 Hi all  I am still on planking mode and have now reached the side of the ship The planking on the side starts at the join and go up past the first set of gunports and up to the top deck To break up the planking I did some more planking but in micro scale as I have planked the ships boat lol as the instructions says to paint it brown but I want it to be a all wood finish so I had some very small strip in my bits box just right for doing the job I must admit it was very fiddly and a few swear words later it is now finished Right back to planking the hull and thanks for looking rgd Martyn Martyn Ingram attached the following image(s): Building ?

Thank you all for looking in and the brilliant comments I have finally finished the first planking of the hull last night and applied some filler to the low points and left to dry This morning I went out side in the freezing cold to sand this baby down as the better half would have kittens if I did it indoors  After a couple of hours and shivering the hull is sanded down  Next up is the second planking on the stern but that's for later tonight Cheers for looking rgd Martyn Martyn Ingram attached the following image(s): Building ?

Lovely job on the planking martyn,looks nice and smooth.Bad timing on the outdoor sanding though,your timbers must be well shivered Man he took his time in the sun Had a dream to understand A single grain of sand He gave birth to poetry But one day will cease to be Greet the last light of the library...We were here!

Yep I am in the same boat Jase not quite sure what I am going to do yet  Right back to the build . I have put the second planking onto the stern and bow very pleased the way it looks Next job planking the sides. I have thought a lot about this and have decided to plank in two different woods to give a two tone finish a bit like the Santa Ana and the Victory and to achieve this I have to thank Alan for helping me out on this as he sent me the bass wood that he had left over from his SotS so thanks again Alan . This approach I would not recommend to the first time builder and it might come back to bite me but anyway I marked the side to the centre of the gunports so the planks would lineup I must admit it has gone a lot better than I expected. I still have to clean up the gunports but will do that later when I frame the ports Next discussion is what colour to stain the light wood any help would be greatly appreciated Comments good bad or ugly would be brilliant but not to many ugly ones as I might blub Thanks for looking rgd Martyn Martyn Ingram attached the following image(s): Building ?

Thanks Martyn, happy to be able to help out... .. Thinking of your plans for planking I would be very tempted just to coat the light wood with Danish oil, the more coats you apply the darker it will become. Because the wood is so light in colour I wouldn't go near any kind of woodstain without a good practice session first, could turn out to be very patchy otherwise.... .. Build's looking fab and look forward to your next update. Regards Alan

Hi Martyn Nice work so far as for a colour for the light wood you could try using a burnt umber or sepia wash like I used on the Agamemnon just water it down by 50% and add a coat then let dry if you want it darker add coats until your happy but let then coats dry as it darkens off as it dries.
