Thank's Mike, but nahh. I promised myself when I started with this that if something comes out and is not to my satisfaction, I will give it a second try, and so I did even here. Not too much work actually and I think the result is quite good.

Norske Løve update: Due to my heart surgery and following complications, not much has been done to the ship this spring. Anyhow, in the meantime I managed to upgrade my workshop a little with a storage place for tools and material, and a band saw from Proxxon. Now I'm just waiting for a rainy day to start working on the ship again

Just came upon your build log and must say "Well done". Your planking is remarkable. Also like your fixture for 'bending the wrong way'
Here's hoping you are on the mend from your surgery.

Get well soon, fellow!

I have developed a great appreciation for Nordic ships, especially of the three Anglo-Dutch period. Your Norske Lowe is stunning! You have done a remarkable job of planking; it is absolutely stunning! Get well soon!

Norske Løve update: So, finally a rainy day and a new aproach to continue planking the hull, think I'm going to end up with something like this. This one is just soaked and kept in place for pre-bending, might be some adjustments before gluing.

Norske Løve update: Not rainy today, but cloudy enough . Now also port side plank soaked and clamped for pre-bending. I'll try to glue it before Formula 1 starts in Barcelona.
