Hi everyone I know this has been discussed in detail before, but can I ask what wood do I buy for double planking. I have seen veneer, thin veneer and walnut strips. I need some help. I do not know what thin veneer is? Can I get it at Cornwall model site and if so is there a code for it. Another silly question (sorry) is when do you double plank? Is it possible to double plank the launch as well. Hope everyones building is going to plan !!!! Pam

Thank you so much and ordering today. Have looked at your pics and you are so good. I am enjoying the build because I have to think about it and all my problems seem to disappear. ( well at least for a short time) Many thanks Pam
