BANYAN Posted April 9, 2022 #962 Posted April 9, 2022 Michael, I think you may be a little tough on your efforts in saying you were not happy with the lay/fit of the garboards - I think you have done an exemplary job of it. cheers Pat Keith Black, mtaylor, michael mott and 1 other 3 1 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64)
michael mott Posted April 9, 2022 Author #963 Posted April 9, 2022 Well a bit more adventurous today John, I did manage the second plank on the starboard side in a single piece, however I think I will continue with using 2 or three pieces just to allow the gluing to be less stressful on my nerves. On the third plank on the port side I chose to cut it amidships and work from each end. first however I used some regular thumbtacks to lay a batten along the tick marks, which made creating a tracing a little easier. Transferred it onto a rough slab of yellow cedar. Chopped it in half and worked at forming each end with the mini hut air gun, I will let it sit overnight and see how it looks in the morning. The nice thing about the batten is I was able the drop the formed plank into the gap. Looks like I will need to twists the stem end just a little more tomorrow, it is just resting there at the moment.

michael mott Posted April 10, 2022 Author #964 Posted April 10, 2022 A small update the third plank on the port side The gluing went well, eventually, I did have to clean it all off the forward half mage a small adjustment to the length then re glue.

michael mott Posted April 21, 2022 Author #966 Posted April 21, 2022 I have added a few more planks. This planking is far more stressful that when I planked up the cutter, because on that hull it was all strip planked and on this hull I am trying to follow the real planking as best as I can, so it is a little bit slower going.

It seems to be going very well Michael.
