Very nice planking, well done! I think it will be better to cover the deck when you have to go on with the hull planking/sanding.
Regards, Bernd Hi Bernd, thank you for the very nice comment... Once I have finished the deck and gave it a coat of matt varnish then I think I will follow your advice and cover the deck for protection, at least until the planking/sanding phase is complete....  Thanks again, very much appreciated.... Regards Alan

Has been a slow process but really like the way it has turned out... .. I was trying to get a worn look to the deck, not so much a weathered look but a deck that looked as if it had been well used but very well maintained... Think I have achieved my aim..... Regards Alan

Finished the decking with the exception of giving it a coat of matt varnish and completed the lining on the bulkheads.... Also made a start on planking the stern section.... .. My intention now is to finish the stern planking then do some work on the SOTS Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):

Coming on really well there Alan, all those ups and downs in the deck levels must be a nightmare to plank out!  (Probably a nightmare trying to board and capture her too!) Keep them coming!

Loving this little kit and so far have encountered little problem in relation to the parts or the instructions, apart from the thin mahogany strips being very brittle..... .. Will soon be embarking on the planking which should be quite interesting.... Thanks again for looking in... Regards Alan

While waiting for filler to dry on the SOTS thought I would turn my hand to the SF.... Finished the planking on the stern section and trimmed the edges. Only have to finish cutting out the hole for the helm, a task for later..... . Build may take a little bit of a back seat for a while as the next stage of the SOTS involves quite a lot of work. May come back to the SF just to give a break from all the port cutting.... Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):

Hi Alan! Hmmm, that´s not realistic - - it´s looking better than the original ship! Regards, Bernd

Really nice job. I think the chevron planking on the stern of this model really makes it stand out “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Regards delboy271155 (Derek) Hi Derek, thanks for the encouraging comments... .. The chevron planking wasn't too difficult actually, simply cut the ends of the planks to 45 degrees using a razor saw and mitre jig, lightly sand the cut edges to remove any imperfections and test fitted dry before gluing with alphatic glue... .. Regards Alan
