Sharing your Florida weather with us is nice, but I'll pass on the hurricanes.Lookin’ good Jan !!
Whew, I guess the whole country is getting Florida weather lately.
That’s ok though. We’ll share if you promise to take some of the hurricanes also
Yup you are absolutely right, a great spot for a pin. I had pinned the 1st 6mm plank there initially. I also pinned #2 and #3 planks, I noticed a problem while trimming and sanding the ends of all three planks. The 1st plank's upper edge was glued in tight but the bottom edge of the plank was not. I did the H2O trick to loosen the PVA, let the area dry, gently removed the glue residue from the three planks and stern, applied glue to the planks edges and used the force of the rubber band to hold everything in place.Well done my friend - it's looking very good indeed. By the way, the area which I marked in red provides the ideal place to pin the plank against.

True story indeed. I beginning to think that each plank has an “attitude“.You are learning the WB's special tricks quickly, Jan!
This little ship is quite the challenge. The “Bad Word Jar“ is benefiting nicely.Hi Jan. Nice to see a positive result! Looks ok now.

They do; they DO! That is the beauty of this ship. I know this may sound like an exaggeration, but I think you have now discovered as well that you CANNOT treat two planks in the same way, not even if they are adjacent to each other and all logic tells you that it should be possible. It just does not work that way!True story indeed. I beginning to think that each plank has an “attitude“.
Wow, side by each. Who would have thought that possible. Hmm, I have only 150 or so pages to go to catch up.
Ach du lieber, ich bin ein Deutscher, nicht ein EngländerThat sounds way too "English", old chap!
Not YOU, Jan! The WB is stug!Ach du lieber, ich bin ein Deutscher, nicht ein Engländer
(difficult to get to co-operate, stubborn, unlikely to change my mind)
YUP, That's me alright
I'll have to show this to the Admiral. I can now tell her it's not me it's those Dutch shipsNot YOU, Jan! The WB is stug!
Excellent, Thought as much. I did that on the SB side, sanded the three initial planks smooth and then added the WalesI added the third 4mm before I doubled up on the wales. Reason is, that if sanding is required it is much easier to do while you have a flat surface.
