newmanrj Posted July 5, 2013 Author #8 Posted July 5, 2013 Already found a mistake and had to create a fix. I expected the pieces to fit together perfectly..LOL .. I found I needed to add a bit to one of the bulkheads as it didn't fit correctly, or maybe I didn't do it right. Anyway. I had to fix it.

newmanrj Posted July 5, 2013 Author #10 Posted July 5, 2013 Added the false decks and started on the planking. I've only done the stern planking using a black 'Sharpie' fine point permanent marker on one side only. I've been taking my time with the rest of the planking as I'm still trying to work out the best layout. I'm thinking maybe a four plank might be the way to go. Any advice would be most appreciated.

trippwj Posted July 5, 2013 #13 Posted July 5, 2013 Looking good so far! I think a 4 butt shift would work fine for your planking. newmanrj 1 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus

newmanrj Posted July 9, 2013 Author #17 Posted July 9, 2013 Thanks guys, have settled on a 4 butt shift using 125mm as used by Baynan. Will post some pics when I have planked the remainder of the decks. A question, If I'm going to paint as Banyan is doing, at what stage should I start.. like after the deck planking?

newmanrj Posted July 9, 2013 Author #19 Posted July 9, 2013 oops, thanks Greg, now I'm confused, so I should paint what before the deck have been planked?

newmanrj Posted July 13, 2013 Author #23 Posted July 13, 2013 I wrote earlier that I was going to use 125mm for my deck planking but after reading the articles on this site recommended by Druxey, I went with 120mm. I've decided that seeing as this is my first build I'll use it as an opportunity to learn and experiment and leave the historically accurate builds to the more experienced and maybe me later on. Finally finished the decking. Probably went a bit overboard (no pun intended) on the cauking! Have included some pics during this phase.

Micklen32 Posted July 13, 2013 #25 Posted July 13, 2013 Hi Bankie I am building the OcCre version of the Endeavour and after just a quick look it seems quite a bit different that the AL one The main ones so far seems to be the frames look a lot different to mine and the planking instructions are to plank at 65mm which is a lot different I am known as a quick builder as I can spend upwards of 8+ hours a day on the build but this one is going to be taken very slowly and carefully as mistakes are so easily made especially a major one like I have just made with my Taxi build We don't seem too far apart You are ahead on the planking as I was needing thread to make the caulking as that is a method I have used before and find for me works well I have virtually built the lifeboat though although I am making work for myself as the kit did not come with oars so I am making 10 from scratch Good luck with your build It will be interesting seeing the different builds come together Keep it up Mick Quote <p><strong><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times, serif;"><span style="font-size:18px;">Keep it up </span></span><span style="font-size:18px;font-family:'times new roman', times, serif;"> </span></strong></p> <p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;font-family:'times new roman', times, serif;">Mick</span></strong></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:'times new roman', times, serif;">Current Build --- Will Everard --- </span><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/3636-will-everard-by-micklen32-billing-boats-167/'>http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/3636-will-everard-by-micklen32-billing-boats-167/</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12px;">Current Build --- Endeavour --- <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2804-hmb-endeavour-by-micklen32-occre-154/'>http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/2804-hmb-endeavour-by-micklen32-occre-154/</a></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-size:12px;">Completed --- Guitar --- <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://micksjem.blogspot.co.uk/'>http://micksjem.blogspot.co.uk/</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12px;">Completed --- Barcelona Taxi --- <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://micklen-taxi.blogspot.co.uk/'>http://micklen-taxi.blogspot.co.uk/</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12px;">Completed --- London Tram --- <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://micklen-tram.blogspot.co.uk/'>http://micklen-tram.blogspot.co.uk/</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:12px;">Completed --- OcCre Mississippi --- <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1803-spirit-of-mississippi-by-micklen32-occre-180-a-hopefully-accurate-rendition/'>http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/1803-spirit-of-mississippi-by-micklen32-occre-180-a-hopefully-accurate-rendition/</a></span>
newmanrj Posted July 13, 2013 Author #26 Posted July 13, 2013 Thanks Mick, I'll keep a watch on your build. I experimented with a number of options for the caulking and decided on the using a permanent marker as the easiest method of geting something like to the real thing.

newmanrj Posted July 15, 2013 Author #27 Posted July 15, 2013 I've finished the decking and my pictures show an unevenness but I can't feel any unevenness when I touch the joints of the planks. I read somewhere that by punching a small shallow hole and then lightly sanding can suggest nailing. I did this and generally I'm OK with it, given it's my first kit. The next step is to attach the gunwales. The only instruction have is to glue to the outer edge of the deck.. and (this is the part I don't understand) "File the outer part of the gunwales....... following the inclination given by the upper parts of the frames." Can someone explain in simple terms what this means?? I suppose I also have to now decide whether to paint or not as I think the gunwales need to be painted before gluing. again thanks for a great site.

Adrieke Posted July 17, 2013 #30 Posted July 17, 2013 hello Bankie. looking really good about the gunwale sanding. you will notice what is meant easily when dry fitting the ones on the lowest deck. where they sit against the bulkheads of the higher decks you will notice that the top of the gunwales will stick out because the bulkheads curve in. so you will need to sand them till the have the same curve. this so that when you start planking the planks will flow smoothly. My concern with this is that at the bow and aft you hardly need to do any sanding. so you will end up with them being wider there then the ones at the lower deck. offcourse the only part visible of these 5x5 wood dowels is the inner part so it might not show at all later on. maybe one of the guys that are further in the build can tell us how it worked for them and sorry I didn't look at your build log either but assumed you didn't have one as it isn't in your signature looking forward to see your progress Quote Current builds : HMS Bounty, Constructo Pilar Next build : undecided On the Shelf : AL San Juan, Mamoli HMS Victory Builds on hold : Ochre Gorch Fock, Hachette/Amati Black Pearl Previous Builds Gallery : Virginia; King of Mississippi Previous Builds logs : AL King of Mississippi 1/80
