When planking the deck of a ship I spend a lot of time staggering the deck planks. When I plank the hull, I don't. Something seems off. Weren't the planks of the hull also staggered on the real ships? I can't see someone, or two, being able to handle a plank the length of the actual ship nor can't I see trees being that long either. So if that is the case, then how does one go about staggering the planks on the hull, without having the seams line up? I have attached a document that shows how to setup a stagger pattern on the deck of a ship but what I am trying to do is figure out how to do this for the hull, but not sure the best approach.
Thanks
