JAKE.FOGEL Posted December 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted December 15, 2020 So this is my second build, my first being a constructo golden hind. Now I have put that away for awhile but I do intend to fix it at some point, I made multiple mistakes with it, its fixable but I want to start a fresh one. I didnt square my bulkheads, also over faired them aswell and ultimately was trying to go to fast. I think part of the problem was I got a ship that I couldn't find any logs on lol But here's my start to this one here, if got the bulk heads on and starting to plank the lower decks. The quality isn't the greatest but its actually better than the constructo. I do plan on changing a couple things thoough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAKE.FOGEL Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted December 16, 2020 So before I continue with the planking just wondering if I'm starting it correctly? Right it's just got a small dab of ca glue on them so I can pop it off easily if need be. I don't want to just go for it like I did my previous one mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted December 16, 2020 Share #3 Posted December 16, 2020 From here, it looks like you need some more sanding the bulkheads to shape them for a smooth curve of the planks fore and aft. But otherwise, looks like a great start.

JAKE.FOGEL Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted December 23, 2020 So iv gotten further with the planking after taking a few days off im not super thrilled with the stern and I still need a couple Steelers but I think with sanding and a little filler I can make up for it on the second planking mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAKE.FOGEL Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted December 27, 2020 Im pretty sure I did it wrong and need a couple Steelers and definitely filler but it’s a lot better than my first attempt mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolin Posted December 27, 2020 Share #6 Posted December 27, 2020 Good work on the first planking. The gaps should be fixable with a few more stealers and filler. Take your time with the sanding. It can take several applications of filler before the surface is smooth and the lines of the hull looks good. mtaylor 1 Quote Current builds Meta - Billing Boats - Pentikontoros - Navarino Completed builds Swampscott Dory - BlueJacket - Will Everard - Billing Boats - Bohuseka (Swedish west-coast rowboat) - scratch build - Medieval long-ship Helga Holm - scratch build - Sloop from Roslagen - scratch build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAKE.FOGEL Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share #7 Posted January 6, 2021 Well first layer is done. Still gona smooth it out a bit more before second layer but I got tired of sanding lol really didn't use as much filler as I thought I would. Put on the keel and bulwark those were a pain in the ***, didn't want to fit to save my life. Gonna start gunports next, cut 1 out but decided no way am I doing them all by hand so I got my dremal charging and i have no idea why all my 0icture show up upside down, 2 different devices aswell GrandpaPhil and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
