harlequin Posted May 26, 2013 #1 Posted May 26, 2013 Anybody ever removed planking from a ship to replank. There are several flaws on my HMS Victory that I would like to remove. It would involve removing approx a quarter of the planking from below the waterline. This model I completed 18 years ago and although the flaws are not too bad they are winding me up. Should I attempt this or not?

harlequin Posted May 26, 2013 Author #3 Posted May 26, 2013 Cheers Billl.....I thought that would be the best method. If I remember some of the hull is attached using contact adhesive and to get that off would be a nightmare.
