Thank you very much for your kind words, guys. :)

 

Pete

Just have a look here: http://pkboatplans.com

The plans are made for the ultimate scratch build in 1/1 Scale and they are free. I think you also can build a model using this plans.

Cheers, Richard.

Good afternoon.

Everything is prepared for the first planking. I‘ve glued the two parts of the false deck to the hull.

Those stripes are only for the lower keel section.

 

 

Although there were no problems at all the model is quite bulky because of it‘s length. :o

What an elegant looking form! The sheer of the false decks really brings out the beauty of the design! Do you anticipate that the length will pose specific challenges for the planking? Will you be planking the strakes in single long lengths or in shorter strips?

Wow, she's a monster. Things are going to start getting interesting, Yippe.

I love the scale of this build, it makes me want one.

Also I was thinking, displaying her with the retractable keel fully out would really make for a much taller display also, which could be an issue.  

Posted

Thank you very much Hamilton, Pete and Keith.

 

Hamilton

The kit provided stripes for the deck are not in full length. I must use small stripes. ;)

 

Keith

You are absolutely right she is a monster. But it's a fantastic kit.

Cheers, Richard.

The filler blocks are part of the kit. Well, this is my first modern sailingship. I have no idea what's the best way planking her but I think I'll follow the instruction. That means planking from deck to keel.

Cheers, Richard.

I would suggest that you plank from both and meet in the middle. Here is my reasoning - at both the deck and the keel you have need of a full plank aligning very closely. When you do your planking there is always the possibility that there will be a slight gap. This is more easily handled somewhere in the middle.

First I‘ve nearly finished the planking of the keel. As you can see on the next photos the 2mm planks have to be sanded down to the level of the 1mm planks.

Hi Richard:

 

The planking looks great so far!

 

I wonder - what is the purpose of the 2mm planks? Is this a feature of the kit design? I've never seen a kit that uses two different thicknesses of planking for the first planking layer - just curious.

Thanks for the nice comments, Pete and Hamilton. :)

 

Hamilton

It's indeed a feature. If I want a complete painted hull I can glue the second planking up to the edge of the 2mm bulb area covering. The different types of wood will be hidden by the colour. I want to try the second option and leaving the bottom of the hull covered with the mahogany planking. That means sanding down the 2mm planks and planking the bulb area with mahogany stripes.

Cheers, Richard.

I completed my build of this kit a few months ago.  Great build, but I found myself getting very bored when planking and decking her due to the size of the hull and deck.  I tapered the mast, by the way, with a spoke shaver.  Went very smoothly and required little cleanup sanding.  Enjoy her.  Everyone who comes in my house comments about her.

Thanks for the explanation Richard - makes sense to me.

Thanks for the tip. Did you use the kit provided parts for assembling the mast?

 

And I would like to see a photo of your Endeavour too.

Did you know you can R/C this model? Just saying... :P

And it's sanctioned by AMYA as well, if I remembered it right.

Would love to have this yacht.    But as it is right now, to many on the shelf plus all the plans. ;)

I‘ve too little time but I‘m still busy.

The first frames are fully covered by the planks now. Here are some impressions:

post-443-0-42241200-1383493838_thumb.jpg

Note the termination of planking at frame 9. The stern will be planked diagonally, in order to adapt the stripes to the bending.

 

Here you can see the only reason why the midship frame is a double frame:
