vossy Posted September 25, 2014 #1 Posted September 25, 2014 hi all, is there a site/post that gives scale for deck and hull planking? i.e.. how many cms for a 1:50, 1:48, 1:60 model etc. this is for length. cheers chris Quote
allanyed Posted September 25, 2014 #2 Posted September 25, 2014 Chris, For length of a hull plank, any length between 25 and 30 feet long would be realistic. The width will vary along the length of each strake. The deck planks will vary as well as in both cases, the ends must land on a frame or beam. In addition, the outer strakes of deck planks in naval vessels often were anchor stock or other variation rather than straight pieces for added strength. A hull will have a number of different thicknesses between the keel and rails. Each deck will have a different plank thickesses as well, plus different dimensions for binding strakes if used. What ship, size, year, etc. are you working on. Allan Quote PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.
