[dragzz]

ok what i did here is took out the ribs and now going to sand them so thay fit in there place thats what it says in the plans  so far so good

[Adrieke]

i have seen this kit at my local hobby store. looks like a nice build. first advice i can give you is to check everythign and go thorugh the instructions  and plans.

[dragzz]

yes thats what iam going to do i read the plans and the book 2 times and cut once right  iam new to wood ships i will update more real soon tys for the info

[dragzz]

     ok now what i ahve done is glued all the ribs in there place just like the plans say   read twice glue once  lol    tommorw will have to do sand the top of the ribs  so far it look good and clean

here i add some filler like thay say in the plans for both ends more pic to come

[dragzz]

 

now iam starting on the inside planking that is hard to do not to sure if i can do it i got to wait for the glue to dry befor i go to far iam just going to do one at atime this going to take for ever . iam getting there  .i guess slow is that best to get it done right

[Adrieke]

planking is usualy a slow one plank at a time process thats why some of us are doign 2 builds at a time

[dragzz]

iam doing good so far nothing has broke yet lol id like to know can i use steam on the wood to help it bend better

[Adrieke]

there are several options for bending.

 

my preferrred method is soaking in water then use soldering iron to bend . this works great on baswood.

 

using a steambox like in real is a good option too

[Garward]

Try before flexible to presoak for a while details in liquid ammonia, it usually helps even for thick details.

[dragzz]

thank u  garward for that info i will try thos  will post more pic . ps going to try make jig for the bends with a scrap pic frist soo how its going befor i do the real one
