The nails in the wales were still missing, now they are complete. I am currently planking the other side. In the process, I still have to think carefully about how I'm going to design the opening. Uwe's model is already a great help.

Hallo Adi,
good to see an update of your model activities and progress !
Very good, accurate and technically correct (I think) nailing pattern - It is looking very good
Endspurt - there are not so much planks and nails missing

Looking great Adi, coming on really well
I can nothing to add, Adi as what Uwe and Kidsgalore said. 
One step ahead, a steady way to completion!
Great job!

First of all, thank you very much for your likes and comments. Somewhat slowed down by my job, my progress was slow, but I did manage to pull up the planks of the later open side. The terrible nail job included. I already dream about it at night.
What additionally stops is the breaking of the planks along the direction of the grain, despite watering and bending with the soldering iron.
Repair or scratch build is the order of the day here.
Here I have opted for repair. Below then the installation.

With every plank this work is coming closer to an end ..... it is hard time, but really worth to do it, especially when you get a good result like yours

you are doing wonderful work, great planking job
Gefällt mir sehr gut
Ungluecklicherweise, das stimmt.
That's not English, Adi--that's Schiffbau (ship building lingo).Dear friends, I am infinitely grateful for your kind support. You must know that although I can handle English quite well, I have to learn many special shipbuilding terms. That the „stringers“ are called carlings is now clear to me.
Did they supply enough extra planking to complete the build, Adi?
Thank you Vic so much for your nice comment. Yes, I think the planks are enough for the complete construction. Since I also, like some friends, leave one side partially open, it will be enough in any case.
The inner and outer hull planking and also the Deck are Laser cut planks. So you get the complete planking well prepared, complete and fitting with the correct size and widths
First of all, thank you very much for your likes and comments. Now I have almost made it. The outer planking on the open side is finished. I haven't finished nailing yet, but not much is missing. So I can fully occupy myself with the interior design.
Very elegant and precise!
You haven't been posted updates for a while...so I am really glad you resume the build and almost completed the external planking task. It does look really good and accurate. Keep up a great job, Adi!
Another milestone reached looking really good Adi
Looking very good my friend - now you can relax and have fun with the Interieur
