hadesmr Posted September 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 23, 2020 Hi there, Welcome to my building log. Resumed the building this year and wanted to share some of learnings. More pictures than words:) This is my first build and i have obtained plenty of useful information from this forum. 1. Align frames straight and sand them properly and smoothly which will make much easier for planking 2. Use the first layer of planking as practice. Measure the gap and do some math. In short, the middle is much wider than the front and end. There are several videos in YouTube that i found helpful for planking. i would suggest to finish one plank in the center and start from the bottom 3. Mark the position of the gunport. Cut the gunport after the first layer of planking is completed (this is different from the manual) 4. Spend more time on the second layer of planking and try to avoid small gaps between planks. if you do have gaps you can use wood fill or scratch wood to fill it in 5. Buy different grades of sand papers, sand blocks, pins, clamps, super glue gel (better than liquid), knife blades, stains, etc. It may take a bit longer for the next update. Cheers, F GrandpaPhil and BLACK VIKING 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
