sygreen Posted July 29, 2014 Author #31 Posted July 29, 2014 These are the pictures after gluing the deck I think I got the double angle correctly as well as aligning the stern What you think? coxswain and cdogg 2 Quote
harbm Posted July 29, 2014 #32 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) It looks good, I haven't glued mine on yet because I'm out of town. Could you please take a picture directly from above. Do your bulkheads extend beyond the deck in that view? When trying the deck on before gluing I noticed that some of mine do a little I'm not sure of we are supposed to adjust them so that they are completely flush with the deck but I think we are. I think it would be difficult tho given their flowing shape. Maybe someone else has input on this? Edited July 29, 2014 by harbm Quote
cdogg Posted July 29, 2014 #33 Posted July 29, 2014 Sygreen, looks good! My only advice is the front bulkhead might have to be lowered so the bow is pointing up. The only reason I mention this is because it might make the planking tough at the front. Also, the bow section may have trouble laying flat.

sygreen Posted July 29, 2014 Author #35 Posted July 29, 2014 Thanks Casey, The piece was staring me in the face and I didn't realize I had it. Appreciate your critique on the decking: "front bulkhead might have to be lowered so the bow is pointing up." how do I do that ? can't picture it "the bow section may have trouble laying flat." not sure I know what you mean Quote
cdogg Posted July 29, 2014 #36 Posted July 29, 2014 Just friendly advice, ill have to,take some pics to explain. My terminology is very general. The front of the deck has a flat half circle like piece that you have to deck plank. If that section is curved upward slightly it may not sit flat. Its Part 19. As for my bad ipad spelling, I meant that 'the bow is not pointing up'. It can still work but may make the top hull plank harder to lay parallel with the deck. You'll get it once you check out step 17 with piece 27. Hope that helps Quote Casey "I drank what?" - Socrates Current Builds: Corel Scotland Baltic Ketch 1775 AL Mare Nostrum 1/570 RMS Titanic - Revell Plastic Model Kit Finished Builds: Midwest The Dinghy Midwest Chesapeake Bay Flattie Midwest Muscongus Bay Lobster Smack Future Builds: Mamoli Golden Hind Mamoli Black Prince AL Swift
fishface Posted July 30, 2014 #37 Posted July 30, 2014 Really pleased someone is ahead of me so I can follow behind! Getting ready to go on holiday Friday (blissful week in Corfu; just me, self catering and a pile of books, sea a few feet away, pool, food and sleep!!) so not much done here Looking forward to progress on my return Quote

sygreen Posted July 31, 2014 Author #40 Posted July 31, 2014 Fishface, Nice to spend a week in Corfu. Wish I could be there Quote
sygreen Posted July 31, 2014 Author #41 Posted July 31, 2014 To harbm, My bulkheads extended beyond the decking as well. I filed them down and tried to retain the same shape. I'll post a picture to show you Was that correct Casey? Quote
harbm Posted July 31, 2014 #42 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I'm from montreal too. Go habs go! Yes, please post a picture from the top view please. I'm not sure how to file them down and still retain the same same complicated shape. I'll post a pic of mine in the next coming days. I've messed up one of the bulk heads trying to file it down, but Corel is sending me a new one . Edited July 31, 2014 by harbm Quote
cdogg Posted July 31, 2014 #43 Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) You want a little bit of "hips" at the top, check out pictures of ships from those days. The middle ones should stick out about 1-2mm. Also, I'm a lifetime Minnesota North Stars fan. The Wild are ok but it just ain't the same!

harbm Posted July 31, 2014 #44 Posted July 31, 2014 Yes, so we should file down only the top of the bulkheads to make it flush with the deck and form the 'hips'? Do you have any pictures of that stage? Quote
cdogg Posted July 31, 2014 #45 Posted July 31, 2014 Yes, I'll take a pic of mine tomorrow, actually I looked the manual, step 21. It's looks bad from above but it will look like that from front/rear.

sygreen Posted August 2, 2014 Author #46 Posted August 2, 2014 I finished the bow and stern fillers and think I got the angles right on the bow cdogg 1 Quote
sygreen Posted August 2, 2014 Author #47 Posted August 2, 2014 I am not sure of the stern. Do I file down the #9 bulkhead to match the curved stern? I am also not sure of the angle to file the sides of the stern I also made a mistake and cracked the curved piece. I glued it back together . I hope it doesn't hurt the final shape. I think I will be planking back there, correct? cdogg 1 Quote
sygreen Posted August 2, 2014 Author #48 Posted August 2, 2014 I think I still have some more shaping to do on the stern but unsure how much as I do not want to file too much Quote
Mike Dowling Posted August 3, 2014 #49 Posted August 3, 2014 If you are talking about the fairing then yes, I think you have quite a bit to do yet. Re your curved piece you will plank up to and over the sides and cover it with strips at the rear.

harbm Posted August 6, 2014 #51 Posted August 6, 2014 I managed to get a good shape on the #17 back filler. I'll post pics soon. For the front fillers did you end up cutting a bit of the flat part of both #15 and #16 to be able to fit them in? Quote
fishface Posted August 11, 2014 #52 Posted August 11, 2014 Sorry not posted only just back from Corfu. I'm in Cardiff (UK) and no further than before but will try do a build log but was slightly nervous that I may do it wrong!! Thanks both for your posts its really is helping me Quote
Mike Dowling Posted August 11, 2014 #53 Posted August 11, 2014 Just go gently and keep posting your pictures. Don't forget you can take a little more off each time but it's much harder to put it back!

sygreen Posted August 12, 2014 Author #54 Posted August 12, 2014 Hi all, I have finished with the bow and quarter deck section. I think it came out well. The stern seems to have work as well. Small problem but I will show that in the pictures. Pics to follow I think I am ready to start planking the deck. What do you think is the best length of plank and 2,3,4 or 5 step planking ??? Quote
sygreen Posted August 12, 2014 Author #55 Posted August 12, 2014 Here are my latest pictures. I mounted the quarterdeck and finished the stern. The sides post at the edges of the. Stern we're hard to do but I got them as close as I could Aussie048 and cdogg 2 Quote
cdogg Posted August 12, 2014 #56 Posted August 12, 2014 Looks great! I used the 2 method on the deck planking, maybe the 3 would be cool? I just went by the book since it was first time deck planking.

Mike Dowling Posted August 12, 2014 #57 Posted August 12, 2014 Yes, I did the same as Casey. You are right, those little bits at the stern were really fiddly!

sygreen Posted August 13, 2014 Author #58 Posted August 13, 2014 Thanks Mike and Casey, I think I will try 3 step method. How long should my planks be 90mm , 120mm, something else??? Quote
cdogg Posted August 13, 2014 #59 Posted August 13, 2014 I think I used 90mm. Take the plans and draw both on paper, use the one that looks best!

sygreen Posted August 20, 2014 Author #60 Posted August 20, 2014 Decided to use the 2 step method in planking. Realized that I had to be careful of waste in the plank material as there seemed to be a limited amount of it Quote
