I'm about to start planking the hull of the Amati/Victory Models Lady Nelson, and I was hoping to get some feedback on the lines of my proposed planking bands.  I basically just divided up the plank widths on my tick strips for each bulkhead by 3 (4 top planks, 5 middle planks, and 4 bottom planks), then tweaked the lines at the bow to be a little more aesthetically pleasing.  I'm still considering lowering both lines at the bow to give me a little more space for the upper planks and tighten up the area around the garboard strake.

nice way of early viewing the lines Dave,

 

if necessary the bulkhead contact surfaces can be better fine tuned to perfect suit the planking (here all OK)

Well,  I did fair the bulkheads when I was constructing the hull.  It may need some minor adjustment, but for the most part, everything looks pretty good.  Here are some photos of a temporary batten laying across the faired bulkheads (these pictures were taken at an earlier point in my build):
