ok ive not been able to get alot done on my model since febuary due to real life getting in the way and moving house.

But ive finally managed to get the planking all but finished on 1 side and down to he last 10 rows on the other.I have to admit i found it tricky to get them planks to bend at times without hearing the dreaded snap.Cursing

But im feeling brave enough to post some pics and open myself up to community opinionsMellow

Coming on well, though it might be an idea to draw a centre line down the bow so you keep track of the centreline for when it comes to adding the curved stem/keel

It's shaping up nicely shipmate, keep the pics coming.
A small tip, using some 'bubble-wrap' between the stand and the hull would stop the likelihood of your good work on the hull becoming accidently marked or scratchedBigGrin
Happy building
