Good evening Bruce. Planking is a learned art. My first layer of my first ship was very thankful for wood filler and thin slithers of wood to fill gaps. Plenty sanding after tho. I am still far from getting it right however I find lining the hull and preparing helps. Cheers GrantSo I have found that it is not easy to plank the hull. But I decided that the ‘Damn the torpedoes…’ approach would actually get it done. Staring at it was getting me nowhere. I have attached a couple of pictures. Lots still to do but the end is in sight. Please don’t look too closely!! Wood is very forgiving and wood filler and sandpaper work wonders. (I hope). View attachment 469115View attachment 469114
No worries at all, we have no completions here, take your time; the slow you go the far you can reach.I’ve only just begun my review and will gradually be showing the progress I’ve made, but right now, I’m at the stage of copper plating. It’s a pity that by the time I get to showcasing it, you’ll already be far ahead!
