[quote=saintsman123]I think you should check with mrT , as I think it looks ok. There should be a groove for bow sticky out bit to fit in. look at the official build diary. http://forum.model-space....uk/resource.ashx?a=877[/quote] Dontshootme is correct in saying that the stern frames need to be level with the keel which lies between them, it appears there is a slight groove.

Hi Rob, If I were in your position, I would remove the 3 row of planking that you have done at the bow and refit them, but with much more tapering towards the bow, i.e. have the planks taper from 5mm to 2.5mm from about frame 12 towards the box. After that, follow the instructions in the magazine and have a look at the different build dairies. I got about halfway down the hull before realising that I have not faired the ribs around the bow enough :(

Hi StefanDV, strange you should say that,it crossed my mind to take them off and redo them,as they just did not look right,not enough taper on them did look iffy.I seen some of the builds and they were rising up and not straight if you know what I mean and I was going for straight  . I just wanted to get it done I suppose(big mistake)I will do that at the weekend.I think now it is time for patience . cheers matey hey saint,no probs thanks for the help.

Hi Guys,latest pics of my build, does it look ok so far as I have filled the frames with balsa wood which has helped to get the line right. Bow and stern has three (one to go)bow looks the same,the two stern planks have not been glued yet just needed some advice if they look ok or not.I have been a very long time trying the bend,  still does not look right but will it be ok??  sandnesspeats attached the following image(s):

Hi Rob, I completed 11 rows of planking before I needed to taper planks looks like you are in the same situation so now when you fit a plank let it follow the path it wants to, then you taper it to fit that track. If you have triangular spaces (you should get these)then fit a piece of timber cut to fit that space (called stealers)please continue to soak the plank, fit it without adhesive with pins, let it dry overnight,then you will find the shape will be fixed.then fit it with adhesive. also put a bevel on the plank as it says in the instructions so it fits tight upto the next plank Your stern planks look fine 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.

The planking's looking fine Rob. Well done - you're making great progress. Re the bending of the planks - what Mike (MWG) said.

Nice Hedgehog  ! You can take the pins out as soon as the glue has set. I started every planing session by removing the pins from the previous session. (The little side-cutters in the free toolkit works very well for this)

Hi you have a really nice build, if it was me I would be inclined to pull the pins out once the glue is set 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.
