Your planking is looking good! trippwj 1 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures." Lord Nelson Search and you might find a log ...

trippwj Posted September 17, 2017 Author #245 Posted September 17, 2017 Greetings! Well, after a year of fretting over the planking, I guess it is time to bring the ECB back to the table, grit my teeth, and plunge into finishing the hull. Here, then, are some images of the current status. Wish me luck!

bhermann Posted September 18, 2017 #250 Posted September 18, 2017 I love the shots with the landscape in the background. It is easy to imagine the ECB full sized and sitting waterside.

trippwj Posted December 25, 2019 Author #255 Posted December 25, 2019 Wow - has it really been 2 years? I finally decided that the only way I could move on was by not doing any more planking. Since she is in the yard being repaired for the display I stopped where I thought it looked good and started the painting. I plan to weather it some and then continue construction. yvesvidal, lmagna, tarbrush and 8 others 11 Quote WayneNeither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should life rest on a single hope.Epictetus

trippwj Posted January 3, 2020 Author #261 Posted January 3, 2020 About 2/3 planked.
