Jürgen,

 

why do you install ribbands and plank the side?

Hi Christian,

 

I will show a bit of everything. A bit of planking and so much as possible of the frame-build because I have worked so hard to make it. I will apply only 4 strakes below the main-Wales. Furthermore I think to show the ribbands is also very interest.

Jürgen,

 

wouldn't it be easier to plank one side of the model and let the other perhaps until the whales unplanked?

Hi Juergen,

 

very neat planking! Your Triton is coming good along! I like the color contrast between planks and frames. Very good!

Hi Juergen, 

 

Beautiful work on your Triton build, I am about to start this build as well and am curious as to the type of timber you used for the keel and frames?  I have Tasmanian Oak here but feel it may be too hard to work with easily.

 

Kind Regards

Steve
