Korabel Secret Vessel Morel Scale 1:36 Plank Beveling Question

[wlell]

I really enjoyed previous MSW builds of this unique model by shipmates: HardeeHarHar, Gummersall and Justin P and hope mine turns out as good as theirs.

I am confused by step 3.11 “Very carefully bevel the planking by the engraved lines following the scheme on Fig. 10.” First of all, I do not see any engraved lines and second, I am perplexed by the beveling illustration orientation. Is this an end on view? I have always beveled hull planks on the top edge only as described on page 31 of SIMPLE HULL PLANKING TECHNIQUES FOR BEGINNERS Written, illustrated & edited by: Dirk De Bakker (kelvin12) and Greg Brooker (gregb) With assistance from Dave Rogers (heliman41)

Any clarification you all could provide based on your experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

I was equally confused by the illustration provided in the manual.  I beveled the top edge, and shaped the plank further when it was required (not that often).  Good luck with the build (have you started a log?), and have fun with this kit.  The metal work is when it really gets interesting!  @Knocklouder, thanks for the shout-out homie!
