The article is available in PDF format by downloading from the Fine Scale Modeling web site via the following URL:
The article addresses brush painting issues, techniques, and equipment
in the context of building plastic models. However, the information can
be applied to wooden ship models as well. The primary difference is
that wood requires primer/sealer and sanding between coats.

There are many good articles and a Practicum on how to build the
Sakonnet Daysailer kit model that is a plank-on-frame project that
would be a good "warm up" project before doing the IOD models.
IOD 36" fin and bulb kell r/c models are made with profile,
frames and decks like IOD 36" display models.
The profile and frames approach uses the deck to
hold the frames in alignment while the IOD 36" r/c models
use a building board like the one shown below.
IOD 36" r/c deep keel models are made with
band sawn frames set up on a construction board.
There are several ways to accommodate the planking thickness. One way is by a percentage reduction to the whole set of lines. But, this does not provide a uniform reduction due to the curved lines.
A more accurate option for to-scale models is to reduce the width of the planking thickness on the center line for each half of each frame. The following two images show the different results.
In the left image, Frame 10 was reduced 3% and overlayed on the regular size Frame 10. The keel area is not reduced for the planking thickness.
In the right image, half of Frame 10 has 1/8" removed on the center line and overlayed on the regular size Frame 10.
The reduction for the planking thickness on the center line of each half provides a more accurate to-scale model.
I provide IOD model frames reduced by any percentage requested at no additional charge. I charge $25 additional for cutting away the planking thickness on the center line of each frame for your planking thickness. That is due to the extra time required to make the changes. For display models, the slots in the profile are replaced with an etched line. For r/c models, the two half frames are joined after the planking thickness is removed from each half.
For more accurate to-scale models, each frame has the outside edges reduced for the thickness of the chosen planking. This is a very time consuming process which we can do by special order only. Please contact me for a quote.
