Hi Mr. Design,

 

What vessel are you building? 

 

The planking tutorial in the article data base by David Antscherl is worth some hours of study and use when doing your build.  https://thenrg.org/resources/Documents/articles/APrimerOnPlanking.pdf    Of particular importance is the following comment in that article.

 

 The point of this photo is to show the forward end of the first strake, the garboard strake. It should not be carried high up the bow rabbet: a common beginners’ error.   If the garboard is carried up too high, the remainder of the hooding ends of the planks (the ends that fit into the rabbet) will be crowded together and be too narrow, or too many drop strakes will be required forward to compensate.

 

There are details in a number of books and you can also study contemporary planking expansion drawings found on the RMG Collections site.  https://www.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/search/planking expansion plan   If you use these, notice that there are both inboards and outboard planking expansions which must obviously be done differently.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
