Good morning Uwek. South and Central America counties have always fascinated me. Riding an off road bike through some parts is on my bucket list for sure. Pity you only had one day to explore. Nice. Cheers Grant
HMS GRANADO - full hull - POF kit by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe
a little progress on the deck planking
first the planks sanded and adjusted to fit between the waterways, hatches and the mortar box
and fixed with the made "Ecoline-caulking"
(according the Goodwin book, the planking goes also over the mast-partners)
Tomorrow the treenailing will follow
Many Thanks for your interest ..... to be continued .....

Many Thanks for the kind reply @Mirek and the likes received. Highly appreciated
Before the weekend, where I hope I can work a little bit more on the model, I would like to show you the latest treenailing works on the deck and the result
Based on a tip I saw in @Maarten building log I adjusted my Tooth-pick treenailing method
with using my drawplate
in order to get a 2 or 3mm long permanent 0,5mm diameter pointed toothpick
a little bit additional work, but let us see the final result, if it is worth to do so
red area - normal toothpicks
green area - with drawplate pointed toothpicks
Now I finished more or less the final planking of the deck - the rest will stay "open" to see the deck structure
and this will be the sight from the other side, which will be visible later on - here also the caulking is slightly visible

Witaj
Zielony obszar wygląda super, spróbuj kiedyś kołków z igły lekarskiej wszystkie są idealnie równe i tej samej średnicy. Pozdrawiam Mirek
Hello
The green area looks great, try the doctor's needle pins sometime, they are all perfectly even and the same diameter. Regards, Mirek

Very nice result, very cleanly worked as I know it from you. 
A very nice result. The prepared trenails are nice and round and consistent in size.

The difference is noticeable and looks great.
Thanks for showing us this new method of adding treenails.

A nice result with the treenails, Uwe. Did a few thousand on my BN with the same technique. Very useful and with a constant quality.

Really wonderful Uwe, Your model is a great inspiration for me if I will come back to the Granado.
Many Thanks to @Mirek , @Tobias , @dockattner , @Kurt Konrath , @Peter Voogt and @AnobiumPunctatum for the direkt comments and kind words and also to everybody for the likes received
Just wanted to show you the comparison between the Goodwin deck plan an my deck planking - The pattern is follwing completely the drawing, so I followed here the Goodwin information for example the locations of joints
(Photo mirrored)
and in addition some closeups to see the "caulking" from the undersight - I could imagine, that in real ships it could also look like this
and the mast partners with wedges are also finally prepared

The underside of the deck looks even more impressive then the top side. Very nice and detailed work Uwe.
Beautiful work! Wood tones and precision are excellent.

Looks like a few cross members missing under the planked section.
you have good eyes or recognize such things
The two carlings (red) are on purpose missing and will be installed later on.
They will be installed together with the windlass carrick bitts (green), which will be fixed when I know finally how I will present them - partly cut or completely in the upper half of the model
