NORSKE LOVE - Billing Boats 1:75 scale

Next, I had envisioned putting some fluted boards, that I made, on the ends of the deck to cover the ends of the plywood and make them look better. And now I can on these two! It also adds a nice contrast I think.

Now I can get back to railings, wales, stain, paint and nails! ;)

It are the tiny details that gives her the extra nice look, Dean.

Lovely job with the treenails!
I'm still rather in limbo in regards to treenails. Sometimes, models show very distinct treenails, imho frequently just a tad over the top. Others show their models with very modestly detailed treenails, which I like. I did quite some treenails in my BN, the frames were pretty successful, although hardly visible, while the ceilings, where I used a different method, were a disaster. Luckily one can't see those details anymore...
So I abstained from adding treenails in both the hull- and deck planking, still contemplating on adding those on the unpainted hull planks.
Your treenails look quite balanced, I am only wondering if you should add more or not.

Thank you Johan, I have only done the nails on the hull, but did do treenails on the decks. And I plan to do treenails on the hull, but only after I locate all of the cannon ports. :)

I agree Johan. I decided to go for it with nailing my hull and to be Frank I think I prefer it without. Sometimes less is more. The scale of the model and nature of wood are huge influences on how to treenail. ( in my opinion). I stand to be corrected as it is my first attempt at this. Dean you owned my friend! Cheers Grant

Thank you Grant!
I have only done treenails on the deck, and nails on the wales and next to the cannon ports. I am debating putting treenails on the hull in the stained section. But I need to know where all the cannon ports will be first, and I haven’t got that far! ;)
 
Nice shot; the port side stained, starboard side yet bare.
Beautiful ugly F4 in the background...

The Tale of Two Sides…
First side…

Second side in progress…

This side seems a little darker? Not sure if I should use steel wool to lighten it?
Anyway, I have to finish painting…so I have time to decide. Then back to railings and bulwarks…

For me, both sides looks very nice, Dean. And when do you see both sides together ……….. (almost only in a build-log). ;)
But when it’s in your head and the Lion is looking over your shoulder ……. I know you a little bit …… soon a 'minor' adjustment. :)
