Hello! I need some help! I installed cap rails on my kit and i do not like the way it turned out. I used some left over cherry wood deck strips and cemented them in. I want to remove the material and start over. Can someone give me a suggestion how to make cap rails? I am trying to do a professional job on the project. Should I cut the shape out of a larger piece of wood and then shape and sand, or use a jig to wet the wood then mold ? Thanks, Nick

Good morning , yes the waterway, was the question, sorry about that. Thank you for a supportive group!. Never thought about boiling the wood, fantastic idea and technique! I have been working on wood ship models for over 25 years, i would like to find a simple and professional way to plank the hulls. I am proficient but there is always a better way! So many ideas out there, I like the term "Kiss". Nick

I am in the process of building this model also, thanks for the tip on using shellac. The deck is still in a raw state nothing applied to it yet I find using water wood putty works very well for filling holes and cracks. The stern has been driving me nuts to construct it. An old craftsman told me about that trick. I will send pictures if you like? I am new here, but i have been building wood model ships for over 25 years. I still need to file out the scuppers. Nick
