I have built a few models that look ok if you don’t look too close, but I’ve always been winging it. This time I hope to do it up right. I’ve just started Mamoli’s Golden Hind and I’m already flummoxed!
My problem is at frame 4. As you can see it is narrower in the middle than the bottom and I can’t

figure out how to install the deck. I can’t bend it enough without breaking it. It will be covered over with planking of course, so I suppose I could cut it and no one would know, but surely there is some way to do it correctly. Has anyone out there done this and can give a few tips? TIA and I’m glad I found this site.
