Thank you Chuck and Rusty.

Planking the first belt
Chuck has set out the approach clearly in Chapter four and I hope to follow his example.
I have tick marked each bulkhead for the first belt and tentatively prepared the first strake below the Drop plank.
There is a fair bit to think about, marking the plank for the taper, remembering to mark the butt joints at the correct place, bevelling the plank before fitting, and marking the 'tar' line on the edge.
8016
The first plank below the Drop Plank is very short with a butt joint below the first port. I prepared a longer plank to include the second butt joint which is just forward of the third port from aft.
The first butt joint was scribed, which allowed me to get a continuous run and more easily form the required lateral curve into the stem rabbet.
8015
The third plank running to the stern was fitted separately and required a little twist where it runs into the counter.
8038
Port side strake completed.
8037
I run planks port and starboard alternatively to monitor the match, and place an even stress on the hull.
8040
Once the plank is shaped a dry fit is required to mark the butt joints, which are then cut.
The method indicated by Chuck really does take the guess work out of planking, which is not necessarily the same as saying I can match his peerless work.

Five strakes completed below the wale, photo'd here in their unrefined state with only glue stains scraped away.

I will now continue to finish the first belt. From this point onwards clamping the planks to the bulkheads gets a tad more tricky as they start to follow the round of the hull towards the keel.

Thank you Denis,
yes, I`m also quite pleased with the result of fixing the pinnace on the "watersurface" outboards, and the little figures, I found on Ebay, in scale 1:48 undergo a little bit of plastic surgery and painting. ( at least one arm at the oars) .The tricorn hats are also self made....

Yesterday I painted pirate figures. This was practically my first experience of painting figures. Figures from kit by Alexminiatures. At one of the figures I changed the position of the hands. Then I covered them with a primer from the ballon. Then I painted them with brushes.
