Recommended Posts

Hi

Thanks

Thanks Chris

 

What about the upper deck?  loving your kit by the way. I have 2 months of work (no choice) so steaming ahead with this :). One other question does she have any scuppers or such like to release the water from the decks?

Hi Ian,

 

Same with upper decks, they were all just laid in their lengths, but I know many prefer to use shorter planks to simulate the correct lengths for each plank, to create the 3 or 4-butt shift planking patterns.

 

Regarding scuppers, Vanguard is 72nd scale, so the holes would be tiny. There is nothing stopping you adding them if you so wish, though. I think I added them to my old Bellona prototype

Thanks for the quick replies Chris, I am just thinking about what details I could add throughout the build. I am open to suggestions :)

There is a nice article on deck planking in the NRG's  article data base.

Hi Ian.  I'm no expert, but relied upon C Nepean Longridge's 'The Anatomy of Nelson's Ships' for assistance.  He had an example of 4 step butt planking that I used in my Victory.  However, I believe the planking used varied in different parts of the ship... Anyway, I'm sure you have many options.  Whatever works for you!  I have several examples of my approach in the first several pages of my build log.  Good luck to you!
