I'd have to look,  but I think Billing's supplied a plastic boat...........I'll just plank over it  ;)    you could look into like I've seen in a lot of other builds....you construct the ship's boat from a mini kit.    when I did the Regina {Susan A].......it came with one.   too bad it's the wrong scale :(

 

it will be interesting to see what you come up with  ;)

Planking over is the current plan, the launch has a nice shape but just lakes the detail I think it deserves, it has a very prominent position on deck I thing\k some level of detail is require>  I'll probably start on it this pm when I'm done at the salt mine.  Will post progress pics

I agree Pete it can be though I've had my share with this build and all the re-do's :D ...seriously it is nice to watch the transformation take place during planking.

  I did manage to start work on the launch, just a little progress though.  Planking the stern I decided to follow the same pattern the main hull has with the planking on the transom running at a 45 degree angle, Pics follow

As always thanks for looking in and your continued interest

Hello all,

This update doesn't have much to do with the little launch, but it is something I thought you might find interesting all the same.

  In a previous post I had mentioned that the veneer I've been using is very thin and brittle and has caused me some problems when trying to slice it into plank widths.  :huh:

 

  The fixture I made for my bandsaw worked well but the minimum cut achievable was 4mm, for the launch I wanted planks at about 2mm. :unsure:

The solution I came up with was to construct a sanding fixture which would allow the planking materiel to be held firmly and ensure a consistent width when complete.

 

  I started with a couple of coffee stirrers and some scrap planking materiel, the planking materiel was glued to one of the stirrers at a 2mm distance from the edge, stops were applied to keep the plank from slipping out  and the second stirrer glued on.  The idea is to trap the raw plank between the stirrers and sand the width down to the top of the fixture.  I know all that is hard to follow, hope the attached pics help...anyway it works well only a few more to make before I can start planking the launch....as always thanks for your interest.

J

I believe that wood is called mahogany  {that is,  if it came with the kit}......and yes......it can be a bugger!   can't even breathe on it,  without it splintering.   I keep a small supply of different widths........the only thing I worry about is tapering.   looks like you have quite a process going........I'll look forward in seeing how it works out  ;)    is that a plug,  or do you need to hollow it out?

 

I'll show you what I have on my build........at least yours is wood!  :D  :D

This is some black walnut that I second sourced...the kit supplied planks ran out during my second re-do :huh:

   The launch is hollow but rather thick sided, I'll have to figure a way to deal with that.  I had planed to carve it thinner but it appears to be the same type of wood the crows nests were made of... and we saw how well that went!! :o 

  Barring any unforeseen crisis at the 'salt mine' I should be able to start planking latter today.

The outside of the launch is completed, debating how to complete the inside, I've already decided that I'm not using the plywood parts that came with the kit...they make the launch look like a Cris-Craft!  Beautiful but kind of out of place on the deck of a 17th century vessel  :P  Pics follow

Hey all,
Got a few more tasks completed on the HM, masts and yards have been tapered and sanded and dry fitted to the hull.
  Also spent some time scratching a little detail that no ship would ever put to sea without...but is very rarely if ever modeled?   :P  :huh:  :D  

Pics follow
