I so hope someone reads this.
Name is Harry.
New at all this.
Please let me know the correct way to post any questions I may have on a Caldercraft build of HMS Victory.
Essentially just started and have completed the 1st planking, filled, sanded, and smooth.
Do I really have to install walnut over the 1st planking if I intend to apply the copper plates?
Or, does the 2nd planking begin where the 1st ends and proceed upward.
Confused, and would appreciate guidance.
I can't really tell from the excellent pictures whether it's 2nd planking over the 1st or if the first was just stained to match.
Thanks in advance.
Harry
