The planking is done! It was a fun part of the project. But good to be on the completed side of it.

 

Next up is the so called monkey railing then some railing paint. Paint the hull first? Or plank the deck?  🤔  I'll have to give it some thought. 

 

Some notable faux pas along the way:

-Set the xacto knife down on the bench and it rolls off and stabs my foot.

-Both hands busy with the model, set a tool down right into a puddle of freshly squeezed glue.

-Set a tool down and it magically disappears.

Bluenose. 1921  preparing for a race. Thanks to Nova Scocia Archives for giving me permission to post. Nice people there.

 

This is how I intended to display my Bluenose model, dry docked with the two sails furled.  Should look very cool! Beautiful ship!

 

Also, as in this old Bluenose photo, I plan to let my planking detail show under the paint. Once I get a coat of primer on I'll be able to see the effect. If it's too much, I may have to do some selective spot filling. 

 

I put a couple of coats of shellac on the planking to seal the wood prior to painting, and to see how the deck may look finished in shelac. Should look nice as long as I keep glue residue off the deck planks.
