ECK Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share #34 Posted June 19, 2023 A note. I have found several part misnumberings. On page 29 Step 174 Part # 72 in the text should be Part # 73 as it is labeled on the MDF sheet. On page 32 step 210 Parts # 246 and 250 in the text should be parts 252 and 253 as labeled on the 1mm wood sheet. mtaylor and JeffT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECK Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share #36 Posted June 19, 2023 To make sure the stern panel had the 2mm clearance I used a 2x4 mm plank to keep things in line. The outer stern windows do align nicely outer pillars as described in the instructions. Again clamps and more clamps. I measured out the points for the first plank/strake under the gunports then ran a line of tape to make sure looked correct then drew a line under the bottom of the tape to mark the course of the first second planking that also serves as the line for the first plank of the strake. That is it for today as I have to wait overnight for the bow pieces to dry out from being soaked and bent in to shape. Back to work tomorrow so things will be slower this week and I am on call next weekend.

ECK Posted June 20, 2023 Author Share #37 Posted June 20, 2023 Thanks for all the kind comments. Here is the work of the day.My dilemma is previous models usually use cyano glue at this stage which I did for the few upper planks., I glued and nailed the strake line (as in the manual photo) as it will be covered and makes it easy to identify. The manual states they used wood glue but not sure it will hold without nailing and clamping is impossible for most of this stage. Any thoughts out there? davyboy, mtaylor, JeffT and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted June 21, 2023 Share #39 Posted June 21, 2023 I used almost entirely wood glue for hull planking as the CA smell gets to me. But use what you're comfortable with.

Glenn-UK Posted June 21, 2023 Share #40 Posted June 21, 2023 Jim used wood glue on the prototype and then pinned the 2nd planks in place. The pin holes were then filled during the sanding phase before painting. mtaylor 1 Quote Glenn (UK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris watton Posted June 21, 2023 Share #41 Posted June 21, 2023 If you plan to paint the entire hull, then the use of pins is fine, as the hull will require several sessions of filling and sanding anyway.

ECK Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share #48 Posted June 26, 2023 Despite working the weekend, fortunately not to bust, I completed 4 more rows. Needed to put 2 stealers on both side to continue the curve but not easily seen. Sanding as I go first with 60 grit then 240. Once done planking will sand lightly with 120 to 240 to 320. Use some cyano and sand lightly to fill the holes/ gaps for now. JeffT, Ryland Craze, DelF and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelF Posted June 28, 2023 Share #51 Posted June 28, 2023 Just catching up with your build - great progress (and I can't believe how fast you are, at least compared to me!). I was particularly impressed with your fairing - I've not tried palm sanders, but they certainly seem like a useful tool. I look forward to following your log from now on.

ECK Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share #55 Posted July 1, 2023 Well, the hull is done and sanded. I will rub a layer of filler later to get any small imperfections and resand but this is the first time a have planked a hull and got most of it done continuously bow to stern.
