Thanks Frank
A lot of the time I use push pins on the first planking instead of nails. It stops the planks riding up like they sometimes do on nails

It's a very thick stew
First made as it was a cheap way of feeding a family as most stews are. If it's made with no meat and just vegetables it's called blind scouse

Hi Mike
The nails have been removed what you see in the planking are the holes left after removal

Do i detect that you feel the same way about rigging as i do about sanding

You will only be able to find stuff when it's in one big heap on your desk
Once you put it away neatly the fairies come out and hide it all
It's the law

That HobbyZone stuff is quite good stuff for the price of it. I have few of their things myself

Congrats on the re-opening and the unpacking, I'll be following both your builds

So I have reopened the shipyard tonight as I managed to get a lot more done than I was planning on the unpacking side of life. As a reward I decided to start Le Soleil Royal. La Couronne will still be taking priority but this allows me to slow down on my frame building and planking as well as make the modifications I want while still working on rigging. So please join me on the new journey and with any luck I will have two nice builds to keep us all entertained.

Great job as usual Don. You need to grab a brew, sit back and admire your handiwork.

Planking looks great! I really like the blood wood accent you put in there. I have quite a bit of it out in the wood pile. May have to rip some down and see what I can do with it on a future build.
I know that feeling of being ready for planking to be done. The first couple hundred planks is exciting, then the next couple hundred are routine and monotonous but those last couple hundred are tiring and you just want to be done!

Thanks you all for your visits and comments it is really appreciated
Well it's been a long time since my last update. After many hours on pondering as how to approach the deck planking I decided to go with Zoran's(MarisStella) approach. The biggest reason being is that there is a central 17 mm wide plank that goes down the middle it would cover up any mast holes, pawl holes and one of the hatch holes. So I decided to plank the deck first and do the cutting out later. Planking went real good, I changed it a little by putting walnut at the bow and stern a blood wood plank then the cherry planks. I went with a four plank rotation, a big thanks goes to Ulises Victoria for his great tutorial on how to plank a deck http://modelshipworldforum.com/resources/Framing_and_Planking/Deck_PlankingIIbuttshifts.pdf.
It was a lot of work and many hours but it is finally finished, scraped and sanded. She is approximately 175 mm x 520 mm at the largest points and took about 220 planks to cover it. Next I will cut out the main hatch then install the central strip followed by the remaining holes required.
I am really looking forward when all forms of planking are done
Enjoy the pics
Take Care
