hi everyone
has any one else had problems with ribs 14, 13 & 11 on the right hand side of the ship i seem to having to pack out the ribs quite a bit, im just putting on the 6th layer of planking ive not over sanded them, i did have problems with 15 like a lot of people have but thanks to starting very late (ok not quite true i cocked up the 1st time & had to reorder) ive read a lot of stuff on here that has been a fantastic help

Hi Cal,
I also had a problem with rib 14 on the right hand side.
I ended up having to part cut the rib and re-glue, to get
it to flow with the other ribs.
So i had to alter both 14 and 15 on the right hand side.
Looks okay now though.
Jim

On the subject. Do you pack out the ribs to meet the decks or sand back the decks to meet the ribs?

hi stefan,when I put the decks in I had to sand a little off the deck straight edge,that made the deck correct with the formers,and only needed a few minor adjustments. Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/

Thanks Gentlemen! Received my next set of issues this morning, but am still waiting for part 31 before fairing can be completed and planking started in earnest.
