Hull Planking Calculator

[MintGum]

Hello,

 

In the interest of aiding in the creation and printing of tick strips and planking templates for wooden model ship hulls, I have created a hull planking calculator.

 

 

This is free (as in beer) desktop software for the Windows OS, created simply out of curiosity and research into model wooden ship hull planking.

 

If you are interested in checking it out or testing it please download the latest release from GitHub using the link below.

 

There is no install just an .exe that can be placed where desired.  I usually keep it on my desktop.

 

Download and unzip to your desired location.  You may be asked by Windows to allow the .exe to run on your machine.

 

Repository: GitHub - mintgum/HullPlankingCalculator: A calculator to print tick strips and plank templates for wooden model ship hulls.

 

Download: https://github.com/mintgum/HullPlankingCalculator/releases/download/Release/HullPlankingCalculator.zip

 

Please read the included help text by clicking the large (?) icon on the right side of the form.

 

Any feedback is welcome and I will do my best to answer any questions.

 

Thanks,

Mint
