End of today...

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Good start, now for the fun part.

 

[Mr.Deep]

One more remark.On frames, the edge must be stitched along the entire plane.And check by applying a planking Board to them.This way you can avoid breaks.Achieve smooth outlines.

 

[paulb]

Yup that’s important- I’ve done that - thanks. But I’ll recheck and be sure it’s as good as I can get it.

A little more progress. This is after the first rough sanding.

 

[Jimsky]

Hey Paul, you are a building machine! I just remember your photo with the kit box near the door... (just delivered) If I am not mistaken, it was about three weeks ago, and now you finished hull planking the first layer! Because of you, it looks-like easy... WOW!! Great Job!

 

[ken s]

It is a beast!!! I just finished a Santa Ana a few months ago. 48 and some odd inches long....ugh!!! Just the display case is a monster.

 

[BigMike]

I agree with Jim, Wow! Looking good your moving at light speed.

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Great progress, keep up the work and it will be past planking in no time.

Current status....

 

[Kurt Konrath]

Lots of work on gun port framing with that many guns on each side. And I had a tough time doing 8 on my cross section build!

[Mr.Deep]

Try to explain in the drawing.After pasting the frames, paint them dark red.The depth of the frames is about the thickness of the entire skin on the ship in this part of the hull.

 

[Uwek]

Hallo Paul,
your first planking is looking very good after the sanding - very good basis for a clean and correct second planking.
Very good sketch you made for the gunport
only one small comment, but I guess you know - only to be sure for everybody else

the red marked ending of the planking is incorrect - the green one is correct - the planking is overlapping the gunport frame


Very good work

 

[Mr.Deep]

Well, I just managed to draw it that way.I drew on my knee.It is clear that on both sides of the skin should go half the frame.I'm such a bad artist!

 

[WarrLight]

Am a little late to the party, but permission to come aboard please. Hope you don't mind if I follow in the sidelines. The build is looking great and you sure are moving along at breakneck speed.

Sensational effort. !!

 

[paulb]

Thanks guys for the terrific advice. The diagrams help to clarify things and will defiantly help.
I worked on the stern today, the rear gunport positions need to be adjusted a little ...


I also have this book on order:
