Dragzz the planking looks uneven to me. Did you sand the frames to make the edges level and a smooth transition to the next frame . You are going to have a difficult time getting a smooth surface for the final planking. I have used Liqitex Modeling Paste to help level and it also helps with the gluing absorption when applying the finish planking. I would recommend you remove the nails because the planking is very thin.

I hope you don't take this comment bad.

Dragzz I am glad you started over. Be sure there is a smooth transition over all of the frames and be sure to plank alternate sides every two or three planks. If you don't you will warp the frame. There is a good book that has helped me  with modeling.  It is Ship Modeling Simplified by Frank Mastini. I got mine through Modelexpo-online.com.

The drawings do not call for any gunports for those between decks. If you plank there is no way to support these guns. Take a look at this area before you plank. I noticed it while installing some vertical supports where we have to cut out the gun holes.

Do you have a picture of the fantail looking straight at it? I have your side view.

there shouldn't be that much curvature.  what you can do is:   rib #4 - the beam cemented flush with the top of the posts  ribs #5-6-7 the beams can be cemented on the tops of the posts.  sand the chamber for the water run off,  and take down any high spots {rib #1 may need to have this done}   there is a slight curve upward at the bow,  so don't despair if you don't get it all.  hope this helps out.

rib #8 may also need to be adjusted as well........but if you've done it as a gradual curve,  it should work out OK

Hello dragzz

Ok here's the photo of the beams from your plans. As Popeye says the curve on your beams is wrong. You must have a constant curvature across the beam .... The ends of beam on bulkhead 11 should be level with the top of the bulkhead.. The end of the beams on bulkhead 4,5,6 and 7 appear to be the thickness of the deck, or the thickness of the deck plus the planking below the top of the bulkheads, it's hard to be precise without seeing the drawing. The dimension at the end of the beam 8, 9, and 10 is not easy to determine without seeing the drawings. Hopefully someone else may be able to advise you on this problem, is there any member who has built this kit on the site. But dragzz you must have nice smooth curve on them all. I would make numbers 4 - 7 first you can easily adjust the height. Just take your time, you are in no hurry, and it am sure you will get more advice that will be more helpful than mine....DAVID

Dragzz , when you were planking, you were using the large nails in the kit to install your planking. There are some smaller nails included in the kit that work better. Model Expo  sells a nailer tool that used the smaller nails and it works great. You don't have to use a hammer to drive the small nails. Just a tip that might be useful. 

Also I have the same similar slope on my model as you have. I measued from the top of the keel at the bow to the top of my top deck and I am very close to the dimensions on the drawings. I can't imagine trying to make major modificationd to the frames.

I hope you get back soon to your model as I was pleased to see the progress. Sorry for the beam miss . I am planking now and cutting the holes for the guns. This has turned out to be very difficult.

During my progress I noticed that the walls and underneather the deck at frame 4 is viewable and has to be covered with finish material, See what you think.

Also the outer walls under the top deck between frames 5-8 will be visable through the hole in the top deck. I will now have trouble covering the walls with a finish product because the top deck is installed..

Another problem is going to be at frame 7 where the frame is in the way of a mounted canon. Again please comment .

 

Believe me , I am just trying to build my model with some assistance. Not trying to be a nusiance. If you want me to stop I will.

Ahoy Dragzz 

 

I would say good is an understatement. I can only hope mine turns out half as nice. 

 

I am currently working on the fillers on my build. Not sure what wood was included in your kit but my fillers are made from some form of rock disguised as wood
