I’m a little late, back to the planking, suggest using a half round rasp to smooth the planks.  Removes wood faster - effective at leveling the edge between the planks.  A bit of wood needs to be removed to get rid of the inevitable hollows along the plank edges.  

 

Your hull looks great!

Thanks for the tip, Rich.  I will look into when I get ready to smooth out the hull planking; but that won't happen until I get the hull planked on the Medway longboat (which is about half way done).

Work has been slow in the shipyard, but I did get some work done on the stern carvings.  I used meshy and relief maker to generate the stl files and then printed them out on my resin 3d printer.  Now I need to do some test to get them to close in color to the stained basswood of the hull.

Those look pretty darn good!

Nicely done!

They definitely look way better than the white metal ones supplied by model shipways in the kit.
