    Nirvana got a reaction from Mike Y in 18th Century Longboat by Nirvana - FINISHED - Model Shipways - 1:48   
    False decking accordingly to MikeY in Sweden, this to stabilize the bulkheads before fairing.
    First plank down matching the keel length.

    Wood stirring straws which are flexible enough works as a stand in for the temp deck.
    The bulkheads are rigid. No flexing at all.
    Sanding and planking will be next.
    Pretty happy with it so far.

    Pops, Thank you for those words.
    However, I think everyone in here will remember when one has done a repair or modification, even though it may not be visible to others.
    Admiral is happy and impressed.
    I also got a nice and tight fit with the smaller false keel part without any modifications.

    The new stem piece is in place, I preferred to attach the stem before the remaining piece from the false keel.
    The stem piece has little "extra meat" which is sand-able.
    On the other hand I got it perfectly straight!

    I even got the connection between the keel and stem tighter this time.

    Having a somewhat new shaped stem again I used double sided clear tape and attached the broken piece for the final trimming.This pic shows the two separate.
    Here they are taped for shaping.

    Put the plan in the scanner and had part printed.
    Used double sided clear tape and attached to the boxwood sheet.
    Next is the cutting and trim, and I should have another workable piece.

    Okay, repair work commenced and turned out that the stem piece was broken where the keel meets up, didn't see until I had the stem fixed without checking with the false and true keel.
    Bummer, new stem is to be manufactured.

    Sam,
    Keel and stem is out of Boxwood not the original material basswood.
    Otherwise your idea would work.

    Floyd my friend,
    A vise that is not true? Maybe depending on where you buy it from I presume.
    Smaller scale (1:4) shouldn't show it but in larger scale (1:3) it would.  Just for an example.......
    My false keel and keel is straight as an arrow, maybe I was just lucky.
    Bulkhead will be fixed e.i Mike in Sweden with false deck. This to create a straight hull before planking.
    And to create a stronger holding while fairing the bulkheads. :D
