Glad to see you found some time to work on her. Well done!

Boy that looks fantastic!

Congratulations Bob! You've done an outstanding job.

Great planking! Well done!

Hi Glenn,

Sorry for the delay but I had to first shake some cobwebs loose.

I took the lengths and pattern right from the plans. It's a four plank

shift and the plans show the joint locations. I marked the bulkheads

and got my plank lengths from there.

Hope this helps.

Hi Glenn, I think you're going to love this build and we're going to love following along. 

It's always fun to see how each modeler approaches a build. 

Yes it is very nice!

Great information Ben. Thanks 

The Winnie is not the simplest hull to plank even with Chucks great guidance.

You're doing a good job and I'm sure you're improving with every plank you do. 

Keep up the good work!

Looking really nice Ben. A lot of fun planking in your future!

Looking really nice! The fun has now begun!

Thanks Glenn, Funny your builds have always inspired me!

I agree the cherry on our Fair American's have aged very nicely.

A large portion of the pear I'm using came from Jeff too.

Thanks scrubbj427.

Thanks Chuck, the pear is kinda like cherry on steroids. It'll be interesting to see how it ages.

Thanks Ryland. I've never used this much pear before and I'm happy with the look.

Thanks everyone for the likes too!

It's been 5 weeks and I've been slowly plodding along.

I've now planked the second band of six strakes on both the port and starboard sides. The

number of planks broken or miss shaped are too numerous to keep track of. Also on the

starboard side after resting for the night and then resuming the next day I did not like the look

of first three strakes. So the first two planks from the stem aft were removed and redone.  

Here's how she looks right now. I'll be starting from the keel up next.

As always thanks for stopping by and stay safe!

Great workmanship Ryland. I remember that demonstration well. You did a great job applying it!

That planking is looking really good! I hear you on the broken/messed up planks.

I've probably have enough in the bin to plank a small cutter!

Very nice Ben. I'm looking forward to the hull planking!

Very nice job. I'm glad that you redid it seeing you weren't happy with the first planking.

I've replaced many offending plank and am much happier for it!

That molding looks fantastic!

Great workmanship and shop Ben.

Very very nice Ben. 

Looking really good Steve. I do as Chuck suggested and haven't had any issues gluing.

That transom looks great!

Thanks Chuck and Ben. Chugging along slow and steady and loving it!

Also thanks for all the likes too.
