Hello there shipmates...I promised another update on my progress so here it is. Continuing with where I left off, I added a few more layers of planking...I found many planks of varying widths and thicknesses and colour, but picking the best, I plodded on. So here are some more pictures.. jonny7england attached the following image(s): Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas. Completed Builds: Del Prado: HMAS Bounty: Hachette: RMS Titanic: Del Prado: Cutty Sark...

Hi Jonny Good to see you back!  Like Alan has said before, this is not a race, take your time and complete your build. I'm about 12 weeks behind because I deviated from the second planking and are cutting my own planks. Enjoy the build!  Regards Kobus

Looking good Jonny - does three weetabix have the same effect as three shredded wheat

A GREAT idea with your toiletroll-holders, John!  Unfortunately we don't do weetabix here at home. But I'm pretty sure I can find a replacement.  Thanks again, Adrie. 'Where to glue or where not to glue, that is the question'

Thank you my friends...Surprising what you can do with ordiary household rubbish...
Now here are some pictures of my build to date..All I have to do is the sanding of the hull to prepare it for the next stage...jonny7england attached the following image(s): Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas.

Hi Jonny, some really nice work there, the planking is looking spot on.... .. Love your idea for strip holders, I use empty pringle tubes taped together, same idea and very effective for storing strips... .. I also have to tip my hat to you mate..... how you can work from a wheelchair with this beast sitting on your lap and produce the results you do is simply mind boggling.... especially when later in the build you start adding all the fiddly intricate pieces.... .. credit to you, keep up the great work..... Regards Alan

Hi Jonny Your build looking really great. I hope I'm as successful regarding your planking. Getting closer to the day when an issue has planking within. Regards George1 Building HMS SOTS

Hi Jonny. Came in to check out "bull clips" as per your reply my thread. Now I know what they are and description. Thanks mate. Just a further query; Re the stern fill-in; The top plank bow to stern to be level with the top plank of stern fill-in. Now I noticed that you have shaped this plank with the others to shape of stern fill-in yet official build shows leaving at least 10 mm plus overhang first plank to stern end. Rest below can be shaped. Is there an insert that fits between the two overhangs. Why does this overhang need to be there? It is rather confusing. Hope you can clarify for me. Regards George Building HMS SOTS

You may have to cannibalize a few clips to get the end result..i.e, the part that slips over the plank that you are working on? As for your further query, I don't quite understand what you are trying to point out? If there are any pictures to refer to regarding your query, I would be only too glad to answer your question...

Hi Jonny. Re the plank overhang first plank from bow to stern to top plank stern infill. See Tomick's Official Build Diary SOTS issues 21-25 post 4 pic three down. You will see all planks shaped to stern planking except for that first plank which is left as overhang. I thought it must be for some insert to go between otherwise why leave it overhang. Hope you can clarify for me. Regards George Building HMS SOTS

Regards George Hi George...Thanks for the extra info mate and as for the overhang?...there is the addition of two gallery side panels and rear panel...Issue 30 and after fitting these panels the planking seems to have been cut back, though there is no written evidence stating to cut it back? See Mr T's posting...Issue 30, pictures 2-3 and 4, the overhang is missing! Sorry for the delay in answering George, I hope that it helps mate...Take care now.Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas.

Hi Jonny Your hull planking looks real good. I always see this as the biggest hurdle to get right in any build and getting this right takes some real skills and patience. Your doing well. Kind regards Tony Happy Modelling
