Cowboy Posted June 7, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 7, 2020 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. JeffT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoyle Posted June 7, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 7, 2020 Hi, John. Which kit are you building? Chances are, someone here has experience with it. mtaylor and JeffT 2 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

I know that I should have started with novice kit, but I build furniture reproductions and I thought I could handle this! mtaylor and JeffT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTHokiEE Posted June 8, 2020 Share #6 Posted June 8, 2020 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.

Cowboy Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted June 8, 2020 Thanks James. It is as I suspected. I didn't want to ruin my project so early in the construction. JeffT and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffT Posted June 8, 2020 Share #8 Posted June 8, 2020 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. mtaylor 1 Quote Jeff In progress: Medway Longboat 1742 - Syren Ship Model Company -1/2" scale USS Constitution - Model Shipways - Scale 1:76 HMS Granado - CAF Model - 1:48 HMS Sphinx - Vanguard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
