Fitting scaledecks laser cut deck for Heller Victory

The deck set from scaledecks.com

Note the planking pattern

3 decks 

ultra thin

Dry fit,,wow fits like a glove,this is good.

mix pva glue with a little water

And start coating the deck

Try to get the coat even with no bare spots or lumps

lay the deck on and press down using white tissue

remove any bubbles

i packed the deck with bits of card to give me an even surface for heavy books

and on go the books for about 30 minuites

take the books away and again check for bubbles,pressing any out from the middle of the deck towards the edges

when dry trim the edge of the deck with sandpaper

place one side of the deck in the hull groove and using thin evergreen sheet as a shoe horn,gently slide the other side into position and,,,,,

bingo,its in and done

how easy was that

Great fit

That be wood there captain

broadside

1 deck done.i like it but what do you think?
