Thanks Heinrich,actually they are going fast,first will drill them and use my Permagrit and regular files.Than finish them off with sanding sticks.Very nice work Zoly. But now you have to cut all those gunports open again!

I like this kit - some really clever ideas
and good execution by yourself -> seems to be a good combination

Hello all
Planking is slower than I expected,one important advice for those who chose to build this kit,the planks are laser cut to shape and size(width) but not with 100% accuracy by purpose.They were cut a little bit wider to have room to shape them until they fit properly .So lot of sanding going on.

Nice work Zoly. Clearly, I need to invest in more clamps...
Thank you Paul!!One of the reason the process is slower because I do not have enough clamps and I have to wait for the glue to dry!!
Very nice Zoltan - I also see that the clamps are very helpful in obtaining a nice fit. I do not have any clamps like this at all. So shall I ask where did you get these from? I am sure that others might want to know too.
Thanks
Donnie
ps. looks like one of the words stamped on the clamp is Wolfcraft ? What about the blue ones?

Donnie, for the long blue clamps you will find the info on post #139 of the thread.

That will look amazing. I am planning to finish mine the same way.
Just like Sail and Sail
Therefore the name "Belle"
The photos of the finsihed model by Sail and Sail are a very big motivation, or?
Very good work on the planking job
In the past I used also only wooden glue and had to wait - now I am using wood glue only for 2/3rd of the glue dotts, 1/3 I use the superglue / Instand bond (thick) by Tidebond - especially for wood extremely good results - a short time for correction, but after 30 sec or 1 minute the plank is really fixed
Order on e bottle and try it
Hello folks,Some update on planking ,few more rows have been completed.

Hi Zoly. I trust it's the photograph that casts shadows but the fifth plank from the bottom - port side (stem) - is not fitting nicely. That picture would suggest it needs either edge beveling and/or narrowing
