- Hi I am still new to model boat kit building but really enjoy the hobby
When I built my first kit I really struggled to understand the planking so hopefully this video may help someone new to model boat kits.
I am still learning all the time and hope to get better over time with more practice hopefully this video of the first planking of OcCre model Polaris might get you interested enough to starting this fun hobby.
Martin, great job! This part of the build is one of the most crucial for a good foundation. Well done!
Hi Genojoe you are so right what you say it really is crucial to get a good foundation for any build. Thank you for you kind comments.
we notice a real passion in what you do
Hi max you are right i do I am new to making these models and find them a great way to relax and learn new skills they are really great fun to do.
@@martinfranklin9369leisuretime Exactly! Relaxation is the key.
Helps a lot. I'm building my first wooden kit (Santa Maria by Artesania Latina).
Thanks for the video.
Hi Gladius
Thank you for you kind comment
Hope you are enjoying your build 👍
Excellent!!! Keep it up ✌🏼💪🏼
Thank you 👍 much appreciated
hey mate, what's the name of the tool you use at 1:20 called to inject the pins? I'm about to dive into ship building and haven't seen anyone mention it. looks essential!
Hi the tool is a pin pusher most model shops sell them and also available online from Amazon and EBay check the size of what you order as some sold online are to large for the small nails best to buy a branded one from the main model kit makers OCcre or Amati to start hope this helps enjoy your building. 👍
Nice work. However I have never understood why builders do not adhere to “scale planking” methods. While stealers and joggles are part and parcel, I have found a scale approach is actually easier and far more fair. A patchwork approach just seems the long way round the harbor.
Hi KillerKane I think you right I have been following the instructions provide with these kits but the more I build the more I learn about model boats and think I will try to go for full length tapered planks in future. Thanks for the great comment
@@martinfranklin9369leisuretime I use an old exacto plane. I hold it still and blade up. I pull the strip over the bed/blade. Then lightly sand the area where the taper starts. Works great for me and is very fast. You can still separate sheer, whale, etc. Just measure and spile each bulkhead and transfer to the strip. In a short time you will be able to do this by eye. Best of luck to you! Build away!!
@@killerkane1957 I will try that it sounds a great method to taper the strips thank you for the advice much appreciated
Can you tell me what scale this is thanks and you are doing a good job
Hi Paul
Thank you for your kind comment
This is a 1/50 scale model.
@@martinfranklin9369leisuretime Many thanks martin i am going to buy my self a model boat to build in the winter thanks paul
Excellent work and so educational to watch. If you can't get balsa timber, what other timber can you use. You would still soak other timber? How long to you leave wood to dry after clamping into position? Thanks.
Hi thank you for you kind comment.
You can use various woods most common is Beech,Lime,Ramin which come in the sets All can be soaked in water to make them pliable to bend.
As for drying most planks dry after a couple of hours at room temperature.
@@martinfranklin9369leisuretime Thanks so much Martin for you reply and help. Very much appreciated.
Hi
What is the name of the device with which the nail is inserted into the hull of the ship?
Hi
The tool is a pin pusher which can be brought from most model shops or online at Amazon or EBay.
Hope this helps
Hi Martin thanks for the videos a big help I am just starting polaris my first ship. 1 Question what type of glue do you use to glue on the outer Hull and the planking I cannot find a glue like the texture they use on the occre video's I am using a white wood glue but am talking about the brush on glue.THANKS.
Hi Cia you can use white glue for the outer hull planking but it can take a while to go off or you can use super glue you can get different consistency super glue from model shops from a gel to a very runny consistency I used a medium type. wear thin surgical gloves if you don’t won’t to get it on your hands don’t use to much and if you do get it on the wood fine sand paper or acetone will remove it easily once dry.
Thanks very helpful video. What is the tool called that you used to push in the pin nails?
Hi the tool is a pin pusher and can be bought from most model shops or on Amazon be careful as some on Amazon are very large and to big for the small nails. Hope this helps
Hi! I'm building a Mare Nostrum boat that I just bought online so it has a lot of missing tools. I just use a hammer to put the nails in which is very hard. May I know what's the name of the tool you are using to put the nails in? TYIA
Hi Jawi the tool is a pin pusher Occre and Amati make them and they are sold by most model shops hope that helps you,and hope you enjoy building your model.
Muy lindo y bueno
Gracias 🙏
Good video. How do you remove the deep sunk pins?
Hi Rob I use sharp pointed side cutters then fill the pin holes with filler.
I'm thinking of using this ship as my first foray into wooden ship building, in large part because I get to practice planking the hull once before I put the final set of planking on. Would you recommend this as a first build? Will you be posting any other videos on the Polaris?
Hi Johnny the Artesania Latina HMS Endeavour’s Longboat is a smaller easier kit with double planking but the Polaris has better instructions and is a great kit if you have a reasonable level of skill with hand tools jump straight into the the Polaris.
Unfortunately I didn’t get to finish the second planking or the kit as Polaris got knocked on the the floor and broke beyond repair so no new videos for now as building the Essex and have Palamos to build after that.But would like to get the kit again and build Polaris in the future.
@@martinfranklin9369leisuretime Thanks Martin!
What is that tool called for punching the small nails? thanks
Hi Nema the tool is a pin pusher you can get them from most model shops or on Amazon if you buy on Amazon get a model kit brand pusher some of the others are to large.
Where did you get those planking clips from?
Hi John the clamps are from Amati plank clamping set I got mine from Cornwall model boats Ltd on their website £8.95 pack of 12 plus postage, hope this helps.
I got mine at Dollar General dollar take one clip off the other 1. Put it on the other and 6:33
Another guy who don't know do it right
You've got lots of videos on how to do it right, eh? 😄
Do not plank a ship model this way. Terrible work.
Explain why instead of spitting venom. This only makes you look like a complete twat.
Why is it terrible work? I have the instructions and it clearly says to plank this way.
@@l.r.5263 please afford me the opportunity to apologize for my criticism, witch was way out of line.
