Important:
Really take your time with this “fairing” operation it is probably one of the most important procedures that will dictate the appearance of the finished model so it is well worth taking extra time to get it right. Look along the hull again and again looking at the clean flow of the hull, run your hands along the temporary batten/s. See how the batten looks at the bow and stern, is it smooth and graceful and flowing evenly. Look to see that it is and can make smooth contact with the stem piece rabbet without being unduly forced into place, make sure the transition is in the same plane and not twisted out of shape. With the stern, there are many different ways that planks join in this area. Some come to an abrupt halt on the edge of a square transom others curve up dramatically to form a very graceful flow to the counter. In all cases take a good hard long look to make sure everything is in order and flows smoothly. I can’t emphasise enough this step in the build, it is just so important.*****************************************************************************************************
