Planking was never my strong suit. I use straight pins to hold planks in place while drying. However, Chuck Passaro has a great guide/tutorial to planking on this site. He is one of the absolute best at planking. I plan to try his methodology on my next build.

The ladders are assembled. One is slightly whopper jawed because I didn’t check the alignment quite as well as I could have when gluing the second side on. Thankfully, these will be hard to see around the ship’s boats.
