Now that’s what I call a result. After all the work that you’ve put into that hull you must be really pleased, be proud to show it off.

Hello Uwe, first of all wow, great work. Clou's treatment really brings it out. As for replacing the treenails, I agree with Mirek, it will be difficult to be 100% accurate and you could end up damaging more. Over time I think it will disappear in the overall look as the wood darkens.
Here is an example inside La Palme, when will always see it. The drill runs and you are off by 1/10 and get a double nail. With La Palme it's not bad because the center mast foot covers most of it, with you it's the chocolate side.

Hello Uwe,
congratulation - the discreet treenailing looks great. The eyes can follow the running of the planks without stumbling. Did you try the method Bernard Frölich recommends in his book L'Art de Modelisme (A.N.C.R.E./ Hubert Berti). It's a lot less work I think.

Exemplary planking and likewise nailing. I agree with Tobias, there are some lighter coloured nails, but in my eyes not unnatural and certainly not worth risking damage.
BTW What are those 3 bulges underneath the keel? Or is that only for protection during the build, later to be removed?

To me the planking and trennels look perfect. Magnificent work - cheers.
That is not boring at all, Uwe. The look is subtly beautiful.
Regards, Peter
A beautiful hull, the planking and subtle treenails are outstanding.
Many Thanks to @dockattner , @Mirek , @Ken , @Keef , @Tobias , @kaliboot , @Steef66 , @Herman , @ConsNZ , @Peter Voogt , @Nomad and @RogerD for all your kind words - highly appreciated
and also off course to everybody given a like on my last post
I could not stop and had to make the small corrections - with a small push with the needle / scriber in the center of the "old" treenail it will work - better was working well -> see my next post
here you can see the notches in the baseplate

Hallo Karl Ingwer, many thanks for looking and commenting - Yes I tried once also Frölichs method, but from my feeling it is much more work - but it is subjective
These 3 bulges are some overmaterial prepared under the keel - with this the keel is in the beginning fixed into the jig, so not movement can happen - now it is a protection against some damages of the keel - later on, when everything is finished I will remove them and install the false keel

As far as I can see is no false keel planned for the model. If you want to install the two false keels of Granado, you have to mill a part of the keel away.
As the shown keel joint is not English practice I would only cut the notches away and let the small simplification.

For a short time my hull was looking like a brown Hedgehog
you see, I did not make a change of so much of the treenails ..... and nowhere (puh) damages made by the drill
The final result
only some last touch with a fine steelwool will be done
Now I can start with the interior works of the lower part - JuHu
Many Thanks for your interest ..... to be continued .....

Magnificent planking !

Superb alignment and perfect scale! Color contrast of treenails is perfect (not too much to be obtrusive and subtle enough to add character and realism)!! Thank you for sharing is such detail the techniques you used!
'subtle' be the name of the build.

Dear Uwe, I have to commend you on your dedication. That seems like an awful lot of work (with inherent risk) for something that is barely visible. Subtlety is certainly the name of the game here - except for when you have a saw in hand!
