I don’t believe there are any walnut hull planks as the hull is designed to be painted. You can check my build log, link is in my signature below, but I think the second planking uses the same wood strips as the first. Been 7 plus years since I built mine so my memory is s bit fuzzy. Update : there is some very nice walnut/mahogany colored super thin veneer wood in the kit for the 2nd planking, also some thin walnut strips for the coaming. The veneer is about 0.5 mm thick.

Re: whites of eyes. An old trick I learned in woodcarving was to take a modest sized pin, or standard wood toothpick, touch it to white paint, pick up small amount, then touch it to the part of the eye you want to be white. You can use the same technique for the highlight on the iris/pupil. Take a wee bit of practice but it does work.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
