eye bolts and rings provided with the kit. Paint them black before
gluing them into pre-drilled holes along the hatch.
The deck planking should be staggered as shown in the drawing
on the previous page. You can color one edge of each plank with
a soft pencil to simulate the caulking between them. Do not add
the waterway at this time. It will be added later. Depending on
how much detail you want to add to your model, the planks can
be
tree nailed also. As mentioned earlier, depending on your
skill level, you can add them to the model as shown above.
The forecastle deck has two hatches. First theres the hole you
created for the running rigging and there is another that was used
for a removable galley stack. This hatch was covered with boards
when the galley stack was not in use. The cover boards have ring
bolts on both sides for handles. See the photos provided. The
coamings (frames) for these hatches are made from 1/16” x 1/16”
bass wood strips. The Poop deck doesn’t have any hatches or
deck structures. You can plank it as you did the other decks.
Planking and detailing the bulkheads…
There are five bulkheads that need to be planked and detailed.
Most of them will be completed now so we can add the two bul-
wark templates in the next step. The first three are shown in the
photos on the next page. It is easier to complete them while they
are off the model and they should only be glued into position
once finished. These bulkheads will be positioned at each break
in the deck levels. The remaining bulkhead (beakhead) will be
planked and added after the bulwark templates are positioned
later.
The bulkhead for the GREAT CABIN is a good one to start
with. It will be mostly hidden under the half deck once it is
extended later in the project. All of these bulkheads will be
planked with 1/8” x 1/32” strips. Plank the door first. You can
simulate the caulking between each plank as done earlier. Then
finish it up by gluing the horizontal planking around the door.
All of the decks (except for the half deck and beakhead) are planked with
1/32” x 1/8” wood strips, tree nailed and stained.
