    thank you so much Steven. I have looked at the build logs, but verything is just very new and quite confusing for me. It was ignorant of me to think this was going to be like legos lol! I'm going to compare all my timber like you said. Thanks so much for everything I feel more comfortable now that I talked to a real person about these things I'm confused on. I'll send you some pictures of my progress

    The darker brown wood has a sticker on it that says "hull planking" so I imagine thats what I use to plank the bottom of the ship. Theres another bundle of wood that says "deck planking". I just need to figure out what I do before planking. (which is step 3).

    thank you so much for the response. Here is the other diagrams shown in the manual. I'm not sure if this is the information you are reffereing to.

    Hello all! This is my first model ship I have ever made and I'm determined to make it look beatiful! I posted a question awhile back in regards to making the frame but due to family issues I had to take a LONG break with making my ship. Upon my return I find myself quite overwhelmed and confused. The manual (which I inluded a photo of) gives little to no detailed information on what I'm actually supposed to be doing. I'm not sure where I'm supposed to put the nails (in step 3) and I dont know what wood I'm supposed to use to start planking the bottom of the ship with. I've never even planked before! I've looked up many videos and articles and nothing is specific enough. So my main questions as of now- 1. Clarification on step 3 2. What wood do I use first to plank with? I appreciate the help, I really want to get into this hobby so I need experience but I also don't want to mess my ship up! Thanks for the help! My ship is the "Greek Warship Bireme - Amati - Scale 1/35". Also, if anyone can send some videos that are helpful to beginners I will be willing to watch them, esspesially if they are specific to this model or videos/ articles about this model. I've seen a lot but I would love to see what you guys recommend, thanks!

    thank you everyone for your responses I really appreciate it. I found quite a simple solution which involved simply sanding the pieces better so they fit into place better. thank you al!

    one more question, do I apply my BSI insta-cure glue around the edges of the frame? or do I apply it on the openings on the keel?

    Hello everyone, this is my first wooden ship model I have ever built and I'm determined to make a beautiful ship! I've ran into quite an embarrassing road-block my first day and I would like a little help. The first photo is my ship, the second photo is another person's ship. The top frame pieces on my ship are not flush to the keel like they should be on the second photo. The instructions with this kit are not clear at all, am I supposed to cut a larger opening to fit the pieces better? Please excuse my ignorance and thank you for your help! above is my ship above is another user's ship I am comparing mine to
