That looks like good progress.
I'm intrigued by your edge bending tool, haven't seen one of those before.

It’s just an angle bracket cut in half with a slightly curved side, just need something the same thickness as the planks. If that’s what you’re talking about.

It was, thanks

In all honesty, you do not need edge bending tools - the first planking is only 1mm thick, you can wet it and induce the curves you want using your finger and thumb

Isaiah, I sent you to a question log that should evolve into something that explains the blocks on the Sherbourne.

Log #12: Priming the hull

Looks good, I think serveral thin layers of paint would do the job without cluttering all details. With my cutter hull which I built in clinker fashion with a mere vivible plank thickness of 0.8 mm at each overlap I am not yet decided whether to apply "white stuff" as on the original vessel or leave it natural wood (plum wood) in order to keep the deatils. I guess, I will make a test planking and try to make out the best way to go.
