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 ...

Hello Friends
due to a lot of pressure in the office and some holidays I not had the time to work on the ship..(life you know lol)
but now im back and I have finish the fairing process and also I painted the interior of the ship black matte (using airbrush )
and now im starting to install the gun ports patterns , I have some questions of this stage ..
but first of all i will post some new pictures of what I have done
here is an example of correcting the angel of the front curve of the ship
I had this problem : you can see that the tops of the bulkheads not running straight
but in the other side it was a perfect so I decide to put a straight timber from the front until the last one of this section to see how much the top bulkheads tuning out from the line on the good side ( they was about 3/4 mm):
and I did the same to the other side ... so you can see exactly how much you need to glue and how much you need to sand...
and here is a pictures after fixing :

Finally lower part of the hull all covered with the second planking, but still needs more work, sanding, sealing, varnishing... The small gap between the planks has been purposely left so I will fill with a black filler. Probably now I will continue work on the upper gun deck and continue the upper part of the hull and wales later.
A few photos:

Thabk you friends
when i was talking about how to make the curve in the strip... i was talkink about the curve of the plank that going to fill the mess bulkhead and because the bulkhead has a curve in the middle
i need to fill it with some curved plank
and about the cuve of the ship i will do it with the electric plank bender
by the way the last ship i did without the electric plank bender i just soak the planks and used them ..
but any way thank you !
Michael.

Doing this part of the build right is a slow process but will pay out huge in the end. I agree with David in checking your alignment everywhere. It is not uncommon for a frame to have a dip on the lower hull and a hump on the upper side. Even the laser cut frames can have problems and so go slow and slide that plank up the frames from bottom to top and make sure they are all correct. Your planking will be a lot easier and will indeed go faster if you do.
As for the actual bending, there are some good videos and discussion topics on the site for bending without water. I have not used this method much myself yet as I still prefer to soak my wood and then use a modified soldering iron to bend my planks. My biggest advice with plank bending is if you use water to soak the planks, be sure they are dry before installing. Water causes the wood to swell and when they dry they shrink. That causes gaps in the planking. As long as you dry them out first, and yes heat from a hot air gun will do this faster, you will be fine.
Again, if you have not done so, check out the tutorials section as there are lots of good ideas, videos, and pictures there as everyone does this a little different. Good luck!!
