and welcome to MSW. It would be nice to see what you do with the model. -
Nice planes @AJohnson, I wish that I had room for some of the larger kits. I'm in for this Andy, you do some kind of magic with these 1/72 kits😉

Thanks, I don't think I'd have the nerve to be a surgeon, that's why I became a bricklayer😁 Thank you! Watching you do your Cheerful, made me realise removal and replacement was all for the good.😉

Thank you Jim, to say I am pleased with the result feels a bit of an understatement, but yes I'm very happy how it turned out.

With the remove and replace work done, I gave the whole deck another good sanding. and a coat of WOP As can be seen (or not, as intended) the remedial planking worked. No unsightly overly dark planks😊 I still need to do the detailing of the patners and the waterway. I yet to find a satisfactory method of shaping the waterway. I shall try and get these jobs started over the weekend, then onwards to Chapter 5. Thanks once again to all who gave advice and removal methods, all of which helped enormously. Also for the likes, comments and popping in. Cheers

Superb work with the PE Rob! It's looks great! Again there is that Steampunk look of the array while unpainted, very HG Wells
-
That's a very nice transition at the counter Frank, well done indeed!

I got several hours on Winnie, and removed the darker planks. I gave a few of the suggestions a try, but in the end the last plank was taken out by running a brand new no.11 blade carefully down the seams and drilling two holes large enough to take my needle nosed pliers, carefully applied gentle pressure and the whole plank came out albeit with the attached false deck. I have some ply of the same thickness to replace that. I'd not edge glued the planks, so they came out easier and didn't damage any of the adjoining planks The planks were cut, shaped and dry fitted glued in and given an initial sanding I'm happier with the result. Thank you to everyone who commented or gave some advice on how to remove the offending planks, I much appreciate the help and encouragement. Also thanks for all the likes and for looking in. Cheers

Thank you to all for the tips and advice, I will probably try them all, when I get time on Winnie. The results will be posted here, good or bad!!🤔😊. Hopefully the former😶

I'm in, hammock slung!😊

@VTHokiEE I'm going try running a razor blade down the sides of the planks, then very carefully tease them off the false deck. They are fixed with white glue so a drop of isopropyl will loosen the grab with any luck.

@FrankWouts @James G @jfhealey Yes, it's the 3 darker planks, they've been cut for over a year and just sitting on a shelf, so I think they've just mellowed. That said, I have decided to remove them and replace them with newly ripped stock. I just hope I can get them out without doing damage to the surrounding decking! Frank, it shows in your hull planking that you have been diligent and patient, as it looks absolutely beautiful. Between you and Glenn(glbarlow), you are setting a standard 😊

Another round of planking finished. the two hook planks went a lot easier this time around. I'm entirely sure wether I'm going to leave those darker planks in or change them. They were a few of the original strips I cut for the hull, They don't look that dark after sanding. so a coat of WOP was applied and I really don't like them, next time I've got time on Winnie I shall remove and replace with newer stock. Thanks for all the likes and comments, and for calling in. Cheers
