mtaylor Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share #919 Posted April 27, 2015 Small update... After doing the forward outer bulwarks several times, this is best I have at the moment. I'm going to revisit these again after the rear outer bulwards are done and if I have to, again after the planking. I find my skills just aren't quite where I want them in going from 1 plank width to 3 with some compound curves tossed in for good measure. On the plus side, they look a darn sight better than they did the first couple of times I did them. Also, they will end up with carvings, a channel, and deadeyes, maybe an anchor in front of them. They feel smooth to the touch but to my eye, they look funky. Hahn just used a single plank which at full size would have been 8" at the aft end and about 24" at the other. I'm thinking I'll learn a little something doing the stern ones at this point as they go from 8" to 16" without the compound curves so I'll be able to practice some more on doing stealers. Not there yet.. but working on it.

cog Posted April 27, 2015 Share #920 Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Mark, I would say: " Trust your gut feeling in this" As I have written so before: When in doubt, restart, if you feel it's wrong ... the same. After you have reached the point of no return - whenever that, is looking at e.g. Dan Vadas' build and his magnificent (to me) impossible redo's - you are likely to feel irritated, even when it's hidden behind an anchor or deadeyes ...

mtaylor Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share #926 Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) I think I found the answer... I have a copy of Planking the Built Up Ship Model by (I think Jim Roberts) and it deals with the bulwark area. Which backed up what I was thinking only his seems a better solution. I'm waiting for planks to soak so I can bend them now... As a self-comment... I'm not one to hide my mistakes nor to quietly correct them. I'm hoping my approach at some point will help someone else in a similar situation. It's wood... it can be fixed and/or reworked. David, I think we all go through that... it's just a matter of time and the "gotcha's" that pop up. I'm back hammering away until I get it 'right'... for some value of 'right'.

mtaylor Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share #930 Posted May 1, 2015 One small step for Licorne, one big step for me. I got the forward outer bulwark planked to my satisfaction. Happy Dance!!!! The planking goes from one plank to three. I got the middle one cut in as a proper stealer topmost goes under the ebony strip per the planking diagram (a different French frigate, but it showed me how it was done). Here's the pic of the starboard side, and onto the aft ones.... The pic is super macro from about 4" out. Looks better at galloping on horse back scale. ianmajor, UpstateNY, marktiedens and 31 others 34 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
