Hi Alexander. The method you use to "pin your planking on is so clever. I wish I had seen this prior to my planking process. Your set up for planking is admired, using "filler blocks between each bulkhead. Does the Deagostini only have one planking layer? It is a pity you are behind me in the build process....LOL.

Tell me about it! The filler blocks look like hard work, but how much better it must be for the planking phase? Great work Sasha Thumbsup

Filler blocks are worth the effort if the frames are spaced widely apart because they prevent vertical bend lines in the hull curves, and they prevent flat areas between frames, and provide surface area for glue to hold the planks at areas of hard curvature like the bow. They are quite a bit of work, but that effort is an investment that pays off by making a beautifully curved hull.
 
No rush Sasha. Take your time and take it one step at a time according to your own pace. We know the result will be breathtaking!

Kurt wrote it all right. There is nothing to add.
 
Sasha! WOW what a beauty you have going. Permission to come aboard. I just came across your build and I love the way you have constructed the base for the planking. I'm getting ready to order some pear wood from Sargei as well as some cherry. I had heard of hornbeam but didn't know anything about it until you described it. I'm looking forward to the rest of it.
 
I haven't shown anything for a long time. I had a parallel project (urgent), a colleague asked me to make a rigging and rigging for the schooner "Polotsk" from Master Korabel. Now back to VICTORI, so let's continue. I stopped at this stage:

Here's what I have done so far:
I made one more velvet on each side and plating in the area of the gun ports of the operdek. Above there will be only a black hornbeam.

All this will still need to be processed with sandpaper, of course, but I think to do this later. When I finish the planking.

I really do love your choice of materials Sasha. The colored hornbeam is wonderful. How is it to work with (the wood's characteristics)?

Paul, greetings. Nothing unusual, it's easy to work, there are some small nuances. For example, a yellow hornbeam does not really like PVA glue (red traces remain), but if you gently apply glue with a brush, then everything works out well. It does not blush deeply, and if you immediately peel it off with emery, it is not noticeable. It is very convenient to work with black, any gaps (if any) are easily filled with diluted PVA and sawdust when sanding. Red and blue hornbeam, like any other tree, did not notice any surprises.
