I am new to model ship building. I purchased a kit from OcCre. The planking comes in two sizes and I can't distinguish which is for the deck and which is for the hull. Does the thin planking go on the deck? I mean the unfinished planking. Obviously the finished planking is for the hull.

Hi, John. Which kit are you building? Chances are, someone here has experience with it.

"Terror".  I know that I should have started with novice kit, but I build furniture reproductions and I thought I could handle this!

Hello John, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under'.

According to this review:

 

The thinner (0.6mm) lighter colored wood (Ramin) is for the deck and the thicker (2mm) Ramin is for the first hull planking. You can probably verify this in some build logs on the site but it matches up with what I would expect.

Thanks James. It is as I suspected. I didn't want to ruin my project so early in the construction.

Welcome to MSW . I recommend you go ahead and start a build log. Thats a great way to ask questions and get answers from others that are building the Terror.

Hi John, you may already know but Occre have a tutorial for the build of HMS Terror, I'm building Occres HMS Beagle and the tutorial for the Beagle is very helpful for a beginner like myself!

This is the youtube link, hope it works

Thanks Dean. I did find the tutorial. The instruction sheet has a QR thingy up in the corner.
