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
-
do you think using the Velcro bandages the nurses use at doctors' offices might work?
-
ok so where can I get
-
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
-
ooh I see now I miss read it wrong thanks, but for the garboard planks to be glued to the filler bit as in the photo I will need to bend it a bit in order to trim the curve as in photo 14 right
-
regarding the bow plank that needs to be glued to the garboard is it supposed to be bent slightly I am unable to tell for the photo that is attached please view the area in the cycle on the photo thank you P.S, I'm hoping someone would reply soon 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

so how long should i soak the planks for 5 min or more and hot the water should 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
-
hello there can anyone tell me why the planking strips keeps splitting? or breaking when I try to bend them for the stern did, I faired it to much or is the wood Im using I got the first two in place, but the third plank keeps on breaking or splitting I even trying to use my crimpers as well and heat bending, do I use a bigger head on the plank bender it's a good thing I have a lot of planks I purchased from Age of sail some time ago, can anyone help me please thank you PS enclosed is a photo of the area in question 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
-
all right thanks
-
Hello there Gregory is the 1/16x 1/4 basswood you mentioned is that exactly the same size as the wood the kit has 2mm X 5mm Ronald
-
ok thanks Bossman 12 hours was a recommendation from another site also I have no idea what type of wood the planks are made of but do like the way you achieved the bend and twist in the photos so how long is a good time to soak the planks if not 12 hours and did you bowl the water as well Ronald
-
as I said before and I say it again Bobby is not very helpful he doesn't show or explain how he did the first stern plank and that is the most important one of all once that one the rest will fall in place,
-
hello there Gregory I have no photos of the ships body lines they will help in case my Victory is just like the one in the photo by the way may I ask which video did that photo come from, in any case see that first stern plank he already added that is my issue at hand and I have soaked them for 12 hours, also what can you tell me about the grain theory, I have also been trying to find the right planks for the stern and how flexible should they be to the point of breaking PS if you go back to view the photo of the instructions part 7 is what I am trying to achieve with no luck in part 4 that type of bend I can get if that is the bend I need to achieve then I got it, I thought the bend has to be more of a L shape, Ronald
-
I have watched him already he may be good but not very helpful with others
-
are you talking to someone else about the Victory shown in the post, because it's defiantly not mind my frames or bulkheads are fine Ronald
-
yeah same design but different brand, did you see the photo of the instructions I added it shows the tight bend I'm talking honestly I do think the block can achieve the bend I need to make to go around the stern transom Ronald
-
enclosed is a photo of the page showing what I need to do, this page is from a model space Victory kit pack 4 stage 33 page 191 although part 4 shows the plank partly bent part 5 & 6 shows the complete bend and twist the twist I can get just waiting on my steamer, the bend I can't get right, as you notice in the photos or does the bend stop partly like in part 4 there are no signs of stress and splinters any where on the end plank, any one who is or was working the model space Victory will know what I mean Ronald
-
sorry gentlemen but I do not have a photo of my issue at hand trying to bend the stern planks with out splinting the plank at the bend Ronald
-
I see what you mean about cracking or breaking mine doesn't break yet LOL but you can see that it shows splinting all over where the sharp bend is I normally have been trimming the splinters and sanding the curve but just don't like the way it comes out, this will be the third time I removed the plank from the model and try again, which reminds me this question is for everyone would you know where I can purchase 5mm X 2mm X 300mm wood planks thank you Ronald
