The instructions do state to file them down......I was thinking just use a nail punch and drive them a bit deeper then fill and sand? Dunno if it will work but will try.....and yes this is double planked so any mistakes will be covered by the 2 nd thin layer And Sjors just flip the screen lol when in my iPad it has it the right way when I put it in there lol

Ok life's taken a few turns sideways lately. Had the place all packed up ready to move and our dreams were taken away............so after some time got a spot to work on the ship again. I've glued in the upper stern and soon planking will begin. Oh and Kieth (themadchemist) inspired me to to put pirates onto my ship so here's my first try at painting the scale ones I ordered........ Ok may have more progress sooner the next time :)

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
