S.Coleman Posted April 26, 2020 Author #31 Posted April 26, 2020 At this point of time i have measuered 7 full planks down to the wales. Under the wales I've planned the first spilled plank. As per Chris picture post. Got it marked out on the hull and test bent some planks to see the lie of them. At this stage no clinkering out so could be on a winner? We shall see..

S.Coleman Posted April 26, 2020 Author #32 Posted April 26, 2020 Strips are way to damn thin! I knew it would be difficult but not this bad. Sorry guys but it might take some time to get right. Try and update soon. cheers to the guys who chipped in. Obviously something I didn’t know before was the hull can be planked two ways. I’ve gone with the replica version. All your feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

Cabbie Posted April 27, 2020 #33 Posted April 27, 2020 Yo Scott put up a photo or 2 showing the planks and what you are trying to to do. Even thin strips can be edge glued together to make wider ones if needed, depending on how many you have.

S.Coleman Posted April 27, 2020 Author #34 Posted April 27, 2020 The first few planks laid down. The slightest curve and the top edge wants to kick out. Using drawing pins to clamp planks down so I have no holes. It’s tedious work but I think I’m winning. What do you think? Look ok?

Cabbie Posted April 27, 2020 #36 Posted April 27, 2020 Looks very good to me, no gaps, as long as you keep the planks tight to the ship should be ok. I use contact glue a lot for my planking, goes and stays on, but you have to be right first time. Thicker strips take a lot more work to go around the bow.

I'll be honest, I used a little bit just to hold the plank until the tightbond PVA took hold. 😁 Regards, Scott Current build: 1:75 Friesland, Mamoli Completed builds: 1:64 Rattlesnake, Mamoli - 1:64 HMS Bounty, Mamoli - 1:54 Adventure, Amati - 1:80 King of the Mississippi, AL 1:64 Blue Shadow, Mamoli - 1:64 Leida Dutch pleasure boat, Corel - 1:60 HMS President Mantra, Sergal Awaiting construction: 1:89 Hermione La Fayette AL - 1:48 Perserverance, Modelers shipyard

clearway Posted April 30, 2020 #39 Posted April 30, 2020 don't forget they put a coat of deal planking on top of the original hull strakes to combat ship worm along with crushed glass and white lead- they have most likely recreated that hence the run of the planking looking wrong.
S.Coleman Posted May 4, 2020 Author #40 Posted May 4, 2020 Don't worry guys. Im still building. Slowly getting it done. I've gone down the path of the planks termination at the stem. Actualy working out great. Mapping each plank for fitting and the lie of it. Checking and re checking.

S.Coleman Posted May 4, 2020 Author #43 Posted May 4, 2020 I want to paint the hull an off white colour with the yellow orcre bands on the top. But we'll wait and see how my planking job turns out. I might just want the wood colour yet. Im affraid the exposed unpainted section of wood will be too dark.

S.Coleman Posted May 15, 2020 Author #44 Posted May 15, 2020 Hey all. Some more work has been done and progress is good. Finished planking the hull below the wales and added the stem post, keel and about to add the stern post. One rubbing strake has yet to be added about two plank rows above the wales. This whole thing needs a good sand very carefully because the veneer strips are only 1mm thick. Some touch ups to do but im pleased with it so far. Hope you enjoy.

S.Coleman Posted May 18, 2020 Author #57 Posted May 18, 2020 Stern assembly time. The ornaments on top came in the form of a slab of metal.

S.Coleman Posted May 19, 2020 Author #58 Posted May 19, 2020 Okay so... More gastly chunks of metal. I decided to drill out the material where the glass should be and add my own glass. Trying to jazz them up abit. From photos the deadlights are red and I decided to include them. Might just have to go a touch darker red on them but we'll see.
