    Thanks!

    Okay, finally finished the 7th row on the port side. As I previously mentioned, the best solution for me was to break the the forward plank into 2 parts. I made the foremost section of the bow plank from scratch since the kit provided plank wouldn't work at the bow due to differences in my planking. This piece runs from the bow to the 7th frame back from the bow. I was able to cut the kit plank 13 in half and use the aft portion to continue the row to the 14th frame from the bow as the planking there was right on. Plank 14 from the kit was a perfect fit for the aft most section of the row. Time to finish the nails for that row and then on to the 7th row on starboard side. I will most likely need to take a similar approach on that side also. Not as pretty a planking job as some I've seen but I'm happy with it so far. I haven't done any finish sanding yet so don't judge me 😬

    I thought it was made from metal. Very realistic result.

    Another update. I'm struggling with making the forward plank on the 7th row. I cannot get the shape right for the life of me and I've tried every known method. I think its because its such a long plank. I might have to break that plank down into two planks to make it work or I'll be stuck there forever 😬

    Oh I do remember the quarter galleries, they were tough.

    I'm having flashbacks 😀 Nice idea on the template.
