I have began construction on the Victory's Launch. Part 1 of the launch is provided in issue 14 and part 2 will be provided in issue 17. I didn't blog about issue 11 - 14 as those issues are just basically to build up the frames of the hull. Nothing much to blog about for issue 11 - 14.
I started work on the Victory's Launch recently and was quite excited do do the planking for the launch. I don't have a plank bender, so I did what one for the forumer in the Model-Space forum did in his build diary of HMS Endeavour Longboat. I soaked the planks in water an then placed them on the frames to get the shape.
I am faced with a problem now regarding the planking. Attached are some photos of the planking progress after placing two planks on each side. There is quite a huge gap. Guess the planks didn't really take the shape of the frame. I'm not sure if this can be rectified later on.
As a back up, I got another issue of the Victory's Launch. Just in case I screw up this planking.
Here are some photos of my Launch build so far. Haven't really completed the planking of the launch. Will keep you guys posted on the progress.
