Congrats to this milestone Mark. I believe about your skill the planking will be easy for you.

Hello, thanks very much Mick, Allan and Nils That's good to know Mick and Allan. Now I can sleep soundly again. @Nils I would like to show a bit of everything at the outside. The Main-Wale and below of it 4 rows with shifting planks. Then the 1st futtock- and the floorhead -ribbands and the garboard strake. Above the black-strake I will also plank only a part of the frames but in any case the complete sheer strake. Both sides will be similar. So the theory.

I do not understand why, but one side of the hawseholes were not similar to the other. I had wrong measured, that's absolutely certain for me because I have made one side some day's earlier than the other. Here's a pic there you can see the variety of height. The level of the holes at the starboard side is correct. So I closed the holes at the portside and drilled new ones as the same level as of the starboard side.

Hello again The fitting of the black strake is started and the next problem is coming. Therefore the following photo There isn't enough space between the left haws-hole and strake. Must be the altitude of the strake reduced for fitting the boxing? I admit to be a bit douptful about this. Oh, by the way, the wale is now tapered and also the strake a bit. In hindsight I believe it's better to do this before the ledges are fitted. Learning by doing.

Hello druxey and Richard Much thanks for your answers. I must confess to my shame, I didn't have added Chuck's interested build to my following list. Now it's done. Oh, there are so many build's and information’s here on MSW. Very nice photo that is showing this detail, such photos are not often to find. I found this advice to tapper the wale in Vol 2 of the swan series too (I have only 1 +2) but could not imagine this. At the searching in other build's I found a photo from Dan of the Vulture. But It's not to see if the wale going in the rabbet or flush to the stem. At my Triton it's going flush to the stem because it's never to see if the black strake and the blanks below are fitted.

Much thanks also for all the likes at first Hi druxey Sometimes I'm to be to hasty but I give my best to have more patience. I would like to taper the thickness of the wale when the black strake is fitted. I thought it's easier to get the right shape at this way. The wale isn't ending in the rabbit. The black strake and the lower blanking will be ending in the rabbet so you can't see this (so the theory).

Hello, the next step is done and the Main Wale is fitted. I had I little mistake nearing completion. The following photo should be a little help to declare it. For fitting the last ledge of the Main Wale it was necessary to sanding the outside of the side counter timber at starboard side (blue arrow). But there wasn't enough material, the part was to small at this point (yellow x) . I had to many material removed at the inner side (red arrow). The exchange of the part seems like too much effort to me. So I decided to glue a piece of wood to the counter and sanded it down. I believe that must be alright on the finished model. And now some photos of the Main Wale. It's still to do a bit sanding on the port side.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
