In the 18th. century they started to do rounded sterns and this is where it gets difficult for many modelers. If you imagined taking off a few strakes at the stern and if you were putting on the same number of planks as those amidships----- you would have a plank which widened to something like a fishes' tail possibly 20" wide (50cms.) ----hence they ADDED planks. The first book I ever looked at for POF ships was Harold Underhill's "Plank on Frame Ship Models" . It is about the Norwegian merchant brigantine "Leon" which was built in 1880 or thereabouts. Underhill gives various ways of doing drop planks or stealers, and includes rules for decking. I don't think it changed much from 19th. to 18th. centuries. Keith. | ||
