Regards, Bernd Bernd, thank you for that inspirational comment, it really is appreciated..  . Yes this is my very first build but have to say I would not have got to the stage I am at without the guidance and knowledge from some truly excellent modellers within this forum, too many to thank by name. Their diary's and tips have been a godsend and to everyone who has given comment on my diary or given assistance along the way I give my sincere thanks... .. Thanks again Bernd and keep up the good work..... Regards Alan

Hi Alan Its not uncommon to have a couple of mil short here and there as tapering and bevelling edges can take planks back, all you need to do is add an extra plank to make up the missing bit and sand back to the required levels later. Sometimes your a little hard on yourself m8 , your doing a great job and all you have done is a credit too you regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Thanks Andy for those very kind words... . Hard on myself, yes I suppose I am at times....swmbo has often told me I am my own worst critic but I also know my military background always told me if a job was to be done then do it right, don't waste time by having to do it again because you took shortcuts.... .. Will add the extra short plank either side and sand back as you suggest... Putting it all down to the learning process and that is one aspect that has hooked me on this hobby..... learning by experience and the advice of others.. Appreciate your comments and advice as always m8...... Regards Alan

First order of business was to trim down the overhanging planks at the bow and stern, leaving of course the 2mm overhang at the stern upright...This was done using a razor saw... Gandale attached the following image(s):
