Hi Jonny Just looked in at your diary for the first time and must say I'm impressed with your planking...it looks really good... I'm having a bit of bother tapering the planks at the forward end - mainly what goes where, so I was happy to come across your post #93 (3rd photo) which gives excellent pointers!! How do you hold the plank steady when you are planing it? I have a little jig set up in a vice on the workbench in the garage - and I find that difficult enough, but I'm still on a steep learning curve and have picked up a lot from this forum. Regards JohnP

Regards JohnP Hi there John...Thanks for your very kind comments..they are more than welcome, even to us that have built more than a few models of this scale...And are still learning!! lol. As for steadying the planks while planing? I didn't use any jig just gripping the plank with my fingers firmly on the work surface. I used a Rolson mini plane and marked out the line of the proposed taper (along its length) say.from mid plank to end with a pencil and worked on the taper above that line..Once I had obtained the required shape I bent the plank using the plier type plank bender to fit the place that it was intended to be placed..I have found it useful to over-bend the plank just a touch to prevent it springing away from its fastening point as I had noticed happen with the very springy bamboo planks. Hope this helps mate and that you are enjoying your build.  Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas.

Hi there Ian...Thanks for your very welcome comment. The build is on temporary hold for a short while longer until I can sit outside to do some sanding on her as I can not carry out that particular task indoors..dust and health reasons. I am very anxious and really looking forward to cracking on with Sovereign as soon as possible and continuing my build diary...Thanks again mate.
