Here is the main deck planking with one coat of WoP.

 

I clearly could have done a better job at color matching the pieces but with a few more coats of WoP the differences will be reduced (I hope).

 

The hatch covers are just sitting there to provide some idea of what the main deck will look like when finished.

While trying to figure out how to plank the forecastle I decided to work mon the qdeck.

 

Having learned while doing the main deck that graphite from darkening the sides of the planks to simulate caulking is messy, I applied masking tape over the cap rail. The main deck cap rail had to be repainted it was so messed up with graphite (not to mention a few dings and scrapes).

 

So here are the king planks and "end plank" in place ready to start the "real" planking.
