Hi!!!

The beginning of the sheathing...

 

[Uwek]

The anchor-stock planking, I correct myself - the Top and Butt Planking, is looking very good - a huge work I guess
I thought, that this kind of planking was used mainly on the wales of ship of the lines. Are you planing to make this kind of planking also for the "normal" hull planking?

 

[piter56]

No, further on the body will be "normal" sheathing.

 

[Uwek]

No, further on the body will be "normal" sheathing.

"Puzzles" on a sheath cut by a laser

 

[Kortes]

Very nice work. Apparently laser cutting makes the work easier.

 

[Uwek]

It is a very good idea to produce a number of identical planks like these with laser cutting. For most of the areas on the hull, they will fit very good and form a great wale. - Very good idea.
I am looking forward to see them installed .....
One question: The treenail dots which are also prepared by the laser......are these holes or only dots on the surface?

 

[piter56]

Dots are holes, 0,5 mm

....

 

[Uwek]

WOW - this is really looking very good
And how you solved it near the bow, with the curved planks?

 

[piter56]

 

[Uwek]

Well done - it is realy looking very good.....maybe a possibility for a small production for other modelers ...... to use such special planks for the wales
