Micro-Mark All-Metal Ship Model Planking Clamps – Set of 10, 1-1/4'' x 1/4'' – Stepped Design for Tight Joints, Knurled Aluminum Grip, Fits Bulkheads as Thin as 1/8

These worked well for an Occre kit. They do require some effort but they work, even for thicker planks and tight bends. Very helpful to hold planks while you drive in pins or nails. I use one on each end of a plank, then use a pin driver to secure the planks to the ribs.

Comes in handy when doing planking on a wooden ship hull. Butting up the planks to one another. Making sure the planks line up.

These are the best planking clamps available IMHO. They could be better, however, if the bars were steel instead of pop metal that bends too much. Terrific idea, as long as the ends do not come off, which happens occasionally.

I have tried many ways of planking ships. At the end of the day, nails, thumbtacks, or treenails are superior to the fancier approaches like this one. There are some situations where this works but the diameter of the screw is quite large and, should it fail, the frame may break. Furthermore, one end is heavier than the other so the tabs tend to spin under gravity and result in pointing the wrong way, requiring partial unfastening of the screw; the latter cannot be done more than say twice. The location of the screw is a bit weird too, if you plan on using the inside corner to line up the plank, you will fail. I'm going to continue using these where appropriate because it can make planking easier but it's not a substitute to doing it the old-fashioned way.

They are nice but won’t work on planking over about 1/8 Thick

My husband has been working on this project for a couple of months and is throughly intrigued! Great project for a retired engineer during the winter!

Tears up the wood when you try to attach them.

Strongly recommend . Its helped tighten up my hull planking . Be careful to not over torque the screws popping out . So far that has been an easy fix for 2 with CA glue ( drop of super glue)

Received thank you

An invaluable aid to model boat builders. Ideal for first and second planking.

très bon produit de qualité. Prix un peu élevé, mais je suis heureux quand même. merci

excelente herramienta para una mejor construccion naval
