Hello, Don.
Attached are two files I have been saving for when I get to planking on my lobster boat model. Not sure if they will be helpful, but I certainly hope so.
Good luck my friend!
Happy modelling.

I would like to thank (kelvin12), (greqb) and (heliman41) and to (Ships of Scale) for posting “Simple Hull Planking Techniques for Beginners”.
Some of what I have read I have come up with on my own. That is nice to know that I feel I’m on the right track.
The time you gents took to compile this information is like Gold to me. Your work and skills will make my work much better.
What I have and am learning from all of SOS is Awesom.

Again Thank You All.
 
Thanks, Jesse. I believe that information is most useful when it is shared freely. I am frequently impressed & thankful for info that I find on SOS.
Happy Modelling.
Steven
