read this from tomicks build diary -

Quote:
Forward garboard plank - The bow plank should run straight on from the centre plank, and is twisted to fit the false keel and fillets between frames 13 and 14.
Do not bend the plank to follow the curve of the keel, but allow it to run straight on.


have a look at his picture and you can see its around frame 13 and 14, which is about right.

Again taken from the brilliant MSW tutorial which can be read here..

http://modelshipworld.com/phpBB2/hptintro.php





When fitting the garboard plank DO NOT allow it to curve up the stem piece as in figure 15A inset, keep it flat and straight. This is important, if allowed to curve up this will cause crowding of the following planks to the extent that numerous drop planks will need to be fitted. Drop planks are dealt with under their own separate heading later in this project.


Best advice is to keep test fitting and take your time.

Noted in my diary ...."Forward garboard plank - The bow plank should run straight on from the centre plank, and is twisted to fit the false keel and fillets between frames 13 and 14."

Might be best you wait until you get hold of issue 36 which has lots of step-by-step photos of the process.
