Kevin Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share #517 Posted October 12, 2013 sorry the post i was referring to was lost in MSW 2.0 rebuild, as with all the other convo about this subject i have borrowed this poto from canoe21 build i used the process where the lining piece is held between the handle and a piece of wood that when inserted through the hull and turned will position it 1mm from the external side this photo is slightly different one long handle and one peice at the required deph with a spike to hold the lining in place so thet it does not drop into the hull popeye the sailor 1 Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Kevin Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share #518 Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) hope this explains it a little better the mico bubble is just to ensure that it goes in straight, we have had good result in using this process, Of course the alternative would be to put the lining in flrst flush to the external side of the hull and then apply the 2nd planking, but i tried that, and did not work for me Edited October 12, 2013 by Kevin Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.

Patrick Haw Posted October 12, 2013 Share #519 Posted October 12, 2013 I tried putting in the linings flush with the first planking before doing the second planking too. Looked fantastic until I realised it was just about impossible to make the cuts accurately in the second planking and ripped all the linings out! I would be well on the way to completing my hull if it wasn't for ripping things out and doing them again!

Kevin Posted October 19, 2013 Author Share #529 Posted October 19, 2013 Good evening everyone it looks like i am going to put the Victory on hold for a while, im not bored with her or any thing like that, but i fancy a change for a while, and it is not a scratch build either, i don't think my skills are good enough just yet, and i certainly dont seam to get enough time to concentrate on learning all the new skills needed. i have made the decision to go completely the other way, and build the Trumpeter 1/200 Bismark, and hope to have it in the workshop in the next week or so, Please do not banish me from MSW, lol if you do - i will have no one to talk to other than the wife, i know there is one other at the same scale and two larger, and alll look great builds, i would like to share this with you, any one interested?

Kevin Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share #535 Posted October 20, 2013 thank you everyone for the comments the intention is to obtain the full PE upgrade kit as a complete set, even though i believe it is more expensive than the kit price (or at ;least about the same) i am still waiting for feedback and prices for supporting UK hobby shop prices before i jump onto obtaining stock from abroad- lol it's the postage that takes a good deal, into one that does not appear to be quite so good the Victory is safe and secure, and i feel very guilty about setting her aside, but thats all i am doing, Quote Its all part of Kev's journey, bit like going to the dark side, but with the lights on All the best Kevin SAY NO TO PIRACY.
