tWell I have almost finished my Cheerful build after a few years and wanted to start something that I could build relatively quickly and more importantly relaxing before embarking on my next 'big' build. I bought this kit a year or so ago as a cheap bargain. Now we all know the anticipation and exictment we get from opening the box for the first time-- well you aren't going to get it from this

Hey all! So recently I posted that I had a family member pass away. He was really into ship modelling. I found three kits left behind in his house. Doing some research I found that the Renown is a beginners kit. I took inventory of the kit and everything is there. Now I have a lot of questions. The pictures that I will post will show how he started to plank the hull. Some of the boards aren't fitting properly and others are "springy". Should I or can I pull the planks and start over? If so, where can I buy planks? What type of glue do you guys use and are the nails neccesary? Last question, when you plank, do you bevel the edges to make them fit tighter? Thank you so much for your time.
