Nice, nice, nice
Tanks for the info
For the gun port I will probably do as usual build a template for the planking did that in the past it went well.

I haven't been totally dead in the water. Ready to do up a planking plan, also did up the transom planking as a prefab off ship. It will go on after I've finished planking the hull.

Finishing up planking the port side. Starboard is half done. Learned a few things along the way. Including how important it is when starting out with the garboard plank to get the placement just right. Mine had a curve at the bow which of coarse accelerated along the way. Should have started with it back a little more from the bow. So again learning along the way. The stern was also a very tricky area as I haven't done this shape of hull before I really wasn't to sure how it went until i actually did it despite looking at numerous builds online.

Yes, coming along and you are learning. That's the main thing. I can see you lined out the strakes but at the stern you may have to add planks and at the bow, drop some. Don't rush!

Finishing up the port planking. There will be some additional planks added over top of the wales and a shear plank that will be right below the rail. Then I will add my prefab-ed transom planking.

I did ok with the planking process. Started out poorly and spent some time playing catch up. Gave a quick sand to the last two pics.
