useing elestic bands in stead of pins, pulls the plank in and up at the same time the pins at the top of the planks were only used to stop the top plank sliding up at the begining

ISSUE 23 Hi everyone, I have completed ISSUE 23 and I would like to address people who have subscibed to this partwork, but as yet have not commenced building. I have found when building this Great ship, there are things we need to do. When fitting the planks in this issue, we should shamfer the edge of each plank as it butts up to the next plank, this gives a better fit. when fitting the planks, which go around the hull and underneath the hull,we should taper the planks in order to avoid a clinkering effect, also this stops any strain on the frame. I believe these are points which could have been covered in more detail in the insructions. I am including a range of photos, which I hope will help you in your build. Questions and comments are welcome :- This is what we received MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Thanks Virtue, please make sure when you start to plank the Hull at ISSUE 22 that you put the first row of planks below the notch, not on the notch as it states in the instructions Regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

ISSUE 23 Hi Team as you are aware by now there are some instructions in this partwork which do not give clear build directions, and can be open to misinterpretation  and I am sure we will have more of this as the build progresses. Remember decks 104 and 105? I will endeavour to highlite areas of concern every week ,so you who have not started the build yet, can steer around them. One area I had to adjust is where the deck meets parts 116 and 117 I had to trim the tops of these parts, at the point at which the knife I am holding in the Photo meets you may not need to do this,but I am giving you the heads up,so you can watch out for it Question and comments welcome Regards Mike MWG attached the following image(s): MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.
