made the rail caps and the trim: All done except the linseed oil! Oh... and the mount. That will be a few days. Linseed oil and off the board coming up!

LyleK1 Posted June 8, 2020 Author #35 Posted June 8, 2020 Two coats of linseed oil with a light buff with steel wool between the coats. I've removed it from the board and have a plan for mounting it. I'll post the final product in the next few days! I have thoroughly enjoyed doing this little project and I learned a lot... primarily through my mistakes!! They are easy to see for the trained eye but am happy with final product and of what I learned.

RGR III Posted June 8, 2020 #36 Posted June 8, 2020 Your model looks great and your log is really helpful. Quote
Cleat Posted June 9, 2020 #37 Posted June 9, 2020 I'm glad I came across this log. I was frustrated with planking during my first build. I found a reference to the kit and I'm considering it for my second build. I'll be referencing your build. LyleK1 1 Quote Completed Build: King of the Mississippi by Cleat

But keep in mind, if you are building from a kit, the planks come pre-cut. You can still use many of the techniques but unless you purchase some matching material, it will be difficult to do some of the things you'll learn... For example the wider planks at the keel... I'm planning to start the HMS Bounty and I will be using many of the things I learned. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Cleat Posted December 3, 2020 #42 Posted December 3, 2020 I'm about to start the Half Hull project kit. But the first thing I came across reading the instructions is that I don't know the terminology such as keelson, sternpost, etc. Is there a place I can find a list of ship terminology? Quote Completed Build: King of the Mississippi by Cleat
kurtvd19 Posted December 3, 2020 #43 Posted December 3, 2020 The instructions plus the photos should give you a good guide but below are a couple of on-line dictionaries that should help. If you want a good print book The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea edited by Peter Kemp is what sits on my shelf. I am not usually a fan of Wikipedia but this reference is pretty good. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_nautical_terms http://phrontistery.info/nautical.html https://officerofthewatch.com/tools/maritime-dictionary/ EricWilliamMarshall, Ryland Craze and LyleK1 3 Quote Kurt Van Dahm Director NAUTICAL RESEARCH GUILD www.thenrg.org SAY NO TO PIRACY.
