Hi.

I´m new to this ship model world. a couple of years ago I bought The Bounty Boat by Occre. I still have not finish it. The problem for me is the planking. Maybe I could put up a build log with some pic, and get some advice.
 
Yes, please start a build log on your work, the best thing here is the help and advise others give freely to those in need.
