Always striving for perfection.
BALDER, Vlaardingen Herring Lugger from 1912, scratch build scale 1:50 Plate-On-Frame

All markings placed:
With a thin strip of tape, the top of the first row was marked out with a smooth transition:
And a quick picture of the first 2 hull plates:
I also put some thin pencil lines to mark where the rivets will come. Once completely closed ........
Phew ........... that was quite exciting!
Now she is official a PoF …..

Thanks, Herman. As you can see above I could not wait till 2025 with the plates …….

……. Almost ……..
Wonderful progress, Peter. Will the plates overlap or abut one another?
Thanks, Paul. Yes, they have a overlap of 2,5 mm. Place for 2 of 3 rows of rivets. Length wise there will be a overlap of 1,5 mm for 1 rows.
Regards, Peter
How thick is the (evergreen) plating? Will you need to bevel the edges to preserve scale?
It’s 0,13 mm thick. Perfect for wobbling ……. You won’t see a bevel …….
Whew, that's thin stuff! Christmas blessings to you and your family, Peter. Your work is a joy to follow.
Thanks, Paul. Also for you and your beloved.
Regards, Peter

Thanks, Jim. Also for you and your beloved.
