Hey dudes and dudettes, not really done much for a bit due to work shifts. Almost done with the first layer of planking, but the lower bow is a real humdinger. gonna have to steam or soak the planks... Anyway, time for some pics.... A nice bow shot. The keel planking. Nice!

A tip: some people on the forum (check Mark's build, for example) split the front ends of the planks to get a better curve on the bow; others put flat sections on the frame so the planks would lie flat, and then sanded the planks to get the curve.
