Very neat work. Looks as if the shape is developed nicely.

Brian,
That is looking seriously good mate, I wouldn't have the patience for this kind of build.

[Bri62]

Cheers Paul, tbh mate I never thought I would but I surprised myself and really enjoying it

[Bri62]

Had a few pieces of flooring left over from the living room so decided to use them rather than let them sit doing nothing

Nice, you just can't stop planking it seems 😅

[Ian M]

That is coming along very nice. Planking is a pain in the butt. It is worth it in the end though.

Had to laugh this morning. I was half asleep when I read this and wondered why you would use flooring as planking. Then I realsied you meant as a work surface haha. Looking great Brian. This model has got some serious character

[Bri62]

Well impact adhesive not working for me I find it a bit of a faff and everything sticks to everything so I'll continue to use CA even though my fingers are taking a battering.

Baby steps .......I know it's painful but now all the cuts are done it should speed up progress.

[Bri62]

Morning had a bit of time at the model table yesterday/this morning and decided to call this stage the messy stage (not sure I'm happy with how this is turning out ) but will persevere.

[Andy the Sheep]

It looks 🧐 very good. Perseverance! 🤨😎

[flyjoe180]

It's looking good Brian. Once a light sanding has taken place at the end of the planking, this will all clean up nicely.

Looking very good indeed Brian.

Brian,
It looks the nuts to me mate especially if your going to cover it with copper tiles.

[Bri62]

aye 2.5k copper tiles

[Ian M]

Looking very tidy, My bench looks like an explosion at a timber yard at the moment.

Really enjoying following this build Brian. Lovely work.
