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).

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
