    Still working on the "vertical bending" process - realized i used too thin of a central "pusher" piece to push the plank vertically while bending and applying heat. Also used the electric bending planking tool on the plans already glued which helped to smooth them better to the frames. (going a bit slow at the moment)

    Thank you!! This is very helpful! i did try to do this but with hands after soaking planks in hot water - and after watching this video i got together a similar thing for the planks to bend them "vertically" and will go for the method for the other plans (i am taking it is fine to leave the other two as is)

    After really long pause with all kinds of life stuff in there back at it... Finally semi-fixed the overzealous sanding issue on the keel from before by inserting a strip of wood; re-attached and glued again the starboard side to be more aligned with the height of the transom... and then did the step I dreaded the most - first two planks, one on each side. One part of the starboard that was holding on with the very thin layer of glue has come off again while pushing the pins through the planks... will need to be glued again. One had to be redone since broke off during bending.. hopefully the first and the last.

    Installed base gun ports, so far so good... next is the decision whether to fix the keel from too much sanding or not (most likely yes) and then do the plan for the first layer of planking. Following the videos and instructions from this forum will be measuring them out, tapering all of them, and then bending them vertically as well as curving them so that they follow the outline better.

    Finally after number of unsuccessful attempts started to build the first model, something that has been planning to do for years but due to circumstances in life never actually made enough progress. Still need to learn how to bend parts but luckily transom when I submerged in the water which turned out to be hotter than was supposed to be took the right shape/curved by itself right away! need to be more careful next time and use different method. This seems such a nice kit! Parts go well so together, I found that what I needed to worry about was not to get overzealous with sanding - took too much of the back part of the ship (one of the last pictures). Contemplating now whether to add some type of filler to it or whether the first planking will make this not-visible and it isn't an issue.. A bit scared of how planking will go but watched some videos on this forum and feel myself prepared - this is fun!
