Had a few hrs today and I decided to finish the port side of the inner planking, including the dreaded inner stern planking. Besides feeling a bit strange in the head after having sniffed glue for a few hours ( have this strange urge to play psychedelic music ), I’m relatively happy with the job.
Few things to pick up from:
My upper bow planks did not overlap frame 12 and end up kinda halfway op frame 12
The dreaded stern planking was not that difficult and only had to adjust 1 plank a bit and add a very small stealer
This model requires sanding, a lot more sanding, enormous amounts of sanding and to finish off with a fine bit of sanding.
I brushed some water on the planks to see where I need to sand the glue residue off and where I want to use a bit of saw dust and glue (plenty of that piled around me) to fill some gaps.
I have to say although challenging for a newbie like me this model is so much fun to build.
Thanks for all the trailblazers for showing me the way.
I decided against psychedelic music but I will go out now and talk to a tree.
Maybe less glue next time.
