Don: Beautiful job on the planking! I love the color of the hull. The variation in plank color only adds to the model. Well done!

Thanks Mike, I'm with you and the wood colouring. I'm not sure what I was doing staining that beautiful wood but I'm much happier now.

Don - I've always liked the varying color in different planks - whether it be the hull or the deck. I like where you're headed!

Good Morning Don
Looking brilliant, the color of the timber gives it a real good
natural finish. looking forward to seeing more.
Cheers Chris

Thanks Ian, the next part of the planking is going to be interesting as that`s where the scuppers are and that fancy bow

Don I love that natural, rich hue. It makes me want to get at my Trabaccolo.

Hello all, Thanks for stopping and adding your likes and comments it's always a good thing.
Since last I have finally finished the lower planking, all went good and I was happy with the results. Then things went a little south on me as I decided to stain her and applied a couple coats of wipe on poly. You can see the results below, after looking at her for sometime I decided it was too dark and sanded it all off. After approx 8-10 hours later the pictures show what I am staying with, yup, a natural finish. This is not the normal way to finish a hull but it does end in a real smooth hull . After sanding with four different grades of sandpaper ( up to 320) I applied one coat of wipe on poly. I applied this with a brush, I know it's wipe on, then sanded in a circular motion with 600 grit until almost dry and starting to ball up then wiped off with a clean rag. I found this method really helps filling the small gaps in and leaves a great finish. This part of the procedure I would repeat again the first part I think is kind of a waste of time and will not recommend to be used
.
Until next time

Hello All, hope things are all good. Since last post not too much has happened. I corrected the stern extensions, thanks Mike and Spyglass, and then went on to planking the lower deck. For the most part a waste of time as it won't be seen but it was a lot of fun and a planking exercise is always a good thing . This was leftover planking from my Mayflower so a bit of a salvage operation as well.
Next up is the false deck and planking it.
Take Care

Thanks very much Steven. That is a very interesting find and to me at least demonstrates the superb craftsmanship those shiprights possessed. Although I wish I had done more research before I started this build I don't think I would have attempted to duplicate that stem/stern approach, at least at this scale.

Thanks Zoltan and thanks for the likes everyone. I am moving at the pace of a snail but am honestly enjoying this build. I just finished painting the inside and am getting ready to lay the deck down. I am going to paint everything except the deck black.
