May I ask what is CLOU ? it is apparently some type of finish or oil ?

like @Steef66 (many thanks btw) already answered
it is the CLOU sanding primer - the german term is CLOU Schnellschleifgrundierung
@Jeronimo was (I think) the first one who mentioned it here in the forum and in the meantime several others are using it on a regular basis.
The wood is slightly darkening after the treatment with Clou, a little bit dull surface, you can glue parts afterwards, also painting with Ecoline is no problem.
Since I got the tipp with Clou I am not oiling any more

That looks really impressive. Now I can see why Maarten also loves the CLOU.

The inner planking is "somehow" prepared with all the planks I want to have
- the final height of the rail can be defined only when also the outer planking is finalized

also the ports and gunports are cut and sanded, all the treenailing done

Hello Uwe,

do we see us during the exhibition in Amsterdam? It will be nice to see the progress by your model in reality.

Hallo my friend,
I am thinking about visiting also the exhibition in Amsterdam - it is only a long way from Vienna - but I will be in Dieburg definitely
 
Many Thanks to @Dean62 , @RDN1954 , @GrantTyler , @AnobiumPunctatum , @Ptèr and @Nomad for the kind words related to the lastest post and the likes received

In the meantime I finished the outer planking of my upper part of my HMS Granado

Here you can see some overviews and details from bow to stern
