Another daunting part of the build started, the inner hull planking.
@Uwek build log was as usual very helpful and on his advice I soaked the planks only 30 min, used a hair straightener (pls don’t tell the admiral) to gently shape, soaked for an other 5 min and cowardly used CA glue. The first 8 planks are on and although not easy for a newbie like me, not as hard as I thought. Wet sanded the planks a bit and hopefully not too much shrinkage when fully dry.
what’s really cool is that the timbers have very small notches and other bits like you would find in real timber that makes it look very realistic. Pity most of it will be covered.
