good morning everyone thank you for comments and likes deck planking continues, what ever error i have made is continuing through, even though i still dont know if it was a mistake by me, as i have to do the same repair to the foremast joggle plate

Welcome to MSW

please post some photos

i would have thrown all my toys out of the pram after a couple of rows, my other solution would have been to take the cocpit surround off, plank and then use it as a template to cut the planks where the two meet, but that would not look right, and look a worse mess
-
i was looking at the build you tagged me on the FB Amati page, looks like he might have had the same issue, fwd and aft meet quite well,just that area i now hope i can colour match the infills
-
it might be a good idea to plank the upper deck, the printed one is ok but certainly the wrong colour and very unrealistic, there are planty of victory logs on here, if you get chance check out the one by gil middleton file:///C:/Users/testuser/Downloads/Wooden Ships 6_15_2020 (1).pdf https://modelshipworld.com/topic/485-hms-victory-by-gil-middleton-finished-caldercraft-172/

good luck with the build, im quite glad that we are not so tight in our home for space, especially as my last build was over 5 feet long

good evening everyone i hit a problem this morning, and took until tonight to think through a decent repair the after corner jogling board either side of the cockpit did not meet the run of planking was infact just over 1mm short, it has taken me all day to think through a solution in this photo i have tried to go round it but you can see the next board will not be wide enough to fill the gap pulling all the baords off would not solve the problem, as you can see they are symmetrical, infill would not work, then tonight whilst dog walking, i had a senior moment and thought make the cockpit boards wider, and that what i did, an 6 hour worry and an hour to resolve, im happy again, personally i dont know how this could have been avoided starboard side cut off found a piece of strip wood the right width attached it to the joggling board both sides done and back in place
-
i struggled on a bounty i once tried, due to the bow planking, maybe it time to think of giving it another go
-

i did a bit of nibbling on the trawler, but most of it was hidden, not going to be the case here, lol just hope i dont rip it all off and do again
-
good evening everyone 4 rows in and starting to look ok, take a bit of time to get the fir right, as the wood is different widths
-
i see what you means about my build of the Dorade having the rebates in the king planks yours turned out very nice well done
-
thank you, i hope to do it justice, the king plank is well made, it has been removed several time to get it in dead centre, as so far of the 4 rows either side, they are doing in quite well, i will post more of todays work later, lol progress is slower than needs be, as Game of thrones season 6 is dominating my and the admirals free afternoon time##
