court orchard wrote:Lovely work Alan.  I know what you mean about the 2nd Planking, seems to take forever, I'm just beginning the second side. But worth taking time over, if you want it to look good. It's so easy to rush it and then suffer having to look at it for evermore, with regret that you didn't give it enough care. Thanks for the kind comment Andy and yes it does seem to taker forever, think I took about 4 weeks in total to plank both sides of the lower hull.... Couldn't agree with you more, take your time and the results you want will appear and knowing the standard you set yourself then I'm sure yours will look fab.... Kind Regards Alan

Have now sanded down and cleaned up the hull as far as I want to at this stage.... .. Am happy with the treenailing albeit not perfect in places but can certainly live with it. Big learning curve and now know the pitfalls to look out for...  Will be having a rethink on the process to make sure it is improved when it comes to my next build.... .. All in all I don't think I have much to complain about.... Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):
