Boooohhhhh !!! There is one rank of planks missing before the water inlets Got to cut them off and correct Un dos tres, I can count; but up to 65 seems a little bit complicated for me. Fortunately not too many damages

Some one said "Brass bits, brass bits .... Agghhhh !!!" Was it Confucius, Lao Tseu, or Markus ...? I can't remember but it doesn't matter: True thought wil never die. In order not to get fed up with brass I began to plank the upper rear deck with 0.6mm planks ie 12cm on the real ship which seems correct according to the photos. A little bit long but I hope it will look fine.

In order not to get fed up with brass I began to plank the upper rear deck Bruno, I predict it won't be too long after a good session planking you'll be dying to get back to the 'brassing', You've made a good start though on the deck. Have some 'k'.

A littre trick in deck planking. The main problem With thin Planks is the positionning of the first one. It tends to behave like a snail and is difficult to place strait and properly along the middle line. So I fixed a bigger plank wrapped in food protection film to prevent the small planks from getting stuck on it. Then I could push the first plang again the Wrapped Woodblock the second one against the first one and so on. After 6 or 8 planks they become is à solid block and the extra wood part con be removed At the back ground the first part partially sanded down (I wait for the brass parts to know the exact height)

The top of the rear roof is completely planked. ;D ;D The gap on the left wil be "filled" by sanding down to final level. I have to go down one deck now !!
