Constructo Enterprise Decking Question


Recommended Posts

I am building an 'Old' version of the Constructo Enterprise

My directions (what little I have) seem to imply I am to run two 'uncut' planks on either side of the keel line on the false deck, the entire length of the main deck, then stagger with 80mm planks across the rest of the deck.

Does anyone know if this correct or is it a poor English translation?

I looked at several pics but I could not tell if the center 2 planks were cut at 80mm or ran the length of the main deck of the ship.

The pic provides what I think is the correct layout.  The spacing is for visual clarity only, the actual application will have the planks with no spacing.

I'm building a Constructo Constitution and read the instructions to lay whole planks, then scribe the planking effect. I did that and it turned out okay.

Hello. Go here and look for my article "Simple butt-shift deck planking"

It seems to have helped some people to do a proper planking job.

Hope this helps.

There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.
