I purchased a kit of the Smit Neiderland and some of the wooden part sheets are bowed. I have tried using hot water under weights applied to both sides of the sheet  to straighten with no result

Do I need to apply water to (one side) the convex or concave side of the sheet?

What other options do i have and how is it used?

 

Thanks for your comments

hi bikerbob . Not nice when it happens . Im no expert but from what i have read on this site depending on wwat pieces and how badly they are bowed it may be better to consider getting them replaced .Most of the main manufactures seem more than happy to replace any damaged or missing parts.I know it can hold up your build but better that than a twisted model . At least contact them and see what they say .

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
