Hi MarisStella, Nice work , Looks great , Thank you for the tip on the use of soft woods. ( for the transom and bow blocks ) It will make those sections alot more solid. Good job

 

Best Regards,

Pete

Thanks a lot pete48... 

 

   After this phase, it comes a little more difficult part, it's a single planking of the hull ...
... It is to be  pasted the uppermost plank first, it is equally broad throughout its length, and this is 6mm ... Dimension  of this plank is 1.5 x6mmm, the other planks that are used are to be produced out of planks 1.5 x5mm ...

...and now ... the sigle planking method... this is a method that requires carefulness and some experience ... Puttying is allowed, but the less the better ...

  Very nice planking MarisStella. It shows your skill...post-617-0-75087300-1402676413.gif

Hello everyone ... thank you very much to the likes ...

Thanasis, this praise means a lot, especially when it is coming from the  ships modeling expert... thank you very much   :)

dgbot... When you mention the finished model, I have to tell you something ... before about a week I finished this model and, as far as my time permits, I edit my photos, I do my analysis of the photos that I incorporated into the build log ... After I review and edit a photo, then I publish it here on the site ... I'm trying to find possible errors and remove them ... the build log will be on the CD included in the kits in the future ... In this way I'm trying to show you the exact way of making of these model ... Because I do check every photo I think that it's publishing here before checking is very risky because it is impossible to correct the mistakes after that  ... So this is the only possible way and I think it's interesting to you as well as to me. .. I have to thank you for your understanding ...
... I just finished checking the next phase of work ... I think I'll post some photos in a few hours ... :)

best regards dear modelers

Your planking looks excellent--very smooth and clean! Are you spiling your plank strakes?

 

I think it's brilliant that you are going to include CDs of a kit's build in your kits!! Those will give a builder an idea of how things actually should look and so forth. As far as I know, you are the only kit mfgr that is doing this with CDs and it's great! Now a builder will have plans, instructions, and photos--with all these, it should be a very good experience for a kit builder! Hopefully other mfgrs. will copy your idea, as it will go a long ways in improving our hobby!

 

Cheers,

Jay

Hello everyone and thank you very much once again ...
JMaitri,  I'm glad that you think that the idea of ​​the CD is okay. My intention is to improve the instructions for building... Thanks for the compliment ... Please, explain what you mean " Are you spiling your plank strakes? ". I do not understand this phrase ...I do not speak English well enough, but ignore that fact in the future communication, I think I manage quite well ...

 

...Thanasis, text on your nice website confirms my words  :)

 

...pete48, thanks again ... Now it comes the closing of the planking downwards, and finishing from the bottom to up ...

 

...Here are photos that shows descending downwards:

The planking looks very good. Spiling means to specially shape the upper edge of each plank to fit the curve of the preceding plank.

Maris Stella seeing the new photos, am I guessing right...The planking is going to be completed by going down from the margin plank to the keel.?

I thought it would end at the middle of the hull, making also progress from the keel...

Thx

Russ, Jay...thanks for the explanation of the word "spiling" ... specially shaping of the upper edge of each plank to fit the curve of the preceding plank  is the basis of the single planking ... it is done here at every plank (except at the starting one, the uppermost) ... And something else : the upper edge of the plank is cone cut so that there is no space (gap) between the planks... And of course, this is done only at the top edge of plank , lower edge of plank is not cut ...

 

Thanasis...When the planking is going to be completed by going down to the keel, it is a way of planking. ...When we talk about a model that's not a mistake, at least not great... Finishing the planking in the middle of the hull is another way of planking. I suppose you could have done so ... Here I have done neither ... Now, here I will start from the keel and connect planks with those set uprights ... Connection will be below the waterline, in the colored part of the hull...

 

Here are the photos, finishing from the keel up ...

MarisStella, it just appeared strange to me that a hull planking can be completed starting only from the gunwale (or the margin plank) and yes, it's not my method. 

Most of the times the shape of the hull doesn't allow a plank or the planks of the same row, to reach the edges (stem at bow and stern).

At least without force and some work with putty afterwards...

And I'll agree with you that there is nothing wrong in ship modeling, although you should consider going along with logic and aesthetic...

Btw, good work post-617-0-43873900-1402841385.gif... post-617-0-40077200-1402841407.gif

Hello to all...

 

Thre is something I must say:

... This type of hull is very simple, so it is possible to derive such a planking  ...

 BUT ! It is important to say for the general planking !! :  

1.) When the scope of the midship section is significantly higher than the height of the post, then the width of planks on the post would be very small ... To avoid this it is necessary to reduce the number of planks that reach the post...  Then, in the middle of the hull, among planks, should be input long inserts, blunt ended ... they are cut into the top neighboring plank and in to the bottom neighboring plank  ... Then the number of planks on the middle frame is higher but the number of planks on post ...

2.) When the scope of the midship section is significantly lower than the height of the post, then the width of planks on the post would  be very big ... To avoid this it is necessary to increase the number of planks that reach the post...  Then, on the post, among planks, should be input short inserts, blunt ended ... they are cut into the top neighboring plank and in to the bottom neighboring plank  ... Then the number of planks on the middle frame is lower but the number of planks on post ...

... This is to be done when the complex shape of the hull is present ...

... This is the theory ... In practice, before the planking, it is necessary to consider the detail of the shape of the hull first and to decide what steps will be needed ... Well done planking depends on the good calculation ...  ... It is my perception ...  :)

If I understood correct you're describing the method of planking by the use of "drop stake-joggle plank" and "stealers" which certainly is acceptable, although I think it was used only in large vessels.

So, there is no any disagreement and we can move on...post-617-0-23065100-1402871840.gif

... I could insert a shorter plank in the middle of the hull here, so it would be 100% authentic, but it would be in the colored part, below the waterline and it would not be seen ... I did not want to complicate ...

... Then  I removed three square brackets and the bulkhead from the middle of the hull ... I put some putty on the hull filling eventual gaps...

Looks good, I guess I will build a workstand too for my next build, it seems to be a good idea. Onced finish planking, are you going to make a new workstand? Normally I prefer buildlogs about big ship (lots of cannons and stuff) but this seems like a nice scale for detail, which bigger boats have in a more moderate amount for obvious reasons. I was wondering if your company had an internet site?

Great planking job.  I have found that on boats of this type it is not easy to get a full run going clear across.  Bravo.

Tthank you all for the compliments ...

schnu... model is to be in a work stand until it is completed, or until it is done ​​so much that can be placed in a display stand,,, in the work stand model must  stand solid that you can work all kinds of work: drilling, gluing, etc. ...

... The address of our site is lowermost in my profile ... thanks for asking ...

OK ... here are a few more photos ... now the hull is polished and ready for the next phase of work ... :)

Hi...
...there is no some special way of polishing the hull ... first do some grinding, for example with glass, then fill the gaps with putty, then do sanding with sandpaper, with fine one and then with the finest one in the end ...
