Ok will post some pictures later but could really do on some tips on planking and pining as I cant get the pins to hold it ?? was wondering if I should use some super glue for planking or is this wrong? I am using Aliphatic glue at the moment.
i would not use superglue for planking, 'stick' with the aliphatic...sorry
I will try to explain the method i used, the planks will not bend enough without breaking or are difficult to hold in place with pins so i soaked them in hot water for a while, i taped the bow ends around a tin can and left them to dry, the stern ends might not need a soak, don't forget to chamfer the frames so the plank sits on them nicely, i used medium sandpaper, looking at my kit part 12 is fitted first..(i think..these instructions are as clear as mud
) mark a line near the center on part 12 for reference, offer up the first plank and mark this to match, you now need to chamfer the plank to butt up against part 12, i have a small 'David' plane for this, you could use sandpaper, instead of pining through the planks hold them in place by pining just under them, they will split easily especially at the bow, you should find by soaking the planks they are much easier to hold in place while the glue dries.
I'll try find some more pics of the hull..for inspiration..keep at it
