about how im banding sideway :
that idea I saw here in model ship world to use clamps and hairdryer
but my idea was for making that sideway bend to be exact I was using a wide masking tape by putting it from the bow to the second third of the ship in the Same height ,
in my case it was 16 cm from the desk
after all I was marking the line of the pattern
then I just put that masking tape in the table and I got the curve line
and after all I was bending the plank with a little water (using brush ) and clamps to be in the same line that I got from the masking tape
I did the same at the stern and after clamping the plank Im using the hairdryer
after all that process I made a molde as the bow of the ship then im using again the hairdryer with a little water (using only brush) for making a nice curve
the mold for the bow curve :

Hello Friends
here is a little update like I said before everything taking me a long time due to a lot of hours at the office
first I will start with a little trick for the fan method I got an idea to roll the fan printed at some toothpick
and it working great you can finde the distance between the belts lines very quick by rolling up or down the toothpick :
I also recommending when you using the fan method don't mark all the belts !! just the first one that you going to start with!
because sometime you can pass the line of the belt then you will need to calculate all the rest again ...
just finish the first one then after planking you can calculate the second belt act...

Thank you EJ_L and JohnReid
this evning i made the front clamp for holding the begining of the planks at the bow
i made the angle with the exact think as the kill for attaching it to the kill and holding the planks

Perfect working Michael. And those methods with a rolled fan and tape to find the right curve are excellent. I have to adopt these for my next build.

Getting rady to the next stage
I saw some plank clampers at the internet also i saw them in some build logs ...
but after talking with Moxis i decide not to buy the due the expensive price and also i heard that the metal clamp its very week ...
so i decide to make my clampers by my self ...
i got the idea for the screws from Moxis ,
for the handles i have use the head of the push pins , i took the pins out and drilled the holl with 2 mm dia
the screws that i bought was 1.8 mm by the Moxis advice
and after cutting the head of the screws i have glue them to the handle by epoxy glue ,
for the clamp i have cut drill and bend aluminum
here is some pictures:
The final product :

I also had to add block fillers at the bow between the blocks that i made before to the pttern suport
You can see in the post above pictures that the block fillers are installed in both sides

Hello there
finally I can update my build log ...
here is some pictures from installing the patterns process
I can say that edge of the second pattern at the top doesn't mach withe edge of the firs one (at the bottom )
also at the curve of the bow section ....
same thing between the third pattern to the second
so I found the way to know how much you need to trim from the pattern to get full touch between the edges
I have install the first pattern temporarily and then I was putting the secunde patterned I let hem lie on the edge of the first pattern
then I marked the edge of the secunde pattern at the bottom of the first pattern :
like in this picture :
after marking I took the first pattern out and trimed the edge to the line that I have marked....
I did the same thing at the second pattern by using the third one (at the third the problem was at the bow section but it was a big problem to make them touch ....)
here its some pictures of the process :

Also it says that the gun port must to be flash with the front of bulkhead 17 , the problem is that if it will flash with the gallery pattern all the way so it will never be flash with the front of bulkhead 17 !
So from all that question it must be falsh only in the middle (or the first third as the picture of the factory )
and after glue the patterns need to sand the axcess material from the back line of the gallery support also from the doagonal adge of the gallery support all the way to the kill to be flash as the gallery suport ! And need also to glue a little piece of wood from the middle to the top at the gallery suport to be flash with the line of the gun port
please correct me if im wrong

Now about the new stage (installing the gun ports patterns )
in the instructions it says that the first pattern must be flash withe the gallery support ...
it is imposible to fo that becouse if it will be flash with the gallery supports the front of the pattern (next to the bow) it will go to much down ...
also you can see even in the picture of the factory its not flash with the gallery supports ...(look at the red square that the pattern is out of the line of the gallery support )
also if the gap starting at the firs third of the gallery support and going out of the line its meen that at the bottom it will go in of the line !!! And if you will look good at the picture (on the green square ) you will see that in this section the pattern its more in from the line ...
