do you think using the Velcro bandages the nurses use at doctors' offices might work?

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

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

Hello there
can someone help me with a issue I am having regarding bending a tight radius for the stern planks
yes you read it right I am still having trouble making the tight turns on the planks no matter how many
videos I watch on how to bend planks they still seem to want to split at the turns on the visible side of the bend, I tried soaking them in how water for 12 hours but of course everyone knows the water is not going to stay hot for 12 hours, anyway I tried using the crimpers along with the iron, I did notice I do get a better crimp if I use the blade side instead of the blunt side, I don't what else to do and I am running out of planks and the one I will be getting from model space will be awhile before they even show up any new ideas will be most welcomed and appreciated. thank you

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

the other side of the crimper blade is a wedge shape edge like a blade sort of and the opposite side of the crimper is flat

maybe a small piece of pipe like 3/8 maybe smalle,r I have been using the middle part of my soldering iron
to make the bend even after it has been soaking for a while but it keeps on splitting I'm doing something wrong for the plank to split like that

I understand it's not the video you are talking about but wow if he is able to bend a piece of wood like to a U shape you would think I would be able to make the sharp turn that I need right

Ok everyone My Amati crimper arrived yesterday but before I try to use the new ones would like to know which side of the blade is the best even thought I think the chisel side makes a better crimp then the blunt side but I was told by someone from another site to us the blunt side, I tried the blunt side as told but I can't see how the blunt side is any better, because before my other crimpers broke I was using the blunt side and found it didn't crimp that great and the planks were soaked in hot water before using, I will try it again today, also I do not have any source for steaming the planks all I can do is put the planks in hit water for 12 hours as recommended by the same person from the same site as mentioned earlier in fact he recommends using the iron first then the crimpers. so I'm open to any suggestions that might help me make tight turns using either or both the iron and crimper or just the iron thank you
