Manual

Assembly Instructions: Victory Art. 776

 Mantua Model Group August 2001 Page 7

STEP 10: Building the Bowsprit Deck

Figure 9: Fit the bowsprit deck n.38 and the bow transom n.39 in place as shown, and plank the deck

with 0.5x3 Walnut planks.

Using the full-sized side view on Plan 3, and using 1x5 Walnut planks laid across the ship, build the two

small sections of the middle deck where the ladders are to be placed.

STEP 11: Planking the Hull – Inner layer

The first (inner) layer of planks is made from 1.5x5 Limewood planks; the second (outer) layer of planks

is made from 1x5 Walnut planks. The thick black line on figure 10 shows the position of the first

planking strip, which should be positioned horizontally in line with the bottom edge of the keel. Proceed

with the planking in the sequence recommended in the specific instructions on planking provided in the

last section of this booklet. Where necessary, trim the planks with a Stanley-type blade or a hobby

plane as shown in figure 11. Plank from the top to the bottom alternately on each side and then add

more planks above the first plank to bring the sides up to the deck level and to make the parapet walls

above the decks. Use the cardboard gunport pattern supplied as a template for the parapet wall heights.

The diagrams in figures 12 and 13 indicate the appearance and profile of the finished planking.

When the first planking has been fitted, remove any nails or pins and fill any cracks or splits with slivers

of wood. Dilute some PVA or aliphatic glue and using a flat brush, coat the entire surface of the hull

planking squeezing the glue into the joints (see picture 1 below). When the glue has dried, scrape the

hull surface with a blade or scaper to remove any high spots and then sand it smooth.

STEP 12: Planking the Hull – Outer layer

The second (outer) layer of planks is made from 1x5 Walnut planks using the same technique as the

first. Fill any splits or pinholes and scrape and sand the hull smooth.
