acaron41120 Posted 8 hours ago #1 Posted 8 hours ago (edited) I have read in various publications about securing hull plank with glue and a wooden pins/peg (bamboo), especially at the bow on blunt shaped hulls. I have a 1:50 scale ship and a lot of 1/32" diameter dowels donated from a friend's project. Would the diameter of these pins/pegs be too large? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

Solution Kenchington Posted 6 hours ago Solution #2 Posted 6 hours ago If you are trying to represent the treenails of full-size vessels, those are about an inch or inch-and-a-half in diameter, so a bit less than 1/32 at 1:50. That would be close enough to be going on with though. Trevor In progress: Norwegian sailing pram, by Model Shipways Completed: 1880 Gloucester halibut dory, based on Model Shipways Lowell banks dory
