shortgrass Posted August 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2020 In addition to the Independence, I am also working on a model called the Mystique. It is an older A/L model. The problem I am having is that the bulwarks have a significant bend to them right out of the box. My problem is that if I try to plank them length wise I will end up with a number of very thin planks with sharp ends. My other alternative to plank them vertically which will entail a large amount of small planks. My question is - are the inner bulwarks normally planked in a vertical or horizontal fashion ?

stm Posted August 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 17, 2020 Not familiar with the Mystique. Normal practice is to the have bulwarks planking fastened the same as the rest of the hull planking. catopower and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Lad Posted August 18, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 18, 2020 Shortgrass, I've never seen any ship with vertically planked bulwarks. Occasionally the transom is vertically planked in late 19th century schooners. John catopower and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
