The planking process obviously shares many similarities with planking a real wooden boat, In addition to bevelling the frames to accept the shape of the hull, the top sides of the planks will also need a bevel - often a rolling bevel - so that they adjoin well. Given the scale you're working with, I'd suggest the use of some luthiers' hand planes. They're very small but perfect for such intricate work.
Looking forward to following your build of this WOOD Model Kit. One issue I'd like to make you aware of is the DECK PLANKING. I'm pretty sure that the wood deck as referenced in this kit is COMPLETELY OUT OF SCALE! The planks should be much narrower and more complex in layout & contour!! Look into the WOOD VENEER decking sheets that are available from PONTOS for the 1:200 Trumpeter Kits of Bismarck, Hood, etc. Please do some RESEARCH on the deck planking plans for Prinz Eugen! Trumpeter makes a 1:350 scale kit of Prinz Eugen and PONTOS has a Wood veneer deck available at that scale. Even at 1:350 scale it's obvious that the deck planking layout is different (and more true to scale) than the OCCRE Kit you are building. Also, please look into the AMATI 1:200 Kit of the BIsmarck - there is a lot of information (and RU-vid build videos) on the AMATI 1:200 Bismarck. AMATI supplies LASER ETCHED WOOD VENEER DECK for their kit. I think OCCRE REALLY "DROPPED THE BALL" on the decking portion of the Kit you are now working on!! Please, please check out RU-vid Videos and other information on the many 1:200 scale kits from Trumpeter, Amati, etc. You will see what I'm talking about here, I'm sure of it! It would be a shame to see you invest your time and amazing modeling skills on this OBVIOUSLY INACCURATE (OUT OF SCALE) part of this OCCRE Kit. You are a superlative craftsman and your videos are informative and inspiring! DOUBLE-CHECK the DECK PLANKING - please!
Круто супер! Очень круто. Я как-то стал покупать данные наборы от диогостини но авиация победила! А глядя на вашу работу понемаю, нужно было идти до конца!!! ♥️🤗
Excelente vídeo e excelente trabalho Alex! O Prinz Eugen é um navio espectacular com uma forma de casco muito característica, como aliás eram quase todos os navios de guerra alemães na época. Se me permites um conselho, usa luvas anti-corte quando estiveres a usar instrumentos de corte, assim evitas acidentes amigo😉. Grande abraço e continuação de bom trabalho.
