acaron41120 Posted November 1, 2020 Share #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 Share #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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted November 1, 2020 Share #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.

acaron41120 Posted November 1, 2020 Author Share #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.
