Hey Krister, this is just marvelous planking! Bravo!
Of course you are now coming to a tricky bit at the stern - good luck!

Thank's Paul
Very good and accurate planking works - hope you can continue a similar quality under the waterline with the challenges of bow and stern
Defintely you are on a very good way

Thank you, Uwe. Yes I know it's gonna be a bit tricky, especially at the stern and it sure is a bit different from my previous model of the Norske Løve. Think it was easier at that time when I didn't need to bend the planks that much.
So, Friday update: Upper part of stern planking finished, still looks good if I may say it myself

Norske Løve, Sunday morning update: Moved over to the bow last night and finished planking upper port side, still quite happy with the result.
Good afternoon. Wonderful planking. Cheers Grant
One plank at the bow, pre-bent a little with the electric plank bender, and now wetted and held in place untill it's dry. After that some smaller adjustents before gluing
Thank you, Grant
Good Friday update: Preparing gunports and test mounting some details on forecastle deck. Slowly mowing forward
Small investment today, found a nice little cabinet for ship model tools and stuff. Made by Occre and sold by Amazon
Tricky planking at the stern, now evaluating different approaches. Bought a bunch of extra planks, just in case
Planking at the stern; next attempt looks a lot better. Think I'm getting there soon.
