Underwater hull continued
Hi All
Well so far not so bad, leaving the "handles(white bits)" on the edges of the plates is very useful it gives you somewhere to grip when pulling the plate into place on the former. One thing I learned is when fitting the glueing strips do not wrap them over the bottom of the vertical hull plate it throws all the measurements out so it goes on a strip each side.
As Tim once pointed out where you put the point is where it comes out and in this case the fit I was trying for was too perfect so to get round the fault I selectrd the top edges of the underwater hull in Metsequioa and gave them a quick "PULL" upwards worked a treat.
The second pic shows all the white edge bits under flash but as Christoph paints his ship bottoms I think a coat of acrylic will fix it. Had to stop, started to get glue spots on it. I used UHU it gives just enough time to move the part about.
Next job is to plaster the bow with superglue all the sanding the front edge is weakening it.

Thanks for the kind words and the encouragement if the hull comes out right I shall certainly think of marketing it, long way to go yet.
