I was under the impression that the bottom half of the hull was to be veneered. Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/

This was posted 2 days ago... Not Happy at all... Admin wrote:Hi All
The hull will be single-planked and can be painted, lightly stained to the colour shown in the finished photos, or coppered, as you prefer. The wood we are supplying is lime (US term 'basswood'). Lime is a hardwood that is also flexible and easily worked, so it's ideal for the purpose. It was used for some of the finest historic carvings in Europe, including those by Grinling Gibbons, whose work included Blenheim Palace and St Paul's Cathedral. Therefore there will be no veneer.

I'm guessing the type of wood won't make a difference if you plan to copper the hull?

so basically were paying a mint for the model and have to pay out more money elsewhere for veneer if we choose to, and ill have to because the plankin ive laid is not as good as i want it!
could have told us before we started planking like...

It's not a big problem, is it? stains are in their hundreds(colour and shades) and danish oil and Wax's are plentiful.
At least you can choose what colour to have, I dont think its an issue.

Agreed. I think its a benefit to be honest; basswood is much easier to work with and so will make our jobs much easier around the stern. Like you say also, it gives people more choice of the exact colour/stain/oil/wax/veneer etc etc ..... that they want! Tom
