mauryd824 Posted July 14, 2020 #1 Posted July 14, 2020 Am fairly experienced modeler, but never tried planking of model boat. Bought a Arkit Uncle Sam 1849 tug kit. Co is now defunct. Instructions re planking are minimal—- one sentence. Imply process not as elaborate as shown in tutorials on subject shown here. any suggestions about how to proceed? Is there a builder’s log available? mtaylor 1
mtaylor Posted July 15, 2020 #2 Posted July 15, 2020 Hi Maury, To find a model, in this case a kit, go to the Kit Build Logs and enter the name. If there is one, it should show up. As for planking, go to the top of the page and you'll see "Modeling Techniques". Hold your mouse over it and a menu will drop down. There's a category for planking there. In that category are planking tutorials. I'd suggest opening a log of your own in the Kit area and as you progress had have questions, there's assorted topics in the "Shop Notes, Ship Modeling Tips, Techniques and Research" area on the main page.
