Thank you so much Mike.
I agree with Mike. This is a first class planking job Mustafa. I'm working on a smaller hull myself right now and I love the precision of your work and your steady progress. Awesome stuff!
Good morning Mustafa, I can only agree with Mike and Paul, wonderful work on the planking.

The last few boards remain to complete the hull planking. I'm quite pleased with the result, there is no need for too much sanding. The next phase will be some paint work on the upper hull and copper plating below the waterline.

A fantastic outcome. Alas, the copper will hide so much of this beautiful planking...
I am with Paul - your planking works is looking too good to be covered - so I am looking forward to see your copper plating - I guess in the same high level
I'm also very curious to the coppering of the Hull....
Simply a masterpiece.... !

Very tidy plank work, Mustafa. It holds up under all angles of scrutiny.

Hi Mustafa. I'm not sure how I've missed your "Conny" project, but I'm on board now.
As usual, your work is excellent. I echo everyone's statements. Your planking is too good to cover with shiny copper. The symmetry, especially on your transom tuck is so good! It is so difficult to achieve those results, at least for me.
I imagine there are a lot of modelers would not spend the time with ensuring the planking was symmetrical if it was being covered in copper plating. But some of us know that being symmetrical is more than just being about the appearance. It ensures the structure on both sides are the same as well.
I've got your "Conny" bookmarked now.

I haven't been around for a while but now I'm back in action. I started copper plating the hull. Even though the nailing pattern is not very accurate historically, I prepare copper plates using my own methods because I like the way they look.
I use self-adhesive foil tape on copper plating
