My currant build is the Model Shipways Muscongus Bay lobster smack. All of the hull planking was way to short. I called them and was told that they would send me another sheet of the planking. I said that unless it had changed, it wouldn't make a difference.
I had enough planking to make my own. As you can see from the picture, it's not working out well. When finally done, it takes hours of filling and sanding to make it fare enough paint. I've built 25 ship models and I've never had success with edge bending even though I've soaked them in hot water for up to an hour. Any suggestions?
