Hello All, Thanks for the comments and Likes, as always very much appreciated.
 
Well Been a few months since the last update, I have Completed (almost) Lines, Fore and aft, Starbordside atm. 
 
Could not be bothered at the moment to do the main mast lines.
 
(Fore )I could make a few improvement, as this side is not the viewing side.
Hard part was making sure lines are same length and level.
 
 
 
 
(Aft- Starboard)  Really Happy how these lines came out.

Thank you for your comments and thank you for your information, but to be honest I cannot understand what you mean when you are referring to the deck planking and say ‘BUT it should be joggled 4 apart NOT 2’.  The planks on my model are laid in a four butt system, the end edge of each neighbouring plank is offset by 1/5 of twice the length of the planks. Four planks separate the plank ends where they meet edge to edge.  Isn't that what you mean by ' 4 not 2'. Am I missing something?
 
Also you stated ‘Again if you are going to mark the tree nails at least make sure each plank end is accompanied with the corresponding  treenails next to each other’.  What is the difference from what I did on my model to what you are saying?  Again, am I missing something?
 
Richardjjs, I would appreciate if you clarify this for me, or maybe another member of the forum who has more knowledge and know how than me on this subject enlighten me if the four butt system is the correct one for the HMS Victory, and if so,  are my deck planks laid in the correct way?
 
This is an image of the HMS Victory deck planking.  On my model I only marked the treenails on the edge of each plank as I thought that if I mark the once in between as well it was going to be too much.

Rich (Archicar), I hope you don’t mind, I borrowed this image from your great set of photos you took and placed in your log. If you do mind I will remove it.   They are great pictures and found them very helpful. Thanks.

Great pictures Rich,  thanks for sharing. I will definitely be referring to them for some detail.  My daughter lives in Stratford-Upon-Avon, hopefully on one of my visits to her from Malta I should also give HMS Victory a visit, Portsmouth is not that far from Stratford.

Finally lower part of the hull all covered with the second planking, but still needs more work, sanding, sealing, varnishing... The small gap between the planks has been purposely left so I will fill with a black filler.  Probably now I will continue work on the upper gun deck and continue the upper part of the hull and wales later.
