Santisima Trinidad - Part 5 - planking the upper part of the hull

[@mrsamimii]

11:37 min when you are using a different tool to bend the plank, are these planks left in the water to be softer? I am using that tool and every time it breaks the plank!

@@mrsamimii yes for this kind of Ben needs to be a bit humid, soak and let it dry a bit, because too soaked the tool doesn't bend it much, bit fully dry also breaks it

Very nice video. What is the tool you are using to bend the planks at 8:07?

Hi, what glue do you use for planking? CA or PVA? Thanks in advance. Keep uploading!

[@ModelShips]

I'm using CA because i need the least ammount of glue possible to not affect how the weathering solutions will be absorbed, the fact that it's faster helps, but it's mostly to make sure everything stays clean for the weathering

Also, I was wondering, on average hos much ca glue do you use for a model of this size.
