Hi All,
I have had a few hours spare so did some painting and installed the last piece of the Bulwarks at the rear.

At first glance I thought "Whats happened to Chris?, his model has gone to pot", but then scrolling up I see that the area shown here will be covered up, which no doubt will end up looking excellent loke the rest of your model, keep the pics coming, I like to see how things should be done, not how I do them Come on you Jimmies

So thats what they are called. I've seen that on some of the planking in the antique models in the magazines. I have been considering it for the hull planking on my SF II, but I've a feeling that as it's mahogany I might struggle a bit with the cutting, and more than likely slice a bit of finger off (again). Keep up the good work Come on you Jimmies
