Also almost half of the planks supplied are quarter sawn and are snapping too easily whilst bending with heat, steam, hot water, etc. So can't use!

It’s getting close! but it’s not going to beat me just yet! I’m now grading my planks with a magnify glass so I know which direction the grain is at to minimise the cupping and snapping, and then bending gradually as I glue them down with cyano. Seems to be working so far, touch wood!I had this kit not to long ago and I found the planks to fragile and would snap to easily so in the end I gave up and gave it to charity so I share your pain.
hell yeah!Go Motorhead !.
Thanks for the info uwek, in that case I will use this as a training exercise and continue to modify it.When I remember correctly, a longer time ago, I participated in a discussion about the Sergal President and we summarised, that it is a fictional ship and not based on a real historic existing vessel.......
Thanks, much appreciated, yours tooLove your work
Cheers snowy
