Correct, but bear in mind that the amount that you need to remove from each bulkhead may change slightly from top-to-bottom. Use a planking strip to check your progress. Ideally, at each bulkhead the plank should lie flat across the edge with no sharp bend in the plank and no gaps between it and the bulkhead. It's one of the skills that comes with the territory -- you'll get the hang of it. -
No worries! In fact, you still have a lot of sanding left to do! The blocks you have glued in at the bow and stern -- the filler blocks -- need to be sanded to match the contours of the false decks above them and the bulkheads adjacent to them. The bulkheads also need to be bevelled so that your planks will not form a sharp kink at each bulkhead. You'll want your planks to form smooth curves from stem to stern. Midship bulkheads require little bevelling, if any, but those at the bow and stern may need quite a bit, especially on bluff-bowed subjects like Halifax. Good luck!

Dia dhuit! Search through the build log index. There are several builds of this kit in progress.

Fantastic work -- worth the wait! -
Loved this book and its film adaptation when I was a kid.

Prepping for fiberglass continues. Bottom panels and fillets sanded smooth, #2 strakes taped off, and fiberglass draped and smoothed.

I'm keen to see how this one turns out. Baltimore clippers are not rare in our hobby, but we don't see the Panart version often.

Hello, Dart. Lovely model, but this one should also be moved to a gallery album. Thanks!

Here's a tip: you will get a lot more views of your post, along with potential answers to your question, if you give your topic an appropriate title, not just your username. I fixed it for you this time.

Wow. I would cry tears of joy if I could get a planking job that looked that good done in a day. 😑

It's not really so much "wrong" as it is a wasted effort by our members. Loose images are easily overlooked, and if they're not renamed, then they don't show up in search results, e.g. no one searches for "IMG_0001." We appreciate your giving attention to this!

⚠️**ATTENTION! NOW HEAR THIS!** ⚠️ I'm giving this topic a bump, because there are members out there who are not getting our message that your gallery images NEED TO BE PLACED IN ALBUMS and are in iminent danger of being deleted! 😬 Please move your loose images to albums ASAP!

Interesting. The printed parts I've seen before, but partially routed is something new -- to me at least.

Ah, I have been eagerly awaiting this post ever since you updated us about the flag halyards. What a splendid result! I hope you will create a gallery album for us. Cheers!

Welcome aboard! BlueJacket's owner, Nic Damuck, and one of their designers, Al Ross, are both members here. I'm sure they'll be interested in seeing your project get underway. Cheers!

Welcome, Colin! Not sure what kind of morality question plays into it, but you are certainly welcome to post your log here, and based on your previous models I expect that your Le Superbe will be, well, superb! -

Hello from Northern California Foothills
ccoyle replied to bobandlucy's topic in New member Introductions
Hello, Bob. Which foothills are we talking about? I grew up in Humboldt County, and before I moved to South Carolina five years ago we lived in the foothills east of Mariposa. Sadly, for me at least, they are expecting snow over the next couple of days, while here we have seen none so far this winter, and the window of opportunity will be closing soon. Cheers!
