It’s looking nice, Gilbert. I like the 3-stroke/joint deck planking with the smalle planks. It needs some extra attention, but it gives a nice personal touch.Hello all
After a long break in the US visiting my kids I am back home in the South of France and have resumed work on the Amerigo Vespucci.
After having completed the skeleton, I am now starting the hull first planking.
While the glue dries for each plank, I am also progressing on the main deck planking (walnut). The Mantua documentation suggest to start the deck planking in a later stage but I believe that, for the main deck, it's much easier to do this now, before putting the upper decks in place.
