Hi benny!  You are getting on well with your double planking mate, look's very nice!  If you do get any splinter's on the plank edge that leave a gap between the planks, after fitting the planks add a little glue into any gap's then sand with 120 or 240 grit sand paper, the fine sawdust will fill the gap's. I've had to do this in a couple of places on my hull.

now for the entry port side panels..i used a dremel engraving tool and a steel rule to get the lines as you can see the one on the left was the one i used x4..the one on the right wasnt any good because the lines didnt line up so they were discarded..i have tried to take a pic of them fitted but i couldnt get a decent snap as you can see  this pic is of them dry fitted  cheers benny

some pictures of my finished hull i am not going the copper plate route because to be honest the only people who know the vic is copper plated is us and not our family or friends who will be the ones who will be looking at it,i am happy with them seeing stained planking,anyway the finish is sadolin walnut exterior woodstain,also i think it looks better  cheers benny
