I think your planking looks very nice, and when all the copious amount of detail is added to the inside, you won't even see most blemishes that are catching your eye now. And in any event they are probably far more noticeable to you than to anyone else. I think you have a great looking hull. If I can offer more unsolicited advice, getting the tops of the frames a lot thinner will help you a lot when you move on to making the cap rail. Otherwise it ends up being much too thick and out of scale.

Something that I found handy at this step was to take a cylindrical plastic pen cap, cut it down to a length that spanned just a couple ribs, and then glue semi coarse sandpaper to the outside. It gave me a small sanding drum that could get into tight spaces. It was a bit of a pain to hold in my fingers while sanding, but it helped. Your boat is coming along very nicely.

Nice to see it underway again, it's looking great.

I have no experience with those particular figures, and will be curious about what you learn if you do go that route. I know 28mm figures tend to be a bit on the beefy end for 1/64 scale ship models, though it depends on the manufacturer. The chunkier ones I think are more like 1/56 or so. Perhaps the 25mm figures will be a better fit. Definitely way too small for 1/48 though.

That's a fantastic looking boat. And I think the brass tubing for the shafts of the oars has come out well, nice idea.

The planking looks lovely, and the striping effect just enough to say yes, indeed these are individual planks. The strength will increase drastically as soon as you have added a few of the simulated frames.

That is some very sharp, neat planking, well done. She will be a beauty. Also it's a contractual obligation to break a few delicate pieces on these little kits, so much better to get that out of the way early on.

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.
