if you go to YouTube and type in HMS Victory build it should pull up model space Victory build or go to Model Space web site because I don't know how to send you the link sorry -
when I said Allen, I meant Allen from model space forum he is also the one who did the HMS Victory build on you tube

ok thanks everyone to answer your question if I'm using the nails only to hold the planks in place till the glue dries YES also, I was recommended to use nails thought model space Reps and the instruction even Allen shows using nails in his HMS Victory build. on YouTube and thank you Mike about the plier idea for micro mark Ronald

Hello there everyone. can anyone recommend the correct drill size for pilot holes to help with the planking nails I was told by the instructions to predrill the planks to help the planking and I'm running out drills to use I'm guessing they have to be smaller the nails right otherwise they would not help hold the planks down until the glue dries. thank you Ronald

Hi there fellow ship modelers I know it has been a while since I requested help with my model space HMS Victory, but I need your help again I'm at the point where you add the forward garbed plank to the forward bow near the false keel pack 4 stage 36 -page 146 part 12,13 and 14 I do not quite understand part 14 and 14 I had to remove the two planks twice already, I understand about having the planks touch the false keel by 1mm and only put glue on the ribs and the bits and to sand them along the line of the ribs but when I try to add the planks they are close to the bits and they are suppose to be bent as in the photo 11 attached has anyone come across the same issue and the video is not help full at all and Allen is not allowed to help me because the lovely Admin when I try it again what should I do this time the last photo is not pretty but you can see where the plank needs to be trimmed, if I have tear any paper shims out I'm ok with it any suggestions would be appreciated,thank you Ronald

Hi Mark I was wondering will steam work as well because I have a small steamer
-
thanks everyone who replied to my help questions regarding bending the planks, to answer the last Gentleman about the construction method that is the way model space wrote the instructions sir, Im following what they tell me to even though the instructions are hard to figure out, but I will try the pre-formed method, I have tried soaking the planks in hot water but don't know how long to soak them as far the wood purchased, they were purchased last year, to answer charter33 question I do predrill a small pilot hole before nailing Ronald

Hi guys and Gal's would any one know why Model space is down all I get a server error I wanted to tell Mark the Administrator that my planks that he said went out to me in October never did show up and I am about to run out of 5mm X 2MM planks to fix the stern area what can I use to substitute for that size planking I was able to find that size buy only in balsa but I find it to soft can it be used can it be bent in to shape using the same method as the for the harder planks Ronald
