DaveBaxt Posted January 8, 2021 Share #1 Posted January 8, 2021 After opening up my bundle of second layer of Walnut planking the difference in the shade is quite extreme. I understand that difference in the planks is normal, however the difference is in every one of the planks and is 50% of each plank. Fortunately I have a few spare and managed to use these for most of what planking is not painted unfortunately I few will be seen.. I have an idea of perhaps staining the hull of the ship that is not painted but will try a few planks first. The other thing so I carry out the staining before using the sand and sealer? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Here is a photp of the planks in question.

Baker Posted January 8, 2021 Share #2 Posted January 8, 2021 Do they still have a different color after sanding? Maybe the color problem will be solved after sanding. mtaylor 1 Quote Regards, Patrick Finished : Soleil Royal Heller 1/100 Wasa Billing Boats Bounty Revell 1/110 plastic (semi scratch) Pelican / Golden Hind 1/45 scratch Current build : Mary Rose 1/50 scratch große-jacht / Yacht D'Oro 1/50 Corel Gallery : Revell Bounty Pelican/Golden hind 1/45 scratch Shore leave, non ship models build logs : ADGZ M35 funkwagen 1/72 Einhets Pkw.

Gregory Posted January 8, 2021 Share #3 Posted January 8, 2021 It looks like they were exposed to sunlight, near a window that created a sharp demarcation.. What is the kit, and where didi it come from.. Chances are you could get the supplier or manufacturer to replace them for you. mtaylor 1 Quote “Indecision may or may not be my problem.” ― Jimmy Buffett Current builds: Rattlesnake On Hold: HMS Resolution ( AKA Ferrett ) In the Gallery: Yacht Mary, Gretel, French Cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably complain, although I don,t think they are too expensive for say another 10 or so. Maybe it will fade with time. I have tried staining a few of the planks but they are way too dark. I might have to live with it as I don,t want to be held up, especially as we are in lock down due to covid and I have so much time on my hands. mtaylor 1 Quote Completed St Canute Billings Dec 2020 Completed HMS Bounty Amati May 2021 Finished Currently building HM Bark Endeavour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you need I have some Amati 1x4 in my wood box with no plans for it! SpyGlass thanks for that very kind offer. I ordered some from Cornwall Model Boats which is where I got the model from as I thought I better get some for the deck, although I could possibly get a way with using one end. I only ordered it a few days ago and it has just come in the post. Great service. Thanks again for the offer.

bruce d Posted January 8, 2021 Share #7 Posted January 8, 2021 Dave, I have a stack of the stuff you are welcome to if you are still stuck. Let me know. Otherwise, I suppose SpyGlass and I can start a shipyard? We'll be rich! mtaylor 1 Quote 🌻 STAY SAFE A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin current builds: HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only a couple of planks ,where they show so might get away without, Once they are on the model it doesn't show so much so perhaps they are drying out a bit.Best regards Dave bruce d and mtaylor 2 Quote Completed St Canute Billings Dec 2020 Completed HMS Bounty Amati May 2021 Finished Currently building HM Bark Endeavour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
