Hi George Your planking is looking really good mate, you're quite a way ahead of me, but I'll get some pics of Aug progress onto my thread in a day or two... I'm still missing issue 21 but think I may well manage without it. Just hope the same thing doesn't happen further down the track with critical issues...  . I've been reading of Brex's supply problems and it is very concerning...  Regards JohnP

Even worse than if you miss a weeks issue, but get it in correct order the following week. Anyway I think I've probably said enough on the issue of the issues.  Will be posting more pics on current update possibly tommorrow or late tonight. Regards George Building HMS SOTS

Where I am to date. Again not enough planks to finish off hull. Just 3 or 4 more and done. Cleaned up Stern and other pics show extent of planks leaving just that small gap. Even used up longest off cuts.    Regards George Building HMS SOTS

Super job George, she's looking really good.. Any little gaps you see will disappear when you get down to the filling and sanding stage... Main thing here is you have a very nice overall shape now that shows her flowing lines.... Once filled and sanded the second layer will go on a lot easier..... .. Very well done George.... Regards Alan

Regards Alan Hi Alan. Thanks for the great comments. As always they are greatly appreciated. I'm a little disappointed not enough planks to close off the hull as I was hoping, but next issue will certainly do the job. Regards George Building HMS SOTS
