I figure that today I'll run out of bamboo planking material. So then I'll go on and work on the ships boat. Ive Also got a scratch build of a design out of my imagination that needs more planking, that will keep me busy. Good thing that my wife loves and and approves of my hobby. Because I tend to disappear each evening into my Boatcave.

Well here goes my first attempt at a build log. I've built a few wood models before this, but this is my first major build. I like the idea of a subscription option. It makes it possible for me to do a high end kit such as the Sovereign. As I go along there will be some changes made. I like the look of the unpainted wood on the sides of the ( bulwarks)? Of the poster that they send with the first issue. I will also add the triangle deadeyes as seen on the poster. I read somewhere that that ship is not the actual model that I will build, but that is ok with me. Watching the builds of so many others opens up my imagination to do more than just build right out of the box. I've already dipped my foot in the water with scratch building before. I was a member of IPMS back in my plastic days. Then I received my first wooden ship. The Blunose. Much fun and the start of a whole new experience. As I read the builds of others I'm pleased to be apart of the family. Thanks

Thanks E.J. You simplified it quite a lot. I like math anyway. I've got five rows started at the top deck of the sovereign and three full rows at the bottom the way the book shows on my first planking. But I'm going to play with the math and get some practice in to start with for the rest of the planking.

Good morning from my neck of the woods. As I look at your second planking, I am interested in learning how you came up with the measurements for your hull. As I go to the second planking of my sovereign from Model Space, I will try my hand at your technique. My first planking leaves a lot to be desired. But I'm alittle touched in the head as I like things that are hard over the easy way.
