Wooden Model Ship Planking Pt 2

[@dennistrue6473]

I've only watched 1 minute of video. Great idea using pencil calibers. You have been added to my watch l;ist. Looking forward to your videos

[@rhondajones1313]

Finally, I found the answer to how to straighten my hull planks up. Thank you

[@ianrobertson9956]

Good stuff. This helps a lot.Obviously perfect is very difficult but good is achievable. I'll get onto it all the way from Adelaide South Australia!

[@thomashockin4128]

Once again real informative!! I appreciate seeing the actual work involved! Thanks a lot!!

[@robertsykes3242]

Great i am beginner …..a well done video. Looks like i am going to learn live with mistakes.

[@jamesdarlack4898]

Wow, thanks for adding this second vid, it gave me a heads up on how to handle one of the situations I was concerned about.

[@966Mako]

I got a Chinese Junk my late father bought to do. I am at the planking stage, that's why I'm here. My dodgy/spars instructions & want me to start planking at the deck & work down to the keel. I don't know if Iv got it in me to do this, but I'm pretty stubborn & don't give up easily. Oh, well. Covit19 is a good excuse to crack on. ✌🏽️

[@orangenblk]

Great lesson on spiling

[@markanderson6707]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm at the planking stage of my Model Shipways, Glad Tidings. It'll be a while before I take that on.

[@MariaMusicMoments]

Hey! My grandpa was wondering where you got those clips from. Did u make them? Are they online somewhere?

[@kennethbascom2577]

Yes I did make them , you can purchase them from the dollar store . Please see my other video that explains how to make them . Thanks for the question .

[@matthewemmerik7420]

great video and realy good advice glad I watched it.

[@mattivirta]

what have good plank sice ? i think made my IOM boat palnk maybe 2mm x 5mm size or what have better ?

[@rterry2752]

Staining with dried glue on the wood looks bad, any fixes for that ?

[@ch34pskate16]

Great idea! What was the glue you used to glue the planks onto the frames.

[@kennethbascom2577]

I use both super glue when needing a fast set , and wood glue for long sets.

[@mattivirta]

@@kennethbascom2577 normal, wood glue and many position super glue too. other not working.

[@khelagharbaganbari3320]

Thank you sir. Your planking technique really helped. I just want to know the type of stain you used there for your model. What is the generic name to look for in the market?

[@kennethbascom2577]

regular minwax stains

[@ejay1912]

God bless you too sir

[@MrJeffrey196]

does anyone know where to get those planking clamps

[@onenut4you]

Question ? does it matter if the Keel is off by 1/8 inch or not ? I am building a boat that's 49 " L x 12" w and it's keel has a very small bend in the middle of it... that put's it off by about 1/8" - will this make the boat turn when it's in the water or not ! All my boat's are R/C ... so far I been Planking it ... started from the bottom up ... on both sides. an so far it's kind of so' so ... on the looks of it.

[@kennethbascom2577]

Thanks for the question , yes that's a problem sure if it was a full size ship it may not make much of a difference , but on a R/c scale model it will be hard to trim that out, I suggest that you place the keel in some water let it get nice and wet but not soggy and then place a flat plum board on top and put weight on it and let it dry , if that doesnt work go to your local hobby shop and make a new keel.

[@onenut4you]

Kenneth' thanks for the info- but after trying many things with it- and asking place and friends about even called up Dumas and they told me that it being a model boat- and Being that it won't be in the water all the time... to just go a head and built it like it is... you can always trim it out on the controller' after wards... so will see' how it goes' got the hull just about done' - I don't know why but every time I make a planked hull one side always seem to come out better then the other side ...but in the long run down the line it looks good. but to me I know what it took to build it' so I can be picky about it' ha ha' I have been building boat over the past 20 yrs now... and have so much stuff to build them with ... as well to. But have found no one wants them it seems any more- I have tried to sale them ... but got no takers... I have given a lot of them away... and the rest just sit and rot on the shelves'... I live in AZ where it's hot' ...you know'... have a good life' I am now up in my mid 70's = John'

[@onenut4you]

ok Kenneth' B - after putting the planking down - I have noticed that the bend isn't all that bad any more... yet as I get farther in to the finishing of the hull - it might go either way- won't know till it's in the water... thanks for all your help just the same'

[@dennistrue6473]

It's up to you. If you make that kind of error when building the skeleton the boat will never go together. If you are willing to accept a flaw like that maybe take a break from the model. I lost a small piece that was easy enough to replicate in about 30 minutes. You assemble plastic models. You build wood models. Watch some videos by John Aliprantis. He's top notch and shows everything. He will answer your questions too.

[@dennistrue6473]

Sometimes you will have to bend a piece. Very easy. Wet the board for about a minute and apply some heat and bend or twist to shape. I like using a torch attachment to a qt propane tank. Secure tank and bend away. be easy. It's easy to break a board if you go too fast.

[@radiocontroltoys724]

How where you gluing the board to the ribs, What did you do to hold them against the ribs ,In till the glue dried?

[@kennethbascom2577]

Im using Elmer wood glue , but Im presoaking the planks so that I can make sure they fit before gluing . In some areas I am using crazy glue for those that need instant adhesion.

[@captainprototype187]

This first time model builder had t\ cheat at planking. Next time I will know what to do.

[@Mr300zx90]

great job .im trying to planking for long ship

[@mattivirta]

same me, try plank first time 1Meter long J-glass boat.

[@JohnSmith-zv8km]

nice tutorial thanks

[@noelkelly5693]

what kind of clips are they ?? name ?? look like office clips but the seem clip in multiple directions :/

[@noelkelly5693]

also what's best way to mark the ends of the planks to fit in at the ends where the narrow at the ends??

[@kennethbascom2577]

They are office clips , what I did was separate the handles off of one to make two others. I can not take credit for this design as I found them on another model builders page . go to the dollar store and pick up three packs and your good to go. I also used paper clips and cut them to make the dual directional ones.

[@kennethbascom2577]

Look for a planking fan , there are a few you can look up on line , if you look at my first video I show how it works . Thanks for the questions .

[@robertswickard8355]

You tapper all planks from bow to stern

[@rachidbensaid4665]

[@crazyimpala3165]

shouldn't you allways start planking from the top?

[@kennethbascom2577]

Its a personal preference Crazy, I will say that I have watched many videos on planking the full sized ships and they start at the keel first and then go to the water line and make up the differences in between the two.

[@crazyimpala3165]

+Kenneth Bascom and what glue do you use? I need a glue for a rc model. Can you help me?

[@kennethbascom2577]

I use elmores wood glue for anything that I can let set. If i need a fast ser because of a bend , like the planks i use crazy glue. What really helps is soaking the planks before hand, and placing them to dry on the model before gluing that way you can determine any adjustmenta before accutally gluing.

[@jwalker3813]

what kind of wood is that

[@kennethbascom2577]

Basswood is what came with the kit !

[@crazyimpala3165]

hi i bought the krick bruma and i want to make it radiocontrolled... so it will be in water for hours ... and i dont know what glue or paint i shall use ... can u help me? i only know that it should be a epoxyglue. can anyone help me?

[@kennethbascom2577]

I would suggest using a water proof glue for starters , but the real problem comes with the kind of hull finish your going to use. I went to Chapman school of seaman ship in the late 80's and one of the course was on boat finishes . I will say that you would defiantly need a marine varnish polyurethane to prevent water damage . Now If your building a large scale model then it should be easy to find a dark or even white poly to use. I would also suggest using solid hard wood planking for your hull as they will last longer. Remember that for any hull painting use 3 thin coats . Hope this helps

[@mattivirta]

@@kennethbascom2577 ALL good boats used only polyurethan if want good top coat to ship.

[@funkygrib1]

Simple method, I will use that THANKS

Divider's, not calipers

[@kennethbascom2577]

Thanks for the comment , but actually I used a Giant Bow knee joint compass for this . You know when your trying to do to many things as once you forget certain terms !

[@johnryan2193]

Steam ?

[@kennethbascom2577]

Yea steam helps make the basswood planks pliable

[@giuseppecapilli1954]

This is not the way they use to plank a real ship, they used stealers.

[@copferthat]

It's whitewood planking, all this is unnecessary.
