Gallery lights: Make and fit all the munions (the dividing pillars) first. Then you can make patterns in card to fit each opening.

Clinker and clench are different names for the same thing! I remember the advertisements in the '70's in Model Shipwright for this kit. Couldn't afford it back then, but lusted after one!

Welcome back, Alex! Beautiful work, as usual.

Absolutely, Shipman! I'm sure I too, with my faults and foibles, qualify for that diagnosis as well....

I wonder whether the treasure trove of recently discovered Black Sea wrecks may hold the key to some of these mysteries. I understand that they will be examined more closely this summer....

I remember, as a kid, seeing him and his models in London at Model Engineering exhibitions. I was too young to truly appreciate his work then. He was an odd character who today may have been diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum.

A fascinating way to solve the engraving issue without photoetching! What diameter bit did you use, Gerald?

Lovely! But don't forget the water holes in the spritsail. -
Oh dear, Keith. Hopefully the new and revised version will have zero runout!

I noticed slight 'eyebrows' over windows and doors worked into the thatch in the last photo.

Erik: there are so many things to consider when lining out. Please read the article (link below) to better understand what you need to do. Also, there are a lot of boat-builders in Scandinavia. Perhaps you could talk to one of them as well! https://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/search/&q=a primer on planking&sortby=newest&search_in=titles

It is hard to tell at long distance, but you are having some problems Erik. Before you go further, may I suggest you replace the black tape with thread? This minimizes the thickness issue. I'm attaching a version of your photo with red lines showing roughly how the lines should go. Note that the lowest planks at the bow, especially the garboard, end earlier to allow enough room for the rest of the planking. At the stern the lowest planks widen at the stern post. Try again and play with the thread positions until you get smooth curves from every angle of view. Have you read A Primer for Planking, pinned on this site?

I tried to access the image you mentioned. The image (if it is the same one) is a stereoscopic pair but, once again, the screen resolution was too low to see exactly what you are querying. Sorry, but I did try!
