Nils, do you like to add the plating with copper or brass foil? Do you have a plating plan of the ship? I've seen a part of this type of drawing from one of the Flying P Liners and foud it very difficult to read.

Mark, your old planking was looking ok but your new planking is looking much better. The transoms and espacially the tansition to the counter timber is really tricky. I had there also a lot of problems during the build of my half model.

Very nice work. Your planking is looking really crisp.

Welcome on bord, Antony The completion of the hull of my control model in the region behind the last frames has attracted much longer than expected. When planning the last phase of the construction I realized that the body plan of the original drawing and therefore my reconstruction at the top of the last two frames is too narrow. So back to the drawing board and the frames 19 and 20 newly constructed. The hull at frames 20 is now about 1 mm wider in the region of maximum breath than originally. With the help of several buttok lines and the new water lines I have also redesigned the transoms I haven't add all changes on the test hull, so you can see in the pictures the not entirely harmonious course of the lines. The first step of my little project -the reconstruction of the lines- is complete. In between, I have asked myself several times whether the construction of the half-model was even necessary. After the problems in the reconstruction of the transoms and fashion pieces, that define the shape of the stern, have identified, the construction of the test model was more than worth. I am happy to have the mistakes now and not found during the construction of the POF model. In the next few weeks I'll construct keel, frames and all other components that are needed to build the hull. In autumn I like to start the construction of the POF model. Until then, one last picture which shows the side view of the test hull.

Thanks druxey and Jan. @Jan This would a nice idea, but we don't have the possibility to place the half model on the wall. We live in attic floor apartement

Ben it looks that the port is a little big and so the frames on the counter timber are a little bit small. If you plank the upper part of your hull I wouldn't change anything.

This is the current stand of my reconstruction. As you see on the pictures I've need some putty after sanding. This has two reasons. I've sanded to much on frame 20 The lines for the transoms have some smaller mistakes. During the last month I've redrwan the transoms. Also I've corrected a small mistake of the maximum breath in this area. In the moment I add the counter timbers to my drawing and complete the half model to check the revised design.

The transoms can not be derived directly from my reconstruction of the body plan.In the half breath plan of the orioginal drawing the form of each timber is indeed located, but does not fit properly on the corrected design. Before starting for the next step I have taken these lines and adjust them so that they match up with my design and also with the position of transoms in Sheer plan. Subsequently the transoms were transferred to 3mm plywood, sawn and glued on the control model. I 've filles the gaps as usual with poplar plywood. After sanding the area looks like in the following pictures:

Then I've started sanding the hull. I've used 60 grid until 120 grid sandpaper for the process. After around one week - I can only work on my model in the evening or at the weekends- I've finished the front half of my control model. I am very happy with the result To check the curves I use 1mm thick stripes of maple. The found differences are very small. So I think that my reconstruction will work for the checked range.
