Chuck Posted December 24, 2022 #241 Posted December 24, 2022 That looks very good. Like Mike mentioned, be sure to check the run with the ship right side up. Thats the most important part.

glbarlow Posted December 30, 2022 #242 Posted December 30, 2022 While you have it taped and lined so nicely, one thing that helped me was a red hash mark on the bulkheads signifying the butt shift pattern. Easy to lose track of them while planking.

Chuck Thanks Chuck, Here some pictures of my beginner’s planking layout…It takes a very long time this way, but I just want to get it right…hopefully no anomalies anymore…I’m eager to start planking now after all this fiddling with fine tape and pencil…though I still have to find some plank joints and mark with a red cross… and tweak some tapes to an average in lining and spacing now that I look to these pictures.

Chuck Posted January 1, 2023 #251 Posted January 1, 2023 That looks pretty darn awesome to my eye. Well done. You will never build another model without lining off the hull ever again. That time spent will pay off in huge dividends.

FrankWouts Posted January 2, 2023 Author #252 Posted January 2, 2023 Thanks Chuck, I’ll start planking then, I still have a few days holidays, so let’s see if I can finish at least half or maybe a whole first band.

westwood Posted January 2, 2023 #254 Posted January 2, 2023 Hi Frank, your planking prep looks really good. Still, I'll add Chuck's advice: Quote Just watch the planking over the first three bulkheads as you work your way lower. I see many people start to develop a dip there that will look like a dent in the hull in the lower two belys. Try and correct this if you see this developing. And absolutely turn the hull right side up to check this.....its the only way to really tell for sure. (52 post on of my thread) I still had to do some fine sanding at some bulkheads when planking. So fingers crossed and I wish you all the best in this new year.

FrankWouts Posted February 4, 2023 Author #257 Posted February 4, 2023 Small Saturday update, one more row to go on both sides before the first band of planking is finished.

Chuck Posted February 4, 2023 #260 Posted February 4, 2023 Very nicely done. That is some fine looking planking. Remember to flip the hull over every few strakes to check the run. You will be able to tell more easily if your planking has started to form dips and you must adjust the run. Especially at the bow and stern.

FrankWouts Posted February 4, 2023 Author #264 Posted February 4, 2023 Thanks Chuck, Glenn, James and Paul! Yes, I flip the hull over now and then to check for strange looking curves and dips. I’m beginning to feel key is that all curves bend fluently and following the lines set with the tape run not much can go wrong…but checking is better 😉💪🏻… glbarlow and Trussben 2 Current builds on MSW: HMS Winchelsea 1:48: Prior builds on MSW: None
