Thanks for the reply. The “Admiral” has once again allowed me some PC time. My vision is slowly improving and I’m looking forward to getting back to work on the build. I may have to invest in some close up optics, since my depth perception seems to have changed.Get well soon.
“Eyes” been enjoying your posts
Heinrich,Hmmm. You will have to address those kinks. Take your time and approach it as a process of elimination. Remember, sometimes the bulkhead where the kink manifests itself, is not the offending bulkhead - the problem might lie with a bulkhead two or three keel positions away.
Uwe,when you form the plank you have to take especially care from the beginning of the plank at the bow
I marked it with an additional red arrow.
The plank has to start from here and will make a curve already from the beginning, so it will contact the first bulkhead already in a different angle than yours.
I tried to mark a possible form with a green line (sorry for the quality) - with this you will have already a difference in the fairing of the first bulkhead

Here I have illustrated your problem graphically. It is important to bend the plank or you have to use fillers at the bow and stern. What used to be done with two pliers over steam is now done with an electric plank bender. That gives also no kinks. Such a plank bender is one of the most important tools.

Owee, the Admiral would be some upset if I did that. Probably not with damage to the dining table, but the "scorch marks" on her iron.Hi Jan!
Before they think about a plank bender. There are model makers who bend their wet planks with an iron. Please put a wooden board underneath. It would be a pity around the table.
With best regards
