Thanks Kurt. I will try to do that.Good looking planking and deck work so far.
Have fun and keep us informed.
Good morning. Ally good to see another Victory being started. Great start and lovely planking. Cheers GrantJust started on the planking and sanding of deck. I have been swapping back and forth between this and my La Fayette build View attachment 355328
Good evening Patrick. Looking great. The bend up the stern is hectic. I remember having to redo a couple of planks as they split even after wetting and pre bending with heat. Cheers GrantPlanking going a bit slow. Lots of bends to deal with especially around the stern.

Thanks! Slow is my only speed anymore. I agree the pictures help a lot. Some of the instructions wouldnt make a lot of sense without it.Well, that looks lovely, so slow is good.
Constructo has some good picturebooks as reference, very handy to follow. My first kit was the Albatros kit from Constructo. Loved the manual / picture book and learned a lot from that kit. Shame Constructo is out of business today, they made so pretty awsome kits....
Good luck with the hull, remember, one plank at a time...

Thanks! Yes they do seem to want to split. I may have a couple to redo. Going to wait to see how they sand out. This kit did send a second set of planking in case I really muck it all up.Good evening Patrick. Looking great. The bend up the stern is hectic.
