      All the planking is finished so it's away with the pins and out with the sandpaper and filler.Click image for larger version

        Hi Peter
        That planking looks very neat. I'm impressed. It will be stunning when complete.

                There is only one layer of planking if there was any more I would be heading for the hills.
                The glue I used is Evo stick interior wood glue.

                      A very nice finish on your hull.

                          Peter, are you aware of the Ships of Scale Forum. It may be of some interest to you.
