Thank you Chuck for both the compliments and the warning. I hope I can prevent the mistake you mention.

So I'm slowly getting closer to finishing the second layer of wales, one test...
-
Linning off the Hull ... only a few pictures, Thanks to Chuck's tick strips, I only needed to make slight adjustments. But surely a constant check during the planking will be necessary. Before I started the second layer of wales I glued one strake as I planned.

Thank you for the nice comments and for the likes guys, it always encourages! On the starboard side I glued the first two strakes below the wales. Maybe I'll add 1-2 more strakes to make it sanding smoother . But before that - Lining of the Hull. And then I'll add a second layer of wales, what I'm looking forward to it.

Very nice Glenn, I look forward to the continuing

Hey guys, I haven't made a post in a long time, even though I've been working almost every day. I also bought Cadmium Red Deep and I like it more. The third time I painted the gunnports with a mixture of 1part Cadmium medium and 2 parts deep. Unfortunately it doesn't show up well in the pics. In real it looks better. But when I do the inner planking I will experiment more. I may end up using only Cadmium Red Deep.

Thanks guys, Frank I'm about 50km far from Prievidza and I have a classmate there. Wow I didn't know that Vlado, what a good coincidence. Two Winnie on the Váh 😀
-
wow, really beautiful planking Frank.
-
That looks great Jeff. I admire your patience and skill.

Hi guys, the first layer of wales is done and I've started painting the gunports. I'm not at all sure if this is a good red. It's this one: Vallejo Cadmium Red Medium Wouldn't it be better: Vallejo Cadmium Red Deep Unfortunately I can't get a better picture of it. What do you think? There is only the first coat so far.

treenails after sanding are very decent but later oil paint will show them up glued second wales, hawse holes, and experimenting with scuppers...

treenails

preparation for nailing... drilling 0.6 mm and treenails cherry 0.55

more planks above wales
-
planking under the main wales is completed... It's not quite perfect, but I don't want to use putty and I think an oil or wax finish will make it even better
-
wow, you surprised me guys with your positive comments and likes. It made me very happy. Thank you guys. And yes Allan you are right, the gratings is my work. In the kit is only photo-etched gratings.
-
The second planking was a really a fight...😕
-
the first four strakes of the wales in place
-
Thank you for the comments and for the likes guys. The next step was planning the planking and making the wales. It was quite challenging.
-
Thank you guys, the drop plank isn't glued. I only used it as a template for the position of the first strake.
