  1. Very nice result! Love the sharpness that comes through with the oil. Well done
  2. Sorry for your loss! Must be very difficult to say goodbye after such a long time together. Wish you all the strength in this upcoming time. The little ships look beautiful by the way...
  3. Very exciting new build! Wish you all the best and fun with this one
  4. Really...really nice build! Congratz with finishing and with the medal
  5. Congratulations on the sale! I can imagine that at some point you have to sell models because there is simply no more room for them, especially this one! But it will indeed hurt a little bit, because you have put so much time and energy into it. Especially if it is gone so soon!
  6. The video's in which Chuck Passaro explains how he planks his Winchelsea model are here: Planking tutorial Winchelsea
  7. Welcome! And l echo the others...start a build log, it really helps to track your progress and get help from forum member who are building also the Dory. Even the designer of the Dory kit is a member here
  8. I would try different materials and see what you like best. Everyone has their own preferences. I have experience with wooden battens and tape. Wooden battens follow the natural curves more easily without "sharp corners". And with tape you have to be more careful not to get "sharp" corners. For example, with my current Sphinx build I used wooden battens for the first layer because I didn't quite understand how the lines would be, and for the second layer I used tape because I already felt a bit more confident to set out the lines with tape. (Tape is easier to attach than wooden battens). In terms of dimensions I wouldn't go wider than 4mm (and not to thick say 1mm), whether it's tape or wood...and anything below that is fine. Again, experiment to see what you like
  9. Not related to your question, but lovely planking!
