Desertanimal Posted September 15 #1 Posted September 15 I’m working on my Muscongous Bay lobster smack. I’m planking both the deck and the floor of the cockpit. How wide should the boards be for each? I was starting on the cockpit and my lumber comes out to about 4.7” (120mm) wide. That seems a little wide to me. Thanks for any suggestions!

Desertanimal Posted September 15 Author #2 Posted September 15 I’m going with it. I think the scale looks ok 🤷 mtaylor, Paul Le Wol, druxey and 1 other 4 Quote
Paul Le Wol Posted September 15 #3 Posted September 15 Hi Chris, what kit and scale is this? I was looking at @ahb26 build log of the Midwest/Model shipways kit and he looks to have used narrower planks in the cockpit. mtaylor 1 Quote Regards……..Paul Completed Builds Glad Tidings Model Shipways. - Nordland Boat.

Desertanimal Posted September 15 Author #4 Posted September 15 (edited) It’s the 1:24 scale model shipways version. I’ll have to check that build log! Those planks do look thinner than mine. Thanks for pointing that out. I swear I had looked everywhere for an example. Don’t think I’ll be redoing it at this point. Edited September 15 by Desertanimal mtaylor and Paul Le Wol 2 Quote
Desertanimal Posted September 16 Author #5 Posted September 16 Might not be super scale but I’m gaining skills for the next project! I thought the side thwarts looked a little small with only 3 planks. Now they’re a little wide but I’m happy with the result. mtaylor and Paul Le Wol 2 Quote
