I make the main whale and the black strake in two layers because of their big thickness. First step - first layer of the black strake. Second step - first layer of the main whale. The photo from afore shows a small mismatch between port and starboard strakes which I corrected later
WOW WOW WOW
Your anchorstock planking of the wales is looking great
Lucky you, that you are able to design every single element in your computer and mill them already to the correct size - amazing

Yeah... for me this was actually the only way I could cope with a scratch build ))

you are very fast - very good progress !
One question:
we can see at the grain of the single planks, that you are not using strips but cut out the planks from a sheet.
Is it possible to explain (and/or show, how do define the curved form of the plank and bring this form on the timber sheet?

No, I use planks, I taper them and bend accordingly to local geometry
As for the direction of the grain, well it's not me who makes the planks, I don't have a circular saw neither a thickness planer, I buy all the planks from my supplier as per my dimensions. Honestly I didn't even give attention to the direction
WOW!!! She is huge but becomes gorgeous by all means!!!

Олег. Напишу по русски. Наблюдаю за вашей постройкой и на Верфи. Спрошу здесь. Доски обшивки какой ширины, и на сколько зауживали? В корму заужали, или только в нос? С какого пояса начали зауживать, сразу от бархоута? И ещё один вопрос, расстояние между бархоутами по всей длине корпуса одинаково?
