Hi Peter
Jim
Planking looks good. I suppose the 'messy bit' is the filling of the gaps between the planks?
Jim
Filling is all done the messy bit is all that sanding.
Hi Peter
Thanks for that. I could understand that a ship which in reality had planks would look fine with wooden planks but I was a bit puzzled with using planking for something like this. I can appreciate the sanding will be very dusty :rolling:

And after a day of sanding and more sanding with a little bit more sanding and some filling and then more sanding here's the result and then on to the next stage which will be the second layer of planking that holds the portholes.
Peter
Well done. That must have taken some effort!
Well done.

Love those laser cut sections, looking really good Peter.
On to the next stage witch is adding the second layer of strips that have the portholes and completes the hull before painting I have only shown the first two pieces as the rest is much the same
Time to update I have finished off the second layer of planking and all the portholes have been fitted and the black and paint have been applied.
Peter
