  1. The ships stand is ready, currently with a temporary name on it.

    the planking above wale 3 went quite smoothly.

    But,

    The frame of section 1 is strongly bent inwards at the top. And the stem is straight at the top.

    This result is an unnatural shape of the hull20231013_171429_1280.jpg.38780527a7acc2d4b188ae3424e561d5.jpg

    So, removing these planks and start again for attempt 2. The advantage of PVA glue is that it softens again if you carefully apply isopropyl alcohol to the glue seams.
    The planks can then be removed fairly easily.

    Attempt 2 : better

    But...

    I think I tapered the planks between wale 2 and 3 too much.
    Wale 3 currently has no smooth line. I'm considering attempt 3 (this means more redoing) :unsure:  :default_wallbash:

  2. No a post about progress, but solving a "wale mistery".

    In a previous post I was annoyed by the strange shape of the wale.

    well, solution found.
    the notch at the top does have a reason. This prevents water on the wale from seeping in between the seam of the wale and the plank above it.
