Hello lovelies, here is the news again. I have finished the second planking above the bark timbers. There were problems at the bottom. Unfortunately, I started tapering too late and too hesitantly, which is why the mouldings started to take an S-curve and bulge. So I decided to leave the original and continue from the keel upwards. While the mouldings were drying on the hull before they were glued, the gun ports were made with a cutter knife and file. Which brings us to the next problem, because I measured them incorrectly and unfortunately everything is now 1.5mm too high. This can no longer be changed. A Corel structure like this is not quite as simple as I thought. It seems to me that this is going to be a disaster. But to be honest, that doesn't bother me either, because it makes the learning curve steeper than ever. I'm also not one of those people who would tear everything down again just to iron out the one or two millimetres. It has to look nice in the end and be fun to build until then. This kit doesn't emphasise attention to detail anyway, so I'll go along with the developer and build a creative version. Somewhere in the history I found a date on which the Victory sailed into the harbour from a Baltic Sea voyage totally dilapidated and warped. This will also be the date of my depiction, so we can be flexible. Stay healthy Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Hello lovelies, a short interim report on the second planking. As feared, this is proving somewhat difficult. These fibre strips for the first planking are super easy to bend and sand. But unfortunately you can't really get nails or screws into them. So you can only really adjust the mouldings properly where there are frames behind them. The next problem is the age of the nut mouldings. As you remember, the kit is almost 40 years old. They are surprisingly easy to bend, but unfortunately a quick bump with any tool is enough to cause the edges to break out unattractively. Patience is once again the order of the day here. Best regards in the hope that the translator works properly. To be more precise, the input. For some reason, everything is transmitted in German although I enter in English.

Guten Morgen zusammen! Ich beginne mit der zweiten Beplankung, wie Corel sie mit dem Rindenholz vorgesehen hat. Ich habe mir die Mühe gemacht, eine Hilfsleiste anzubringen. Das ist sehr hilfreich, um die erste Leiste präzise anzubringen. Außerdem habe ich beschlossen, die Hölzer, die für diesen Bau am Rumpf gebogen werden müssen, zu formen. Das ist zwar mühsam, aber ich denke, es macht im dreidimensionalen Raum Sinn, besonders mit den zwei Millimeter dicken Latten. Geduld ist ein Schlüsselwort in unserem Hobby.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
