I am trying to determine what the width of the caulking on a 1/64 Syren would have to be in scale to simulate the actual width of the caulking on a full size Syren. The planks in the kit are 1/8" width.

Richard,

 

The full size caulking is so narrow (maybe 1/4 inch), that it's best represented by simply colouring one side of each plank so that it shows as a black line on the model.  Most people do this by using a pencil or an archive quality marker pen.
