HMS DIANA by Caldercraft 1:64 kit by Kimosubby [Kim Holland]

Here I am, first planking completed, just need to sand smooth and trim, no filling required.

I like the bow planking, worked well using the patterns and sticking to the plan all the way!

Now the second layers begins, but much easier, a better surface. Just need to scribe on the battens after cutting the gunports out.

Love that each strake ends at the rabbet!

Not sure what parts you are referring to. Do you have a pic?
Many thanks Kim.

Hi Allan,

thank you, yes all in at the bow. I'll cut another rabbet for the finish planking, only 0.5mm wide.

Sorry my wording confused you. For the first planking I glued battens across the hull to establish the plank true runs. For the second planking i will scribe (draw) the batten positions and not glue on an actual batten. I also have the outer planking plan from the Greenwich collection for reference.

I also have to cut out the gunports and will line them now before the finish planking starts.

Kim
