acaron41120 Posted November 1, 2020 #1 Posted November 1, 2020 I'm about ready to attach the first hull plank at main deck level. On my model the main deck curves up slightly at the bow. Should I sand the deck beams slightly to make the deck lay flat and follow the deck line with the plank? I understand that the next plank down from the first plank should be straight. Am I misunderstanding something? Any help appreciated.

davyboy Posted November 1, 2020 #2 Posted November 1, 2020 Hi Allen,top of this page,planking tutorials etc. All you wish to know is there. Normally the Wales are fitted first. Dave
allanyed Posted November 1, 2020 #3 Posted November 1, 2020 What Davy said for sure. There is normally no correlation between the lay of the hull planking and the fore and aft curvature of the deck. Allan PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series. Click on http://trafalgar.tv There is no cost other than the 30 seconds of your time. THANK YOU
acaron41120 Posted November 1, 2020 Author #4 Posted November 1, 2020 I've printed out the tutorials. I'm sure a full reading and examination of them will help me a lot. Thanks for the reminder.
