POF L'Amarante Corvette de 12 canons 1744 1:36 (Ancre Monograph- Gérard Delacroix) By Shota

Good evening dear friends
After about two and a half weeks of preparing and installing about 2500 nails, I am happy to announce that I have finished the interior planking of the lower decks of the ship.
Each nail was treated individually, with an emphasis on the nail head, so that it would maintain its square structure.
Initially, I made the nails about 5 mm long, and then I would insert them each using pliers with a curved head. However, towards the end of the process, I discovered that it was more efficient to cut the square wire into sections of about 3-5 cm, then insert it into the prepared hole and cut the wire on the frame line, and then sand the end of the wire so that it maintains its square shape.

I hope the pictures faithfully reflect the beautiful result I achieved.
I wish everyone a pleasant and enjoyable weekend.

Good work Shota. The color of planking is absolutely beautiful
