Superb Brian. Looks a really great job on the planking.
All finished the 1st planking let the sanding commence 
measured the hull and am pleased with the overall shape so just a little filler and sand before the second planking.

I'm terribly late in joining this distinguished rabble; I'll hang my hammock in a corner and watch silently your impressive work.
Your welcome Andrea
Ok this is turning out to be quite difficult getting everything lined up before its glued.
Going to let it dry for 24 hours
the rear gallery is going together really well proving this is a quality kit (time will tell)
Wow, that planking looks like a huge time consuming job, the model is looking very nice, well done cheers
Brian. If you're on FaceBook!! There is a group called 'HMS Victory Modellers Group' (believe it or not. May prove to be a useful source of hint tips or info.
Looks like a propper hull now!
Is there just the one layer of planking? I know some have a second 'finish' layer.

Doug don't do facebook mate
Took a while and thanks
I don't really Bri. I have no friends and only use it to view a couple of groups I am interested in. Westland Helicopters and HeliOps Groups which have some good pics of ---- yes you guessed it - Helicopters!!
Bit of an update, haven't been at the model table this week as I have had to sort out the living room floor (post kitchen flood) the whole lot has to come up including the sub floor then re screeded and a new floor fitted, luckily my insurance company has picked up the tab and work starts tomorrow.
Looking at a week before the work is completed then I can concentrate on the Victory

Managed to get back to the model table for an hour or so, a little progress made
Just caught up on this one Bri, and some sterling work going on, so now I’ve pulled up my chair so I don’t miss anymore.
Excellent progress and looks very neatly done too. You're doing it quickly as well but I bet that things will slow down as you get to the more fiddly and intricate stages.
