Even though I'm on my 9th build,,, I've never done a second planking b4... Surely, there is one or more in here.... ?:cool: thank you.... the material is .5x 6mm sapella.
 
There is a very good book about this issue from Donald Dressel, 'Planking Techniques for Model Ship Builders'.

One more to consider is Planking the Built-up Ship Model, by Jim Roberts, copyright from Model Shipways. Paper covers with 36 pages. A bit spendy but I got it when first starting out. Rich (PT-2)
 
Hi Allan!

Although I have been collecting shipbuilding books for several decades, I do not have a pure planking book. In many books, only a short section of the entire shipbuilding progress is devoted to planking.

"Planking Model Ships" shows all the basic steps, tools, adhesives . . . and is a valuable aid to the less accomplished modeler. My edition is updated in 2020 and has color illustrations. I like the booklet very much!

Best regards
Thomas
