A few more ribs done. Slowly, I do not want to rush this job.

If you read Karl
@Jeronimo built log, he posted that the wood quality of the kit wasn't good. So he replaced it.
Well, when I got the kit I was happy with the pear wood of the planks. But I was too naive. Today I received Pear wood strips from Max (ZHL MODEL) and now I can compare.
@Jeronimo, with his experience, he realized immediately that the kit planks where not good. I only saw the difference when I received the new wood today. "See picture below" (zoom it to see better the details). Arrow is the new Pear wood

The kit planking strips are 2.5 x5 mm. I was afraid of the bending process of such thick planks. So, just in case, I ordered from ZHL MODEL , 0.6x5 , 1x5 and 1.5x5 mm. The 0.6 in case I wanted to do a double planking if my first planking looks terrible. I wanted to be sure I have in my hands all the options. I decided to use the 1.5x5mm for planking now that I see the quality difference.
Moreover, I also ordered more wood, in different thicknesses,
to scratch build the interiors. Black Walnut and Pear to have color contrast in details. See picture.

I do not have any idea what will be the outcome of this building log. But for sure I will try to have fun and reduce to a minimum my street vocabulary when things do not work . Ja Ja
