here we go frist deck is all planked turned out real nice i think feels let for ever to get it all planked if u know what i mean like i say i have all the time time to go to the next step   

[dragzz]

here u can see i have now glued the deck shes looking good so far 

[dragzz]

as u can see so far i got the first deck now all glued down in one pic u can see a gap in the front its not all that bad might just fill it or the hull planking will go over it  think its best to fill it in first what u guys think i should do

Hello Dragzz,

 

Did you see the comment on my post number 9 from Andrieke, the slots in the deck.

in my KIT is was also wrong and I most correct it.

 

 

[dragzz]

yes i know about it tys for for the info

[dragzz]

as u can i started some hull planking looking real good but real sloe so i can get looking just right i did lines as i was going on it and it came out great so far  

[Adrieke]

very good start

[dragzz]

tys adrieke  the planking came to holt  the planking in the kit is vary bend and warped not to sure what to do with it right now iam trying to soak them in water and bend them back in to place so i can use them cuz i have no money to get new stuff so i got to do what i can do for now if u know of a better way to fix them ples let me know thank u

[Adrieke]

hello dragzz

 

soak them in hot water then clamp them between 2 pieces of wood and let dry for a day

[dragzz]

ok will try that frist adrieke if that dont work might have to cut the bad parts out and use it that way what do u think 

[Adrieke]

hello dragzz could you can take some pictures of the bad parts ?

[dragzz]

here a pic of one pice  

[Adrieke]

the suggested method should hopefuly take care of that

[dragzz]

ok tys adrieke its in the glamps now hope thay dry ok tys for the info

[dragzz]

id like to thank adrieke for all your help with you info on helping me with warped wood i had  in the pic u can the planking is all done on the hull while i was sanding some got chips in it i will just add some in thos spots  the keel strake in not in just its still in the clamps drying its warped real bad but so far its looking real good when the keel is in place i will update thy again adrieke

[dragzz]

as u can see in the pic the keel is now in place so the next step is to varnish it going to use spar varnish its closs its a soft clear coat i here its a good one to use   

[dragzz]

http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/177-king-of-the-mississippi-by-john46-artesania-latina-scale-180/#entry1280

 

I did notice that in Roberts build it seems the back rooms also don't fit. as far as I can remember that wasn't the case on my build

[dragzz]

yes adieke isee what u mean now looks like u make the in pic 5 u make it longer is iam right 

[dragzz]

tys for that link  adrieke now i can see what going on that link is a big help for me tys so much u are the best

[Adrieke]

hello dragzz

 

no worries

 

if you  decide to make the room longer you ll see that the slots of the deck on top wont fit so either way you go you need to do some adjusting
