WTG Alan,  Planking looks exceptional, love the fact there`s not a pointy plank in sight. Just got the top bamboo to fit, when mags arrive next week, then gun port cutting and THEN I get to grips with the second planking. Hope it works out somewhere near to your efforts Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

If you do this then the start and end of the taper will become obvious allowing you to see where the cut needs to be at the end of the plank, (Not less than half a plank width)... .. Take your time with it and I'm sure your efforts will be rewarded.... Regards Alan

Planking continues, slow progress but progress none the less... .. Must admit, this has been very taxing in places but believe I am almost there and the nice thing is the gap to fill is getting smaller.... .. Another couple of nights and hopfully a successful first attempt at this kind of planking.... Happy building all... Regards Alan Gandale attached the following image(s):
