Different shades of walnut planking.


Recommended Posts

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.

Do they still have a different color after sanding?
Maybe the color problem will be solved after sanding.

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.

Luck is just another word for good preparation.

Amati. I agree it looks that way. 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.

Have a look a Cornwall Model Boats they stock walnut strip and its not tooo expensive  so maybe just replace ? 

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. Best regards Dave

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!

Thanks for the kind offer,however I think I am sorted. 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
