Fraser1945 Posted June 7, 2024 #1 Posted June 7, 2024 Working on my first project and planking is a challenge. Anyone have a recommendation on a book that can help me with various planking methods and tools.

Dziadeczek Posted June 7, 2024 #3 Posted June 7, 2024 I once learnt the process from this booklet: Planking the Built Up Ship Model - Digital Book (modelexpo-online.com) mtaylor, Ryland Craze and tmj 3
tlevine Posted June 12, 2024 #4 Posted June 12, 2024 If you are referring to hull planking, consider the NRG hull planking model and look at the hull planking link under my signature.

Chuck Seiler Posted June 12, 2024 #5 Posted June 12, 2024 I second Toni's suggestion. It is a great teaching tool and a great show piece when done well (which mine was NOT, but others in my club were). mtaylor, Ryland Craze, tmj and 1 other 4 Chuck Seiler San Diego Ship Modelers Guild Nautical Research Guild Current Build:: Colonial Schooner SULTANA (scratch from Model Expo Plans), Hanseatic Cog Wutender Hund, Pinas Cross Section Completed: Missouri Riverboat FAR WEST (1876) Scratch, 1776 Gunboat PHILADELPHIA (Scratch), John Smith Shallop
CiscoH Posted June 13, 2024 #6 Posted June 13, 2024 I learned a ton reading Chuck's planking directions for his Cheerful build/kit. They are free and can be found at https://syrenshipmodelcompany.com/resources/ChapterchapFour.pdf tmj, Gregory and mtaylor 3
bushman32 Posted June 15, 2024 #7 Posted June 15, 2024 Don't forget Donald Dressel's book Planking Techniques for Model Ship Builders. Excellent book. mtaylor and WHGreca 2 Ron W.
