I finally finished the long process of nailing the last strakes, and having finely sanded the entire surface of the hull with sandpaper gradually more and more fine (220, 400, 600), here is how it looks:

While I carry on the long job of nailing the last strakes, I proceeded to make holes of hawses: their axis is parallel to the keel and have a slight downward inclination, to favor maneuvers hawsers:
I also started the construction of the spur; To give more strength to the union between ebony and peer I thought to use a plug interlocking between the two species: -

After removing all the nails with the card I started to make a first rough finish with 120 sandpaper to remove excess glue and smoothing the side.
There is still a lot of work, especially in the critical points of the curves more, also I have yet to finish the nailing in the last strakes, remained suspended:

before continuing with the construction of the interior I thought it would be better to complete the planking of the hull of the starboard side: the side of the left will leave in carpentry.
I drew with a pencil the locations of the strakes
I started the laying of the first strips

I tried an idea to remedy the problem of nailing garlands that does not conform to the drawings of the monograph, which some friends I have pointed out:
Then I had a strange idea that in the end I think it has given the desired results:
I tried to build the pins with washer using brass wire of 0.6 mm and thin brass sheet from which I got the tiny washers
