I did finish the starboard hull planking , I did some mistakes here erlier 

my tappering was not enuff at the start, so I got a problem with the last 7 planks

but I did get the 7 planks inn tappering to half a with 

I have to take the garboard plank more aft then I was thinking 

so its not perfekt but close and the hull is getting copper plates later 😊

I did also make the pin rails  (boxvood )

I did steel Dubs ide for the rails , cut them up in lenght using a hook scarf

Thanks for the liks, 

I did look at Alexey Domanoff  (how to make small nails with round head)

But I used a file for this , it works. So I make a sample, posted it on the wales 

Yust to see how it looks.

erlier I did or maby wanted to install this to the wales but it diddent work at that time, so with this metod it can?

it may not be historycal correkt but it make the wales come to life, the nails on the photo is a bit to large and if I do this I wil use brass wire, in this case I yust used wat I have, black wire 

Wat do you think?

Making nails patten using derma rollor, so I order one and something else to go😉

It need to be rebuild a bit. 

[svein erik]

If I cant do the task of plating the hull I May have to paint the hull 😨

 

Svein.erik 

[Gahm]

Copper plating the hull really consists of 2 steps: a) making the copper plates and b) mounting them on the hull. There are a lot of examples of how the plates can be made. I followed a lead in one of the build logs and used diabetes needles to generate the nail imprint. There is also a nice little micro press which I bought at Micro Mark which can be used for stamping the plates. Or the plates can be bought already finished from Blue Jacket or other companies. Mounting the plates just needs a little 'dry practicing' until one gets the hang of it. The finished result is normally quite rewarding.
