Thanks I will keep moving forward slowly. I feel like it is MY "original sin" as in the the first critical mistake I made made on the hull and paying for it ever since. I will just have to be satisfied with the outcome and learn from my mistakes but is hard when you are OCD like myself. LOL. PS E.J. LOVING THE NEW BUILD.

Well moving a long oh so slowly. Not extactly happy with lowest planks at just above keel at the stern but this is the most difficult due tork on planks. But will move forward as best I can. Will look for easier hull planking on next build for sure

Wood came in today, so plan on working on boat tomorrow. I am thinking of using combo of AC glue and Wood glue when I plank so I do not have to nail it.

Thanks E.J. That sounds correct it's just confusing when you are unfamiliar with wood types and colors. I am just trying to match the wood on the model and this should help immensely
-
Here is picture from instructions to show difference in wood color of HULL planking and TRIM. With hull planking lighter than trim
-
Can you tell what wood hull is? It is lighter than the other wood. There are two woods one is hull planking and darker wood for items like water ways, trim and wales. I have plenty of wood except hull planking and that's what I am mainly ordering I will get it in 1 mm

OK I have questions about timber. I am hoping to order my timber tomorrow when Crown Timberyard is open. I am ordering timber for hull planking and extra wood for wales, decor and furniture which is darker than hull planking. Looking at the database of wood for ships, I think hull planking is mahogany and other darker wood is Oak. Is that correct? Can you tell by my Picts what wood is hull planking. E.J. Do you think .5 mm planks is better than 1 mm, it would seem to me but I am a noob.

I saw a link to Crown Timberyard in an article here but is closed till Nov 2 for maintenance. I will check it out b4 ordering. I have been reading up on deck planking and came across 2 methods so any input would be appreciated. I read that that there should be no less than two rows of planks between places where two plank ends meet. One method in a book says to use two sizes of planks such as 80 mm and 40 mm and rotate to achieve this. Another article here says to use different starting points(3-4) for top of first planks and keep rotating.

As I have been sanding my hull, I come to realize that there are some depressions too deep to sand out due bad planking techniques lol. I was wondering if I should fill them and allow to dry and then fill rest of hull to get better surface to apply 2nd planking and not having to apply too much filler to sand and also let deeper places set up better
-
I got my Mitre box from Hobby Lobby today (finally) and I also picked up some small files and balsa wood blocks for filler on next build. I am going to order wood for 2nd planking and stock. The best place I have found is Cornwall in UK. They seem to have a very good selection of wood and sizes especially for my model. Is there and US or other company that is frequently used here.
-
Thanks E.J. going to hobby lobby tomorrow
-
I got a miter saw and box with a tool kit that came with a combo kit but the box has no slots cut in it . Then ordered just the box from another company it was back ordered and then cancelled But I will try again with different company when I order wood
-
I have sanding the hull and is starting to look promising to plank. I am going to order some timber but have a few questions. The hull plank strips appear to be mahogany correct? For this ship If ordering some additional planking It seems wise to perhaps order some stock for future use? if so what should I get I have been looking at Amati Master Cut Tool. It looks like would be useful for beginner like me or just waste of money??
