Thanks Jeff - appreciated
Would that be soaking in just water (i heard somebody mention a bit of vinegar in it too)?
The pictures doesn't really show, but its the aft section that needs the soaking most, as it has more of a twist to it as well as the bend.
Just water is good enough.

I think soaking that bulwark for 20 or 30 minutes would be a good idea. You can then clamp it in place and allow it to dry to the correct shape. You can speed up the drying process with a blow dryer. Its hard to tell from the pictures but it doesn't look like you would need to soak the aft, just the bow section.

The last one I did was the Missouri. I didn’t remove any deck detail. I glued it down with watered down PVA.

I agree with Chuck. You are doing a really nice job on what is a pretty challenging model.

I finally have an update. I finished the first layer of planking. I was just winging it and wasn't really being too careful here as the second layer will cover everything up. I still have a bit of sanding and filling to do to make sure I have a nice smooth surface for the second layer.
