A warm welcome to you here at MSW Bill.

In short..... what Jaager said.   Take it all very seriously.

 

GOOD FOR YOU starting with the  top quality beginner series!!!   I did not realize any of the three vessels in the three part series had a double layer of hull planking.  Is that correct?  Double planking is mostly found in lesser quality kits but this series is tops.

Thank you Allan, you are right in saying these vessels have no double planking. My assumption was based on various u tubes. My intention is to move on to more challenging pieces but want to take baby steps initially,  expensive hobby to take up if not fully focused. When I start am I ok to show progress through the build log?

Cheers

Thank you Allan, I am looking to progress to bluenose next and impact glue was mentioned for the decking. 

Hi all,

I am new to model ship building always been a desire to start, and jumped in head first.

First real project will be the model shipways learning trio of models.

My question, if anyone can explain, I have watched umpteen u tube videos on the aspects of ship building and a number of them have mentioned impact glue for deck planking and second planking of the Hull. Is this the way to go or is individual planking using a good pva the way to go

Looking forward to your comments,

Bill.
