You may want to put on a second, makes life a little easier when you do the 'last 10'.
Looks great.

Excellent advice from John, I put on an additional 2 rows and it certainly made planking the last 10 rows much easier.

The last days have gone by with filling and sanding. This being my first experiances with wood modelling, i must say i`m very pleased with the results so far. Next step will be fitting the keel. DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings, Walter
