This view is beautiful, fascinating and instructive all at the same time. I almost expect to see a carpenter walking down the decking carrying another plank to put in place.

I'm with Herman on this. The addition of the wood planking brings this model to life visually.
I rarely comment on some of the builds here. Why? I left no words from the English dictionary describing such amazing work. Yours, Peter, is on those builds. Being a scale modeler, I know what it takes to fabricate parts. But you bring a scratch building to a different level!
Thanks, Daniel. You are lucky, I found an old picture .......
PS: No AI, just some Photoshop skills ...........

I fully agree, Paul. After the grey 'iron' the wood bring her alive.

You also thanks for this compliments and nice words, Jim. When I started this build I could not imagine that that this would be the result.

That carpenter is working hard. Another 18 custom planks to slide in:
The port side part on its side. So I know for sure that everything stays straight and flat. The planks are inserted from above. I first insert the foot into the U-profile in the bottom, then I tilt the head into the U-profile under the deck beam.

My Fly is only the first part of my long term project as you in my signature can see. I have also found some other really nice sloops and greater ships. So the time is definitely to go back to styrene .

A small update on my intended method for placing the walls. To give you an idea of how my planning changes a little bit every time.
My plan was to place the floor planks after placing a wall. To keep space to work between the frames. I adjusted it a little bit ......
As an example, the current situation in this photo.
After wall 9, empty hold 10 was next for the floor planks. Phew ........ that was almost impossible from above. Fortunately, that space will hardly be visible anymore.
After wall 9, I now place the floor planks between 8 and 9. That does not cause any problems with placing wall 8. Because I work to the right of the frames where wall 8 will be placed. The white arrow indicates that.
That works with the tweezers because the frames after the wall have a revers frame up to the bilge. That gives just a little extra space.
I'll continue with the 20 shelves per wall....
