Thank you guys.

To Chris - I don't like the black caulking between the planks to be too prominent, so the caulking here is created only by blackening the edge of the plank with a pencil so that it is not too prominent. The only exception is the planks on the decks, where the caulking is created with black paper. Here this color contrast makes a bit more sense (at least from my point of view).

I continue by planing the "thicker" part of the bow.

The cutaway port side of the hull in the last photo looks really cool!

Windows - the last part on the stern, then I will continue on the inside of the hull. I chose the same method as for Le Gross Ventre - a frame made of two halves, in one half a pocket is milled for embedding plastic foil. After gluing, the whole is milled on both sides to the required thickness.

An interesting solution to 'glazed' windows. Any difficulty with static and dust from milling on the plastic?
