TreeSqueak Posted June 21, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 21, 2020 I have a very basic question so that I don't stuff up before I've barely started. I'm building the US Constellation from Artwsania. I know my bulkhead peices need to be at right angles, but should I be lining them up at the top or the bottom? I have started lining them up at the top, but the bottoms don't line up, is this normal? mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Fraser Posted June 21, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 21, 2020 Hi Teetree. Simply put - especially for me - The bottoms don't line up because of the way the hull is designed, you'll see this in the pictures. The tops line up decause that's where the deck lies. I completely messed up my first attempt 40 years ago and gave up until recently - no internet for help back then! Have a read of these tutorials Hull and Planking Lots of info there. [Also I would suggest starting a build log in the 1751 - 1800 area. Loads of help and advice to be gained by that. Read this on how to name your log too! Naming your log] Edit - see you've already done this!
